The WSI-14 5.45mm, a copy of the AK-74M. It fires high velocity polymer telescoping cartridges and is used by all branches of the WSDF. It is known for its reliability and legendary durability. Most of its furniture is made of a durable black polymer and it comes in 20 round, 30 round, and 70 round magazines. It can also use the 100 round drum from the squad support weapon.

Image

A carbine variant, the WSI-14S, is also widely in use with the military and police. It is essentially the same as the WSI-14 with just a shorter barrel

The AR-15 series of assault rifles, that's really all that needs to be said.

PMT

The M8A2 assault rifle, based off a failed Vingaardian design, it has been in service for over two decades and the military is in the process of replacing it with an unknown new rifle to serve as the standard weapon of ground troops, military police, the constabulary, and the various branches of the Department of National Security.

FT

The M32 blaster rifle, the new standard weapon of the military that replaced the aging M50 just last year and which the military is still in the process of phasing out M50s with front-line units in favor of the M32. However, some in the Department of War are considering replacing it with a weapon that fires conventional caseless projectiles bullets instead, several of which are already in the testing phase.

Currently we use an Indigenous assault rifle called the MRAW-5 which can be antiquated to be used in a typical assault rifle fashion, a squad automatic weapon, a close quarters combat rifle, or a designated marksmen rifle by simply switching out the barrel to fit the situation. The standard assault rifle barrel is 520mm long, the SAW barrel is the same length but is thicker adding some weight to the rifle, the CQB barrel is 375mm in length, and the DMR has a 640mm barrel. All these aren't are based around the same upper and lower receiver and use the same 6mm Lurra-Gipzipika round

Presently used rifles of the IGSDF

Image

The SRSS Bulldog 762 Gen-4 is currently the main service rifle of the Imperial Gristol-Serkonos Army, the Imperial Gristol-Serkonos Marines since 2010. The Imperial Territorial Army and the Foreign Legionary Forces are expected to use it by 2015.

The rifle uses a 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition firing at 700 RPM.

Image

One of the longest-used weapons of the IGSDF since its introduction in 1963, the Heckler and Koch G3 is the rifle presently used by the Imperial Territorial Army and the Foreign Legionary Forces. It was previously used by all branches of the military until 2010 when it was phased out in favour of the SRSS Bulldog 762 Gen-4.

Like its successor, the G3 uses 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition firing at 550 RPM.



Previously used rifles of the IGSDF

Image

Introduced in 1910 to the IGSDF, the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III was the standard front-line infantry rifle used during the Red Revolution and the Insurrections in Vâlcea. The rifle used .303 Mk VII SAA Ball ammunition.

It was the main rifle of the military until 1940 when the Ministry of Defence introduced the Kg m/21.

Image

A variant of the Browning Automatic Rifle, the Kg m/21 was the version built to suit to meet the needs of the IGSDF. It uses 7.62×63mm ammunition firing at 600 RPM.

It was used extensively from 1940 to 1963 when they introduced the Heckler and Koch G3.

The Mechanocracy Armed Forces use the AV-38m, a smoothbore cartridge-Gauss hybrid assault weapon that fires 6.8mm saboted flechette darts to ranges of 2.2 kilometres. Because powered armour effectively renders pure cartridge-based assault weapons obsolete (our standard issue can easily deflect 5.56x45mm NATO rounds), we opted for an electromagnetic kinetic energy firearm instead. However, since we already had loads of 6.8mm cartridges, intended for the pre-war Soviet AK-68 assault rifle, we decided to reuse them for both the AV-38 and the PKPM, incorporating modern flechette darts in the process. This creates a weapon that is deadly effective against armoured enemies, yet is cheap enough to be mass-produced. We adopt a "waste-not-want-not" principle as far as military hardware is concerned, which explains why other, older relics of our Soviet military past, such as the AKM assault rifle and UAZ-469 jeep are still in regular use, albeit having been retrofitted with modern technology.
