Musket?!! Good grief, I hope you don't field that anymore, besides, by looking closely at the gun, I've noticed that lock (that curvy thing above the trigger) looks like that of a percussion cap rifle-musket instead of a flintlock musket.

THIS is a flintlock:


And here's a percussion cap rifle-musket just for clarification:


Thanks, I knew it wasn't a flintlock i just didn't know the name of that type so I just put that.

(Borrowed from the other weapons thread)

The main assault rifle of the NUS military is the M16 and its derivative, the M4 carbine:

Image
M16A4

Image
M4A1

Though they're replaced in Special Forces use by the FN SCAR:

Image

And the HK416:

Image

And it's hoped that the M16 would be replaced by 2045 by the M18, or the Bushmaster ACR basically:

Image

Concerning submachine guns, the MP5 is employed:

Image

Although, it's being replaced by the UMP:

Image

And concerning pistols, the trusty M9 is used:

Image

However, it's scheduled to be replaced by the Sig-Sauer P220, or the M20 as it's designated:

The Bristol DM-400 Multipurpose Assault Rifle

Basic Information
Weight: 8.2 lb
Length: 44.901 in
Barrel Length: 24 in
Cartridge: 5.56x45mm NATO
Action: Gas Operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 775-975 rounds/m
Muzzle velocity: 3,975 ft/s
Effective Range: 590-925 m
Sights: Scope, red dot, rear aperture
Feed system: Various STANAG magazines


The DM-400 is a top-of-the-line assault rifle, used by the Royal Orlkjestadi Armed Forces since 1987. It is known for its reliability and versatility.

It is equipped with red dot, a scope, a flashlight, flash and sound suppressor, and on occasion, a grenade launcher or bayonet. The gun has a hardened butt, in the case of melee combat using the gun, and has a rather high rate of firing and effective range, at least for an assault rifle.

The gun remains a modern marvel to this day, and is envied by many.

For a redux.

The United States Army utilizes the M-14 Battlerifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield as it's main battlerifle. [It does not deploy assault rifles]

The United States Army utilizes the 1903 Springfield chambered in .30-06 Springfield as it's mid-range Sniper Rifle

The United States Army utilizes the R-35 Sniper Rifle designed by Satirius also chambered in .30-06 Springfield as it's long range sniper rifle/counter sniper.

The United States Army Special Forces and Airborne Divisions utilize the M-2 fully automatic Carbine chambered in .45 ACP as their main assault-carbine.

The United States Army National Guard utilizes the M-1 Garand chambered in you guessed it; .30-06 Springfield as their main battlerifle.

The United States Maritime Rangers utilize the M-14 Battle Rifle chambered in yet again; .30-06 Springfield as their main battle rifle.

The United States Air Force utilize the H&K MP-5 chambered in .45 ACP as the premier submarinegun/PDW of United States Pilots.

The United States Navy utilizes the M-2 Carbine chambered in .45 ACP as their premier assault-carbine.

Oh; all branches of ground/maritime infantry also still use a Rifle Bayonet.

Which about wraps it up for the second time; no pictures this time round.

Yeah, pretty much, the 5.56 mm isn't very powerful, besides, the .30-06 is aerodynamically shaped in a particular way, reducing drag and allowing it to streak further than any other bullet of its type at the time.

I know that, but they're supposed to be self-reliant/independant of the world. And because of their isolation in their universe NATO never formed without their driving force, thus, Springfield is still the main armament manufacture for the United States.

Rehashed and updated:

The standard combat rifle of the Royal Radictistan Army is the AK-103.

Special Operations forces utilize a couple different weapons depending on the mission profile. The AK-107 is commonly used, as is the FA-35 in both the full-sized M and shortened MB variant. For amphibious operations, the ADS dual-caliber rifle is sometimes used.

Rear-echelon forces use the AK-105, although some reserve units still carry the older AKS-74U PDW.
