Dogs are not a big worry unless you panic.

I'll have to consider adding attack dogs to my military.

The last time I had a dog lunge at me, the butt of a K2 set it straight.
Unless rabid or otherwise cornered/vicious-by-training, a dog will be more afraid of you than you are (or should be) of it. Know how those big guys in high school were all talk, no fight? That is the exact same way dogs are. If you let them screw with you, they will. Show them you give zero fucks (like that time I bit one: not as epic as it sounds, though, unfortunately), they will stop immediately.

Another development in Ulfran firearm technologies. Utilizing both Fordorsian "line-in" hard-point reinforced Receiver technology and some of the latest in Ulfran manufacturing techniques. With a re-structured magazine well, a re-designed gas system and a highly convenient addition of sights derived from the highly venerated FN-FAL series of rifles, the final addition of a left-folding folding-stock and a longer barrel with match-grade rifling so as to increase the spin and velocity of the munitions fired truly seem to "make" the rifle. Having been received with immense praise from both officers and infantry amongst haersmann, the GEV-SL (Self-loader) series of rifle seemed to be achieveing mechanical perfection (close enough to it anyway). Many foreign non Ulfheim-native militaries have viewed it as "grossly destructive" due to the levels of gross-tissue damage caused by the high velocity and large bore of the cartridge used, the very fact that it can be used on fully automatic has been cause for alarm in some cases when US, UK or other "Allied" nations have had time to deal with it. Several requests have gone in for an anti-dire wolf/smilodon DMR variant to be made available for rear-guard units in foreign armies due to how quickly it brought down Smilodon packs encrouching upon allied units during the third North American War (CSA, Cal-Republic, Union, with Deseret acting like a North American Switzerland (all of this happening during 1988-1999). In the long-run, the GEV-85T has been deemed "The final modification and upgrading of the GEV-SL rifle-series's mechanical action." by the Ulfranes Haer Quartermasters Guild. Any future models of the rifle may either be in a bullpup configuration, have newer alloys and metal-formulas involved in construction and potentially new stock component and/or sights.

Ulfran folk seem to be more monster than man, read all o' this and all shall be explained:The time the first Ulfran peoples spent in the Ocean of Time, being caught adrift in it's waves caused them to change and shift for ceaseless millennial cycles, allowing for them to evolve to fit their terrifying and constantly shifting environs (wherever the nomadic armada landed at over the endless ages). Landing on the shores of distant and ancient lands, future worlds and lands that could've been, will be should've been and were, combined with the maelstrom of energies and forces at work truly altered their genomes. They are, or at least were Homo Sapiens Sapiens at one point, but have changed incredibly. They look like very tall Germano-Nordic people, with old world physical asthetics due to the fact that the first Ulfrans were in original Norrheimr(first Germanics in existence) that got set adrift on the Ocean of Time due to a fog-bank catching the entire migratory armada (This occurred in the late Migration Era, when Europe was first being colonized). Eventually, after being adrift for multiple millennial cycles, the Ulfran migratory armada met their gods, "Det Store Jegere" or "The Great Hunters", believed to be a lost tribe of gods related to the Aesir. The pantheon's chief god, "Ulfr", for whom they named themselves after granted them a great gift, a blessing if you will, to make them stronger, more predatory and if anything far more savage, as one ancient poet put it "Men with the hearts of great northern wolves." Ulfran folk have nothing in common with Lycanthropic myth, but are quite capable in unarmed combat due to the absurd strength of limb and bodily core. Some of the more common traits among Ulfrans, aside from the incredible height for which they are so well-known is the fact they tend to have reinforced jaws and joints, pointed teeth and occasionally more angular ears in some of the older more vicious clans.
After the Ulfran people settled and began to violently conquer their homeland they encountered a race of creatures or, "pseudo-abhuman" as an anthropologist from Prussia had called them when looking over the chewed and marred bones. When the Ulfran Varprestur (War Priests) saw the power and wrath of the Jottnar (sub tribe of giants), they decided that these creatures must be slaughtered and consumed, tribe-by-tribe, so as to make the Ulfran people stronger, larger and more acclimated to this cold and unforgiving land. The Jottnar tribes were hunted down, slaughtered, and their hearts, blood and marrow were consumed, the strange after effects of being immersed in the maelstrom of energies filling the Ocean of Time (And Ulfr's blessing, this event was planned apparently) caused the Genetic structure of the Ulfran people to be more "Receptive" to certain genetic markers and traits. Amongst those traits was a massive height increase, they were an already tall people, this made them more akin' to the Jottnar tribes they ritually consumed, thicker bones, more efficient cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and a highly accelerated healing rate due to the combination of Jottnar geno-matter and Ulfr's Gift. Amongst the usually unmentioned factors that did come into play was the application of Eugenics in a primal manner during the migratory days of the folk, the weak, ill or infirm (mentally as well as physically) were cast into the abyssal depths as sacrifice, their throats slit over a ritual drinking horn and their bodies thrown into the deep after being carved with runes of sacrifice unto Ljøkmaalr, the god of the sea. Such a deed culled the population count and cut down on the need for ship stealing in whatever era they were thrust in temporarily and on the amount of food that was needed per great-ship. The culling/sacrificial eugenics also allowed for the strong to survive and breed, empowering the overall "stock" of the Ulfran Gene-pool, further hardening them against the ravages of randomly skipping through time for several millennial cycles and the overall havoc that wrought and the ravages they encountered within the Ocean of Time itself.
At the beginning of the Classical Age, more reference to these tall and monstrous people are found in things like the Iliad, The Nibelungenlied (Nibelungensaga), Beowulf, and various other highly important pieces of historic literature; to say the least, Ulfran involvement in the Icelandic sagas is even more apparent when Egil was in Denmark and he encountered a group of Ulfran warriors that had landed to both trade and raid should it prove opportune. After subsequent generations, the combination of the multiple modifications that had been done to the Ulfran genepool had finally melded and created the Ulfran people was we know them several hundred years before the Trojan War was truly in motion. In the long run, all they have endured as a people, all the modifications, both from their gods, from the sacrificial culling/eugenics and the ritualized consumption based acclimation to the Ulfheim environment established a precedent for how the Ulfran folk would always live, and how every fiber of their being would be geared for war, carnage, mayhem and strife.
As such, the average physical features of Ulfran-folk are thus:
Basic Height: Six foot, Seven,Nine or Eight Inches Tall (They tend to be broad of build and well proportioned).
Common Facial features: Nordic, long faces, strong Jaws, North German chin/jaw-lines.
Common Eye Colors: Blue, Green, Hazel, Grey, Blackish Grey.
Common physical traits: Pointed and occasionally ridged teeth Teeth, sometimes mildly angled quasi-lupine ears (very bloody rare), Primeval-looking highly lupine eyes (it varies in degree depending on clan).
Ulfr-Reich is borderline FanT and is heavily Diesel/retro/teslapunk in influence, same goes for the other nations in Ulfheim. And consider this, the Quaternary extinction event never happened, Smilodon, Dire Wolves, mammoths, other such beasts roam a world where the climate is still very "late-ice age/early post-ice age". Winters are longer, wars are harsher, and militaries do tend to armor their troops not just because of combat itself, but due to the environment itself.

As for claims of it being "Stab" proof, I very much doubt this claim unless it's a pure steel/metal insert (AR500). Standard Kevlar plates offer just about zero protection from sharp objects such as knives. This is why you have stab vest, and bullet resistant vests, not one in the same.
Having said that, interesting read up. It's been several years since my last Russian Threat brief, nice to see what has and hasn't really changed.

Thats fencing, a quick burst of energy for a short period. Try walking 25km with a 4kg rifle in your arms with an additional 20-30kg of gear, or running that far. While being shot at.
Remember your environment, and what your doing.

New ambi ejection system for bullpups: Hooded cheek rest covers the ejection port, with a tube inside. Cartridge is ejected to the side, into the tube. As the bolt returns, a lug on the side pushes the cartridge out the front of the tube. Cartridge is ejected forward and out, just above the trigger hand.
Thinking being that this would make for a simple mid-eject system.
