The War-Forged NR-13 mk 2 is the most famous in the line of weapons that has earned the title "War-Forged" and is also the only DMR on the list. Designed by Nachfolgian Arms Inc. in 1989, the NR-13 became an instant favorite among marksman deployed overseas.

From the deserts of Persian to the high mountains of Minroz, the NR-13 preformed exceptional in all environments, being virtually unable to jam and having high durability. Its indestructible design and ease of use made it a high buyer among the country's underground export business, being sold for 250,000 Reichsmarks per unit.

Two famous guns in Fatatatutti are the artillery pieces featured in the movies, Let the River Run and Whitewater Pirates. Both portray an event, which may be apocryphal, in which a young Lieutenant Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina and her platoon haul a pair of mountain howitzers across a raging river and up the side of a mountain. In Whitewater Pirates, the more humorous of the two, the guns are called Alphonse and Fish.

Astronea's most famous guns would probably be the "big three" traditionally, which consist of the TPS TSK battle rifle, the AM-64 assault rifle and KN-3 general-purpose machine gun. All three have seen surplus and modernized variants introduced and exported across the globe. More recently however, the flagship product of the ACC Small arms catalogue has been the AMW-280 modular assault rifle, firing the intermediate .280 ACC cartridge. The AMW-280 is produced domestically in several countries and is the primary service rifle of various military forces, including the Astronean Armed Forces.

Texas Industries has its origins in the merging of the defence manufacturing company Hall & Oates and Texas Instruments. Texas Industries had acquired manufacturing rights to the ACR rifle from Bushmaster before the company went bankrupt. It soon became the standard rifle of Nuevas Texas' military, police, and ranch owners. The ACR family of rifles includes carbines, DMRs, and even light machine guns. It's a jack of all trades, master of all.

Most guns in the Free Arabian Nation are/variants of already existing weapons, however, we have made several guns for our own use... our most famous one (or more accurately, infamous) gun is the Codename "Kuwait 20 Pounder".

It was supposed to be a handheld armour-piercing Anti-Tank gun able to shoot the driver and the gunner while leaving the rest of the tank unharmed so it can be salvaged. Around 200 were made and, as the name suggests, they only weighed around 20 pounds. However, the bullet itself was too heavy for any practical usage over 100 meters, and even within 100 meters, the gun jammed constantly due to a poor design choice within the firing pin.

Despite this, it was rushed into battle and its inefficiency was put into effect as statistics proved that for every one tank downed by the rifle, nearly 20 bullets were used, and of those 20 bullets only 10 fired.

In the end, the idea was abandoned and more practical anti-tank guns, such as self-propelled anti-tank guns and RPGs, became the staple for anti-tank warfare.

The RK2 rifle is the definitive Celean weapon.

Its development was ordered personally by the Grand Monarch after the Revolution to replace the surviving AK-47 -rifles. RK2 is a gas-operated 7,62x54R multipurpose rifle using the same operating mechanism as the AK-47 in a bullpup housing. The weapon was designed to be an assault rifle, light suppression weapon and a marksman rifle in one with a universal scope mount and a 100 round drum magazine developed for these roles.

RK2 is capable of semiautomatic and fully automatic fire with a rate of 720 rpm. It has an all-metal construction milled from high-quality steel, wooden handguards, integrated bipod, bayonet mount, flash hider and a scope mount. There is also a newer version with picatinny equipment rails. Biggest downsides of the weapon are its considerable weight, size and cost, which has kept it mostly unknown to foreigners.

Fàbrica Nacional Carabina model (19)79. FNC 79 marketed as Casals C5 to avoid confusion with the similar FN Herstal FNC. It was developed by Casals precision tools a subsidiary of the State Owned Taurus defensa in the mid 70s and built by Fàbrica Nacional Ripoll plant. They looked so similar that distinguishing them required being an expert. Being of similar size and shape. Being the major external difference that the Casals standard carbine it didn't have the capability of firing rifle grenades (in catalan service it could a have a M203 grenade launcher attached), it had a fixed stock variant (but only the folding one was adopted) and having a larger trigger guard to be used by the Mountain troops using gloves.
A2 version had a provision for using the Olympus 4x/1,5x sight and a chin suport.

It was designed as replacement of the licensed Catalan made FN FAL and the M16A1 (bought in small numbers for the Airborne units and the special forces) one of the requirements was to be more reliable than FAL and the M16 in dusty envirovements and cost the same or less than the M16.
It was designed for using the new SS-109 bullet. 5,56 NATO.
Internally it was quite different. The C5 took ideas of the AR18, M16, Rk62, Galil and AKM. Internally differed from the FNC for using a short stroke system instead of a long stroke one. It used STANAG magazines compatible with M16s ones. It received the M7 bayonet.

Image

The FNC 79/ C5. Had 4 firing positions S for Save, 1 for 1 Shot, 3 for burst of 3 and A full auto.

The export version could be barreled too for the .223 Remington and had a provision for using 22mm rifle grenade.

In 1979 the first 10000 were delivered to the 1st Airborne Brigade and the 2nd Mountain infantry Brigade and the 1st SAE troop. As C5 rifle It had shortened barrel version for the Special Forces. In 1980 after it became the standard issue rifle (with folding stock) until it's replacement by the HK 416 in 2016.
It was used by the peacekeeping forces in Somalia and ex-Yugoslavia, also in Afganistan and Irak along in the mid 2000s it was partially replaced by the HK Geys but after troops complains on G36s it was returned to active service.

The revolver that President Fish used in his spaghetti-fish-Western movies (A Fish Full of Dollars, Forty-two Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Duckling) is a Dance Brothers cap-and-ball model from the early 1860s, notable for its lack of recoil shields. It is part of Fish's personal collection and is rumored to have once belonged to Geronimo.

That would depend on what type of firearm.

Handgun? That would be either the Model 1003 or the Model 1075.
Submachine Gun? That would be either the Model 1022 or the Model 1058.
Shotgun? That would be either the Model 989, the Model 1024 or the Model 1090.
Battle Rifle? That would be the Model 994.
Assault Rifle? That would be either the Model 1055 or the Model 1085.
Light Machine Gun? That would be the Model 1034.

All-around, our most iconic gun would be either the Model 994 battle rifle (all-time) or the Model 1055 assault rifle (modern era).

Brazil never had a strong firearms industry, and tended to use foreign armament (American until the 1930 embargo, German until the 70s Chinese war, Russian and German since then). However, Brazil has produced a limited number of weapons:

Postby Zhouran » Sun Mar 15, 2020 12:43 am

The Zhouranese People's Army does not have a single 'main-service weapon' since they utilize a wide assortment of numerous 100% indigenous made-in-Zhouran firearms. Zhouranese firearms have been designed to be modular due to strong Zhouranese emphasis on adaptability and flexibility for fluid situations. The Zhouranese are aware that in order for soldiers to be in their peak performance, they must have access to the best arsenal possible since weaker weapons can bring down the potential performances of troops in the field.

Throughout the years, different Zhouranese assault rifles and battle rifles have been utilized as 'standard-service weapons', ranging from the Ningjing Type 62 7.62×39mm assault rifle, Ningjing Type 63 7.62×39mm assault rifle & Ningjing Type 62-200 7.62×54mm battle rifle, to the Ningjing Type 75 7.62×39mm assault rifle, Ningjing Type 82 5.45×39mm assault rifle & Ningjing Type 69-200 7.62×54mm battle rifle, to the Ningjing Type 01-100 7.62×39mm assault rifle, Ningjing Type 99-03 5.45×39mm assault rifle & Ningjing Type 77-04 7.62×54mm battle rifle, and the Ningjing Type 04-11 7.62×39mm assault rifle, Ningjing Type 09-100 5.45×39mm assault rifle & Ningjing Type 11 7.62×54mm battle rifle. Known widely for being reliability-oriented accuracy-friendly weapons that are fully-capable of operating in the harshest environmental conditions while being maintenance-friendly for troops especially in the battlefield, Zhouranese firearms are built rigorously to Zhouranese standards and are made to last for hundreds of years especially in the most austere situations. Various different rounds used by various Zhouranese firearm types ranging from pistols to assault rifles to battle rifles and ultimately to heavy machine guns are all made from brass casings. As a result, the numerous rounds utilized in Zhouran such as 7.62×39mm, 9×19mm, 5.45×39mm, 7.62×54mm, 12.7×108mm and 14.5×114mm are all built with brass casings due to their higher quality, superior chamber seal and more-malleable nature, thus resulting in reduced blowback into the chamber and the receiver. In comparison, cartridges made in other nations will sometimes or most of the times use cheaper-but-inferior steel casings instead.

Since late 1861, Zhouran has a gun culture that is influenced by the nation's passionate and intense warrior culture, which was created in 7 BC during the birth of the Silin Dynasty, as well as the long tradition of militarism in the nation and the long-standing practice of keeping weapons at home in order to be armed, well-trained and prepared. Firearms are owned for purposes including self-defense, hunting, sport, collecting, and military purposes. Sport-shooting and hunting are popular activities for both gun-owners and non-gun-owners in Zhouran.

Within Zhouranese society there is a strong emphasis towards the idea of soldiers being a 'rifleman'. While handguns are seen as the equivalent to the traditional ayanjiazhan knife/daggers, rifles on the other hand are seen as the as equivalent to the traditional ayanjiamu (one-handed)/ayanjiamujuela (two-handed) swords of ancient and medieval times. As a result, any Zhouranese soldier and gun-owner would treat a rifle the same way a warrior would treat a sword. Within Zhouranese society, an individual is expected be a rifleman if they are highly-proficient in marksmanship, thus one must accurately hit man-sized targets at distances ranging from five-hundred meters to one kilometer with high precision using only the iron-sights of a rifle and achieving a 90% first-round hit. Thus, similar to how ancient and medieval Zhouranese warriors were widely known for their highly-impressive rigorous swordsmanship, Zhouranese riflemen are well-known for being highly-skilled sharpshooters capable of eliminating their foes at extreme distances with extreme accuracy.

Famous Nevadaian Guns

Postby Nevadaia » Tue Mar 17, 2020 3:41 pm

Nevadaia created the 2079 riot shotgun a riot shotgun equipped to our police force, with our state of the art Desert Ranger gear . The weapon has a custom stock, with a golden eagle on it. The barrel has a suppressor.

Another Famous Nevadaian Weapon was the Sierra Nevada Revolver. Produced by the “Silver Rush” in 2109. This unique revolver is a famous weapon. And it is the state mandated weapon all citizens get at age 16. It is like a Le-Mate revolver but much more sustainable and fancier.

K-507 “EagleEye”- .50 Caliber, semi auto firearm sniper rifle. It has a ten round magazine and a scope with very fine crosshairs for maximum accuracy. It has been in service for years with no change, because nobody can find a reliable way to improve it. It has two types of ammunition, armor piercing rounds and explosive rounds. It has a theoretical range of over 5,000 meters, but the longest successful shot ever made was by our current leader, Rang Orar at 4,307 meters.
