The UAF-18 is a selective fire, bullpup, automatic rifle chambered for the newly developed 6.5x45mm Ionician telescopic round. The UAF-18 features a high level of firepower in a compact form factor, fully ambidextrous controls, and advanced firearm construction technologies.

Although it has been a hallmark of Ionician service rifles to be modular, the UAF-18 has broken away from this trend as combines the features of a carbine, assault rifle, and squad automatic weapon into one form. With its stock fully retracted, the UAF-18 measures only 26 inches (665mm) long, shorter than a standard M4 carbine used by the United States Armed Forces. Whilst keeping this short length, the UAF-18 is equipped with a 500mm barrel, just 8mm shorter than a fully sized M16 assault rifle and only 21mm shorter than the 21-inch barrel of an M249 SAW. Lastly, the UAF-18’s high capacity 50 round magazine provides 20 more rounds than the standard 30 round magazines used by most assault rifles, increasing the operator’s ability to create suppressive fire.

Image
Mechanized warfare necessitates the need for a compact weapon capable of delivering high levels of firepower. Typically these needs are met by equipping infantry squads with a combination of assault rifles and squad automatic weapons. This method is not without drawbacks, however. Assault rifles, though typically compact and easy to handle in the limited space of an armored fighting vehicle, lack higher levels of firepower. Squad automatic weapons, such as the M249 SAW, provide high levels of firepower, but it’s main drawback is the weapon’s bulk and high weight.

In 2010, the Ionician Armed Forces began experimenting with ways to create a lighter and more compact weapons system to replace the M249 at a squad level. Development initially centered around the new 6.5x45mm telescoped round which provides 35% weight reduction savings while simultaneously increasing lethality by up to 30% [1]. Equipping the M249 with lighter munitions, however, would not address the issues associated with the bulk and weight of the M249. In 2014, a new platform was created, officially designated the the universala aŭtomata fusilo (UAF) or universal automatic rifle. The new platform offered the firepower of a squad automatic weapon in the size of an assault carbine. Over the next four years the platform, officially designated ekUAF-1 was tested and refined based on field trials and user input. In late 2018, the ekUAF-1 was officially adopted by the Ionician Department of Defense and given the new designation UAF-18.

Image
The UAF-18 uses the bullpup configuration, wherein the receiver, bolt carrier group, and magazine are located behind the grip, giving the weapon a shorter length while still having a long barrel length. The UAF-18 uses the newly developed 6.5x45mm Ionician telescopic round, which provides greater muzzle velocity and reduced weight.
Image

The UAF-18 operates on the long stroke, gas operated rotating bolt system. This system is used by several weapons with a reputation for reliability such as the AK-47, M1 Garand, and the TAR-21. This operating system was chosen for it’s high reliability and lowered maintenance requirements. Spent shell casings are ejected from the bottom of the weapon.

The compact size and low weight of the UAF-18 make it useful not only to infantrymen, but to personnel such as vehicle crews, logistics support staff, and others. These characteristics also make it an ideal choice for close quarters combat.

The frame of the UAF-18 is constructed of high strength nylon polymers. This material is used in the construction of nearly every modern firearm and has a proven record for being durable and lightweight. The internal mechanisms are made of a high-strength, steel-titanium alloy to promote reliability and minimize maintenance requirements. The UAF-18s cold-hammer forged, chromium lined, polygonal rifled barrel increases accuracy, increases muzzle velocity and increases the amount of rounds that can be fired before the weapon is required to be serviced. The magazine is built from a polymer material and is transparent, allowing the operator to see how many rounds are left in the magazine.

Picatinny rails are located above the grip (for gun sights) and on either side of the front end of the weapon (for laser sights, bayonets, etc.). The rails are made from the same steel-titanium alloy used in the internal components of the UAF-18.

The UAF-18 is shipped standard with the PBPV-3 electro-optical, variable zoom gunsight and the removable carrying handle. Details on the PBPV-3 can be found here.

Image
The UAF-18 was designed for its usage to come naturally to the operator. The ergonomic grips on the weapon invite the user to hold the weapon in a manner that promotes accuracy and a steady grip. All the controls for the weapon are located on both sides, allowing for ready ambidextrous use. The spent shell casings fall from the bottom of the weapon, preventing hot shell casings from into the shooter’s line of sight on to the shooter, or persons standing nearby. The safety switch, fire selector switch, and magazine release button are all able to be activated without the shooter removing his hand from the grip. The stock and cheek rest can both be adjusted to a user’s individual comforts using controls located at the rear of the weapon.

The UAF-18 is reloaded by first pressing the magazine release button located above the fire selector switch. Pressing this switch will release the magazine and eject it slightly forwards where it can be slid forwards and out of the weapon. A new magazine is then inserted and slid towards the rear of the gun until it clicks in place. The bolt stays locked in the back position when the last round is fired, and once moved to the forwards position, the UAF-18 will be ready to fire again.

Disassembly of the UAF-18 can be done quickly and easily. The UAF-18 is held together using single sized, high-strength, slotted, titanium screws. The stock of the UAF-18 contains a compartment where two matching screwdrivers are stored. When disassembled, the UAF-18 separates into four major components: the barrel, the hammer module, the moving parts module, and the frame.

Controls

Trigger
The UAF-18 is equipped with a dual stage trigger constructed of a titanium alloy. The trigger is activated by pulling it towards the rear of the weapon. The trigger cannot be pulled back when the weapon is in the safety position. When the trigger is in the semi-automatic or three round burst position, the trigger can only be pulled back to the halfway position. Under the fully automatic position, the UAF-18 will deliver a single round at the halfway position and then fully automatic fire once the trigger is fully depressed.


Safety switch
The safety switch is a push button located directly above the trigger and marked with an [ X ] etched into the side of the weapon. In the safe position, the trigger is locked and cannot be pulled back; in this position the button is fully depressed on the left side and extended out on the right side. Pushing the button in so that it is flush with the right side of the weapon will put the weapon into fire mode. The left side of the button, which is exposed when the weapon is ready to fire, is painted red to show that the weapon is ready to be fired.

Fire selector switch
The fire selector switch is located to above and behind the trigger. The fire selector switch is a notched disk and can be rotated forwards and backwards from either side of the weapon. Positioning the notch in the rearwards most position places the weapon in semi-automatic mode meaning the weapon will fire one round each time the trigger is depressed; in this position the trigger can only be pulled back halfway. The semi-automatic firing position is indicated with a single vertical line etched into both sides of the gun.

Rotating the fire selector switch forwards until the notch is aligned with the second position, marked with three vertical lines will put the weapon into the three round burst firing mode. The weapon will fire three rounds each time the trigger is pulled when the weapon is in this firing mode. In this position the trigger can only be pulled back halfway.

Rotating the fire selector disk to its forwards most position will unlock the trigger so that it may be fully depressed and will allow the weapon to fire in fully automatic mode. When the UAF-18’s fire selector switch is in the position, if the trigger is only pulled to the halfway position, only a single round will fire. The trigger will need to be fully depressed in order for the UAF-18 to fire in fully automatic bursts.

Charging Handle
The charging handle is located above the UAF-18’s foregrip. The charging handle is shaped to include a slight notch for easy grip. The charging handle locks in the rear/open position after the last round in a magazine is fired for faster reloading.

Magazine Release
The UAF-18’s magazine release is located above the fire selector switch and safety switch. The magazine release button can be pressed by the operator’s trigger finger without removing their hand from the weapon’s grip. The magazine release button is present on both sides of the weapon. Pressing this switch will release the magazine and eject it slightly forwards where it can be slid forwards and out of the weapon.

Adjustable Stock / Adjustable Cheek Rest
Two push buttons are located on either side of the UAF-18 for adjusting the stock and cheek rest components. The lower button, as indicated with a horizontal arrow, allows for the stock to be expanded or contracted. The upper button, as indicated with a vertical arrow, allows for the cheek rest to be raised or lowered to the operator’s preference.

The FDSE-16 is a selective fire assault rifle chambered in the Ionician 6.5x45mm telescopic round. The FDSE-16 is created from lightweight, high strength composite materials and features full ambidextrous operations and modular components.

The FDSE-16 was created to fulfill the needs of militaries abroad, rather than the needs of the Ionician military. The FDSE-16 combines a conventional layout (as opposed to the bullpup design used in most TALON manufactured weapons) with the reliable and ergonomic design features TALON is known for. The 6.5x45mm telescopic round provides reduced weight while simultaneously increasing lethality. The FDSE-16 is able to be configured into a number of varieties to suit each missions requirements. The four configurations are: the standard assault rifle, the grenadier rifle with the 40mm L-8/16 guided grenade launcher, the designated marksman rifle with a longer and heavier barrel, and the automatic rifle with the heavy barrel and 100 round drum magazine.

Image
The FDSE-16 operates on the gas operated, rotating bolt platform shared by nearly every modern assault rifle. The reduce weight, increase strength, and lower manufacturing costs, the FDSE-16 uses a nylon composite material for the external components of the rifle. Internals are constructed of a high grade steel alloy with chromium used to prevent corrosion and minimize maintenance requirements. The FDSE-16 can be used by both right-handed and left-handed operators requiring only partial disassembly to convert the weapon.

The FDSE-16 is chambered for the 6.5x45mm Ionician telescopic round which significantly reduces weight and increases the bullet velocity. Picatinny rails for mounting optics and other equipment are present on the top of the weapon and under the barrel of the foregrip. The same recoil absorbing, adjustable stock mechanism used by the UAF-18 is present on the FDSE-16 to increase accuracy and allow for easier use by a wide variety of soldiers.

Image
The FDSE-16 offers the same ergonomic and intuitive features that have made TALON popular with so many nations across the world.

Disassembly of the FDSE-16 can be done quickly and easily. The FDSE-16 is held together using single sized, high-strength, slotted, titanium screws. The stock of the FDSE-16 contains a compartment where two matching screwdrivers are stored.

Showcasing the latest in firearm design, the FDS-10 offers significant advantages to other assault rifles in its class. Reduced weight, ergonomic design, and modular components. The compact and reliable FDS-10 is capable of mounting a wide variety of optics and accessories, making ready for both today and tomorrow's battlefield.

The FDS-10 ships standard with the revolutionary PBPV-3 electro-optical combat gunsight; combining a traditional 1x-4x variable optical zoom scope with a laser range finder and ammo counter. The TALON PBPV-3 gunsight is compatible with the L-8 smart grenade launcher, giving infantrymen the capability to fire both guided and unguided 40mm grenades with deadly precision at far greater ranges than other weapons systems.


Image
The advantages of the FDS-10 modular assault weapon begin with the internals. The internals of the weapon are constructed entirely of a corrosion-resistant, steel-based alloy to promote both reliability and accuracy. The precision machined internal components have been proven to operate reliably in a wide variety of environments, from sandy deserts to sub zero arctic environments. The FDS-10's cold-hammer forged, chromium lined, polygonal rifled barrel increases accuracy, increases muzzle velocity and increases the amount of rounds that can be fired before the weapon is required to be serviced.

The externals of the weapon are constructed primarily of a nylon polymer composite material and high-grade aluminum. This choice of materials ensures the weapon is lightweight, but sturdy as well. Indeed, one of the most frequent comments of those introduced to the FDS-10 is the solid feel of the weapon.

Modular in nature, the FDS-10 can be quickly adapted for usage in various situations. Held together by push-pins, the weapon can be completely disassembled without the use of tools. Once disassembled, the user can switch out foregrips, barrels, or convert the weapon from right-handed to left-handed or vice versa. Currently, TALON Arms currently manufactures a 420mm barrel for use with the standard foregrip and a 608mm heavy barrel for use with the light machine gun foregrip/bipod assembly.

The magazine release is located on both sides of the weapon, as is the fire selector switch to allow for ambidextrous use. The charging handle can be set towards either the left or right side, following partial disassembly. The large picatinny rail on the top of the weapon allows for the mounting of various sights and other accessories. The rails on the sides of the weapon can be used for laser pointers and IR illumination, as well as any other accessory.

MRV-20 Multi-Round Combat Weapon

Postby Ionicus » Sat Dec 14, 2019 1:36 pm

Image
MRV-20 with PBPV-3 gunsight and LV-20 laser guidance system


Image
Weight: 3.9 kg (8.5 lb)
Length: 720mm (28.3 in)
Barrel Length: 420 mm (16.5 in), 508mm (20 in)
Caliber: 25x40mm
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: Fully automatic at 60 rounds / min, Semiautomatic
Muzzle velocity: 310 m/s (1,000 ft/s)
Effective range: 1,000m (3,280 ft)
Feed System: Removable 12 round drum magazine
Sights: Talon Arms ACGS, flip-up iron sights, picatinny rail for additional sights
Price: 1,800 NSD


Image
The MRV-20 is designed to fill a number of combat roles not met by a standard infantryman equipped with an assault rifle and a 40mm grenade launcher. The primary use of the MRV-20 is as a rapid fire, airburst grenade launcher; used in clearing enemy personnel located behind cover in a high precision manner which minimizes collateral damage. In addition to firing high-explosive air burst fragmentation rounds, the MRV-20 is also capable of firing flechette rounds, incendiary rounds, thermobaric rounds, armor piercing rounds, door clearing rounds, chemical rounds, and non-lethal rounds.

The lightweight and easy to carry design of the weapon gives it significant advantages over its competitors. The most common issue faced with other weapons in the MRBV-20s class is their weight and cumbersomeness. The MRBA-08 is only marginally heavier and larger than the FDS-10 assault rifle, due to its bullpup design and lightweight materials.

The MRV-20 was created using the same exterior components as the UAF-18 assault rifle. This greatly reduces training time as all the basic controls are located in the same position. Maintenance costs are also reduced, as all exterior parts can be quickly replaced with any exterior components of the FDS-10, should they become damaged or worn out.


Image
The MRV-20 is constructed from titanium and steel composite alloy internals and lightweight nylon composite externals. The internals of the weapon have been coated with chromium to prevent corrosion. Keeping the weight at a minimum, such that a soldier can carry a secondary weapon without being over encumbered, was one of the primary design objectives of the weapon. Advanced testing in all climates was used to refine the weapon's design such that in can be used anywhere without jamming or requiring large amounts of maintenance.

Like the UAF-18, the MRV-20 is held together by push pins, meaning that the weapon can be disassembled without using any tools. Field stripping the weapon can be accomplished in a short amount of time and in a manner almost identical to to the UAF-18. The MRV-20 can also be equipped with a 508mm long barrel (to be used with the longer, bipod integrated foregrip), so that it can be used as a heavier support weapon.

The MRV-20 comes standard with the PBPV-3 and LV-20 which were designed to be used with smart grenade launchers. The PBPV-3 integrates a laser range finder, ballistic calculator, environmental sensor, an electronic compass and an ammo counter with a traditional 1x-4x optical sight.

The 25x40mm round has proved to be extremely versatile with many different adaptations. The most commonly used round is the high explosive airburst fragmentation round, used to eliminate enemy forces behind cover or in foxholes. The 25x60mm round has also been modified into a shotgun round with similar characteristics of a 12 gauge round, making the MRBA-08 a popular choice for use as a combat shotgun. Additional munitions options include flechette rounds, thermite incendiary rounds, thermobaric concussive rounds, armor piercing rounds (100mm steel penetration), door clearing rounds, lethal and non-lethal chemical rounds, and non-lethal rubber rounds.

Length: 420mm (16.5 in) with stock fully collapsed
Barrel Length: 180 mm (7.1 in)
Caliber: 5x30mm
Action: Gas operated, short-stroke piston, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: 1000 rounds / minute, three round burst, semiautomatic
Muzzle velocity: 1300 m/s (4,265 ft /s)
Effective range: 300m (984 ft /s)
Feed System: 20, 30, or 50 round box magazine
Sights: TALON red dot sight, flip-up iron sights, picatinny rail for additional sights
Price: 1,000 NSD

Image
Combining compact dimensions, lightweight polymer construction, high-reliability components and deadly firepower, it's no wonder why the M-99 submachine gun has seen action in several conflicts around the world since its introduction into the Ionician Armed Forces in 1999. Initially designed as a sidearm for the vehicle crews, the M-99 has also proven popular with grenadiers, special operators, marksman, and anti-vehicle infantrymen.


Image
To ensure maximum reliability, the internals of the M-99 are constructed with a mix of precision machined titanium and steel alloys. Exterior components of the M-99 are made from a nylon-based polymer which gives the weapon unparalleled durability while keeping the weapon's weight to an absolute minimum. The cold-hammer forged, chromium lined, polygonal rifled barrel maximizes accuracy, muzzle velocity, and the amount of rounds that can be fired before the weapon is required to be serviced. Advanced testing in all climates was used to refine the weapon's design such that in can be used anywhere without jamming or requiring large amounts of service.

As with all weapons systems offered by TALON National Arms Corporation, ergonomics take a high priority in the design. The weapon has a fire selector, bolt catch lever and magazine release on both sides and the ejection port can be changed to either the left-hand or right-hand side following partial disassembly. The large picatinny rail on the top of the M-99 allows for the fitment of various optics and other mission equipment as needed. A suppressor attachment is available for purchase on request.

The 5x30mm round used by the M-99 was specifically designed to penetrate body armor, while also keeping a low weight and low recoil profile. The 9x19mm round, commonly used in pistols and submachine guns can not readily penetrate high quality body armor systems. TALON National Arms Corp. recommends the use of high velocity, hardened steel rounds to ensure the rounds are able to maintain their ability to penetrate body armor systems.

CDF-76 Civil Defense Rifle

Postby Ionicus » Fri Dec 20, 2019 1:39 pm

Image
CDF-76 with 4x telescopic sight (not included) and BT-89 bayonet


Image
Weight: 4.0 kg (8.8 lb)
Length: 1,120mm (44.1 inches)
Barrel Length: 560mm (22 inches)
Caliber: 7.62x51mm (.308)
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Rate of fire: Semi-automatic
Muzzle velocity: 850 m/s (2,800 ft/s)
Effective range: 875m, (2,870 ft)
Feed System: Removable 22 round box magazine
Sights: Iron sights (aperture type), picatinny rail for additional sights
Price: 600 NSD


Image
Created to serve as a low cost, easy to use, and robust weapon for civilian defense units, the CDF-76 has served the needs of the Ionician National Defense Force for over 40 years. Beginning in the early 1960s the Ionician Civil Defense Force, in cooperation with the Army's Corp of Engineers and the National Department of Construction, began the process of fortifying the islands of Ionicus. In addition the implementation of massive underground fallout shelters and other defensive structures, the Civil Defense Force began training civilians to use the standard issue FDS-47 assault rifle. In the following months it became clear that a new rifle would need to be developed. Although the FDS-47 proved incredibly reliable, its accuracy and ease of use by civilians were criticized. Additionally politicians began to show concerns about the widespread proliferation of military grade, fully automatic weapons.

In 1976 the CDF-76 was introduced by TALON National Arms Corporation to face the shortcomings of the FDS-76 in a civil defense role. The new CDF-76 was easier to use, having streamlined features and having the ability to be used for left or right handed shooters. The CDF-76 is capable only of being operated in a semi-automatic firing role to curb the concerns of widespread fully automatic gun ownership. The lengthened barrel of the CDF-76 showed marked accuracy improvements over the FDS-47.

Image
Constructed using a mix of birch wood and stamped steel components, the CDF-76's choice of materials greatly reduces associated manufacture costs. The solid birch stock of the CDF-76 is sealed in a special coating to prevent the stock from deforming in wet climates. The barrel of the CDF-76 is lined with chromium to reduce the amount of cleanings and the reliability of the weapon. Over its use during the past 40 years, the CFD-76 has shown a great tolerance to a wide variety of climates. The northern portions of Ionicus consist of a dry and sandy desert while the southern portions consist of a frigid tundra; flawless operations in these areas were an initial design requirement.

The 22 round box magazine provides ample ammunition capacity for the civilian shooter. The 7.62x51mm round has been used by several battle rifles and designated marksmen rifles and is highly effective at penetrating lower quality body armor systems (up to level II protection).

Sights: BV-17 Electro-optical sight
Price: 9,500 NSD

Image
The ultimate in high accuracy rifles, the AMF-17 pushes engineering and design technology to its limits to create the most accurate and advanced anti-material rifle on the market today. The key to the AMF-17's high accuracy is the BV-17 electro-optical sight. The BV-17 electro-optical sight combines a traditional 5-25x optical scope with an electronic ballistics calculator. The user of the scope simply designates the target with a laser and the scope calculates the exact ballistic trajectory based on range, atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity, windage, barometric pressure), shooting angle, and round ballistic data. The BV-17 displays a reticle where the shooter needs to aim to hit the target.

Image
The internals of the AMF-17 are constructed almost entirely of titanium, with the exception of the barrel which is comprised of chromium-lined cold hammer forged barrel—a standard feature on all of TALON Arms Corp. new small arms series. The externals of the weapon are comprised primarily of a nylon polymer composite material, with steel allow components being used for various components throughout the upper and lower receiver. After firing the barrel recoils inward to absorb the large amount of recoil produced by the 12.7x99mm BMG round. The muzzle break and special designed buttstock of the AMF-17 further reduce the recoil felt by the shooter.

The bullpup design gives the AMF-17 decreased weight and overall length, affording the user the ability to carry a high powered sidearm, such as the M-99 Personal Defense Weapon (PDW). The AMF-17 is fitted with gratuitous picatinny rails for mounting various mission equipment and optics. The forestock of the AMF-17 is fitted with a removable bipod for increased accuracy. The entirety of the AMF-17 is held together with push pins, allowing for field disassembly without the use of any tools.

P-06 Pistol

Postby Ionicus » Fri Dec 20, 2019 1:43 pm

Image
P-06 with laser sight



Image
Weight: 0.6 kg (1.3 lb)
Length: 160mm (6.3 in)
Barrel Length: 90 mm (3.5 in)
Caliber: 5x30mm
Action: Short recoil operated, locked breech
Rate of fire: Semi-automatic
Muzzle velocity: 762 m/s (2,500 ft/s)
Effective range: 50m (165 ft)
Feed System: 15 round double stack standard magazine, 25 round double stack extended magazine
Sights: Triangular, tritium illuminated pistol sight
Price: 350 NSD


Image
The development of the P-06 is closely intertwined with that of the M-99 personal defense weapon. The small and lightweight 5x30mm round, created for the M-99, would prove easy to carry over to a handgun platform. The 5x30mm round provides excellent armor piercing abilities in a low recoil and low weight package. Although the earliest iterations of the P-06 would appear in the early 2000s, the weapon was placed on hiatus until 2005 when work on the P-06 resumed. During field trials the weapon was often praised for its light weight, easy handling, and ergonomic design. In 2006, the P-06 became the official sidearm of the entire Ionician Armed Forces.

Image
As is to be expected with a sidearm, and every weapon manufactured by TALON National Arms Corp., reliability is paramount in the design. The internal firing mechanisms are made from a steel-based alloy created to promote reliability and accuracy without making the P-06 too heavy. As is standard on all small arms offered by TALON, the P-06 is equipped with a cold-hammer forged, chromium lined, polygonal barrel.

The frame of the P-06 is constructed of a nylon polymer composite material, similar to that used by the Glock line of pistols. The nylon polymer offers several advantages over the traditional steel construction of a pistol. In addition to being greatly lighter, the nylon polymer used in the P-06 outperform steel in strength tests. The nylon polymer composite is also less prone to temperature deformation and won't become as brittle under cold weather conditions. The P-06's frame is more resistant to corrosion than steel as well, moisture, salt water, and corrosive liquids have markedly less effect on the non-reactive surface of the weapon.

The magazine release button is located beneath the trigger, easily accessible to the operator. Above the trigger is a simple sliding safety switch, moved forwards places the weapon into fire mode. A removable red laser sight is include with the purchase of the P-06. The laser sight can be removed from the forwards picatinny rail and replace with other accessories.

Image
In 1996, the Ionician Technate's Department of Defense began development on what would become the GCL-00. The Department of Defense laid forth it's initial design requirements for a man-portable, "one size fits all" style missile launcher capable of firing a variety of guided missiles from a single launcher to replace the M72 LAW and FIM-92 Stinger missiles in use at the time. In 1997 a preliminary design was selected, created in cooperation by the Universal Computing Corporation and the Aleĉjo Arms Design Bureau. During the following years the prototype weapon system was tested and developed, before officially becoming part of the Ionican Technate's armament in March 2000. The GCL-00 was originally offered with 80mm incendiary missiles, 125mm anti-tank missiles, 125mm anti-aircraft missiles and 80/125mm high explosive missiles. In 2004 80mm chemical missiles and 80mm airburst fragmentation missiles were developed for use with the GCL-00.

Image
The GCL-00 launcher consists of three main components. The launcher itself, the Command Launch Unit or CLU, and the internal sleeve which holds the missiles.

The launcher is constructed of a fiberglass material which provides the weapon with a high level of durability while maintain a low weight level to keep the weapon easily carried by a standard infantry unit. The launcher also contains the data port for connecting the CLU to the launcher, as well as housing the integrated laser designator system. The underside of the launcher has a foam pad to keep the operator comfortable when shouldering the weapon for long periods of time.

The CLU, manufactured by the Universal Computing Corporation, is a fully weatherproofed targeting computer created for use with the GCL-00. The unit connects to the side of the launcher using 4 thumb screws. The CLU allows for targeting in any weather conditions and is night vision compatible. Use of laser guided missiles and the CLU result in a point target hit rate over 90% to distances under 1 kilometer.

There are two types of missile sleeves available for the GCL-00, one which holds four 80mm missiles and another which holds one 125mm missile.

Ballistic Armor (Non-Vital Plates): Aramid (KEVLAR) composite material

[Price]
See Pricing

Image
Body armor has been standard equipment for the Ionician Armed Forces since the early 1950s with its introduction of the BK-1 Combat Armor, a basic steel cuirass designed to protect the wearer's vital organs from shrapnel and small caliber bullets. The signature body armor worn by Ionician infantrymen eventually lead to them being called kavaliroj, Esperanto for "knights". Today, the Ionician Combat Armor has evolved into a lightweight, high protection, and high mobility system capable of protecting the wearer from a variety of threats. The BK-4 Combat Armor System is divided into three layers: the microclimate system which keeps users cool or warm in extreme climates, the flame resistant uniform constructed of a breathable yet waterproof material, the ballistic protection layer which provides the highest level of protection to vital organs and protects the user's limbs from shrapnel and small caliber firearms, and an integrated electronics system providing command and control, navigation, and biofeedback systems.

Image
Development on the BK-4 Combat Armor System began in 2001, when the Ionician Department of Defense requisitioned for the development of the BK-3 Combat Armor dating back to 1978. Advances in technology had began to make it possible for a higher strength and lightweight protection system for infantrymen. In 2005 initial prototypes were ready for testing and small scale issuances to soldiers in the field. The prototype system were generally well-received as an improvement above the BK-3, but like most body armor systems it was still uncomfortable to wear in hot climates. During this time the Ionician Department of Defense also began development on the SBKM program, the application of wearable computers for infantrymen.

In 2008, the SBKM program was concluded and an individual soldier based computer system was integrated into the BK-4 developmental program. The addition of a high capacity battery for running electronics to the combat armor also allowed for the implementation of a microclimate control system to provide heating and cooling into the BK-4. The microclimate layer uses tubing filled with liquid circulated across the body that can be heated or cooled. In March of 2010, the BK-4 development program finished and was approved for general issue to all soldiers.

Image
[Microclimate Layer]
[Flame Resistant Uniform]
[Ballistic Protection Layer]
[Electronics Sub System]

Microclimate Layer
The base layer of the BK-4 is its undergarments. Made from a cotton/poly blend, the compression undergarments provide moisture wicking properties to keep soldiers comfortable while wearing them. The undergarments are also treated with an antimicrobial material to improve field hygiene.

The microclimate layer is constructed of flexible polyethylene tubing integrated into the fabric of the BK-4's undergarments. The tubes are arranged such that they overlay major arteries in the body to allow for the most efficient regulation of body temperature. Propylene glycol is circulated through pumps and heated and cooled using a solid state thermoelectric heat pump, known as a peltier plate. Depending on the polarity of the incoming electricity, the peltier plates can either heat or warm the liquid. A similar system is used by cosmonauts to regulate their body temperature in space. The system is controlled by the wrist mounted computer included in the Electronics Sub System.

Heat stress is an important, but often overlooked issue faced by many soldiers. Scientific studies conducted by the Ionician Department of Defense's Research and Development Agency, and other major research institutions such as the United State's National Aeronautics and Space Administration have consistently shown that higher body temperatures lead to increased fatigue, slower reaction times, less focus, and lower physical performance. At the extreme, high body temperatures can induce a casualty, tying up medical personnel with a preventable medical issue. The inclusion of a microclimate control system was not merely one of comfort but with true performance benefits.

Flame Resistant Uniform
Above the microclimate/undergarments layer is the flame resistant uniform. The uniform is constructed of a breathable and waterproof proprietary material similar to Gore-Tex. The uniform provides fire resistance to protect soldiers from incendiary weapons and vehicle fires. As most Ionician infantrymen operate out of a vehicle this was a necessary inclusion. The uniform was developed by leading Ionician physiologists to ensure a full range of motion for its wearers. The purchase of the flame resistant uniform includes summer and winter varieties, with the winter variety including insulation for use in cold weather.

The uniform shirt includes two angled pockets on the chest for easy access secured by hook-and-loop (Velco) material. There are also hook-and-loop fabric on the front and back of the uniform for the attachment of name, rank, badges, and identification tabs. The extended neck of the uniform shirt provides extra comfort and protection when wearing body armor.

The uniform pants have 6 pockets and integrated kevlar composite knee pads cushioned to prevent knee injury and strong enough to provide ballistic protection.

Ballistic Protection Layer
NOTE: To view an explanation of body armor protection levels, please click here

The ballistic protection layer consists of three main components, the BK-4K Helmet, the Vital Plates that protect the torso, and the Non-Vital Plates which protect the limbs.

BK-4K Helmet
The BK-4K Helmet is constructed of a high grade aramid (Kevlar) composite material providing Level III (7.62x51mm NATO) protection. The shape of the helmet allows for high situational awareness and visibility as well as wearer comfort. The helmet shape is also designed to fit the integrated communications system included in the full BK-4 Combat Armor System. The interior of the helmet is equipped with foam cushions to protect from ballistic impacts. The low profile adjustable straps ensure snug fitment and are situated so that they do not interfere with the rest of the armor system. The shell of the helmet is coated with an inert waterproof material which protects the material from sweat, oils, solvents, and chemical warfare agents. Mounting rails for night vision equipment and flashlights or other mission equipment are present on the front and sides of the helmet.

Each order of the BK-4K helmet also includes the removable ballistic mandible and ballistic visor. The ballistic mandible/visor provides Level II (9x18mm FMJ) to the full frontal region of the wearer's head, a vital region left unprotected by most helmets.

Vital Plates
The Vital Plates protect the front and back of the torso. Constructed of small overlapping plates of a titanium disulfide based inorganic fullerene-like nanomaterial called "API6", the Vital Plates exceed Level IV (7.62×33mm Armor Piercing) protection levels. The overlapping plates (a design commonly referred to as "Dragon Skin") offer superior protection to standard plate armor while also enabling greater freedom of movement and reduced weight.

The exterior plate carrier of the Vital Plates includes MOLLE webbing to attach mission equipment such as magazines and hook-and-loop (Velco) fabric for the attachment of name, rank, and other patches.

Non-Vital Plates
The Non-Vital Plates cover the shoulders, thighs, and knees. The Non-Vital plates are designed to protect from shrapnel and small caliber rounds, giving Level II (9x19mm FMJ) protection. Each ballistic plate is constructed of the same aramid composite material used in the BK-4K helmet to provide lightweight yet durable protection. The Non-Vital plates provide protection to the major arteries and joints of the user thereby reducing combat casualties.

Each Non-Vital plate has been shaped so that it does not interfere with the user's natural body movements. With the exception of the knee pads which are integrated into the uniform pants, the Non-Vital plates attach onto the straps of the Vital Plates to combine for fully integrated protection.

Electronics Subsystem
The electronics subsystem of the BK-4 Combat Armor System was added to improve soldier lethality, survivability, and communications abilities. The Electronics Subsystem consists of a small shock resistant, waterproof computer, the wrist mounted interface device, and the HUD eyepiece. The Electronics Subsystem is designed to link with the PBPV-3 Electro-Optical Gunsight for maximum functionality.

The wearable computer operates on a high-reliability EXIX-based operating system with a 500mHz processor. The computer is also integrated with a radio transceiver allowing for encrypted communications at the individual soldier level and a GPS system for navigation. Utilizing a seperate battery bank than the microclimate system, the Electronics Subsystem is capable of running for 7 days before needing to be recharged.

The communications equipment in the Electronics Subsystem allows for complete command and and control at the individual infantryman level. Users are able to flag targets with GPS coordinates, view friendly and enemy troop locations, and order support strikes from aircraft or artillery.

The wrist mounted interface and HUD eyepiece allow for easy and intuitive operation with the Electronic Subsystem. The wrist mounted interface uses a high quality capacitive touch screen constructed of a durable glass-like material similar to those found in high-end smartphones. The wrist mounted computer also measures heart rate using a photodiode sensor allowing for combat medics and commanders to locate and assist casualties. The HUD eyepiece allows soldiers to view waypoints and other information; accelerometers in the eyepiece allow users to see information displayed "floating" above certain location with the augmented reality features.

Image
The PBPV-3 Electro-optical gunsight combines a traditional optical gunsight with digital features to enhance accuracy and improve a soldier's situational awareness. Combined with the optical sight is a digital compass, ammo counter, range finder, and ballistic calculator. The PBPV-3 is designed to work well with a variety of small arms such as assault rifles, light machine guns, and designated marksman rifles. The PBPV-3 features a unique auto-adjustment mode where the reticle is able to be moved based on information provided by the range finder; all a soldier will need to do is set the range and then place the reticle on target. In testing by the Ionician Department of Defense, the PBPV-3 provided substantial improvements in accuracy over traditional iron sights, especially at long ranges. The auto-adjust feature was found to greatly improve both target acquisition time and accuracy.

Image
The non-electronic portion of the scope offers a variable 1-4x zoom and an tritium illuminate the reticle. A horseshoe design was chosen as it has been proven to increase firearm accuracy and most accurately represents the spread of a firearm at long ranges. Illumination is provided by a fiber optic light pipe which collects ambient lighting to prevent the sight from being to dim or too bright; this is combined with a red tritium light source for use at night or in very dark environments. Due to the radioactive half-life of tritium, the tritium lamp will need to be replaced every 8-12 years. In addition to the illuminated reticle are markings for windage and elevation. The body of the scope is constructed of a high grade, corrosion resistant aluminum coated with a drop resistant layer of rubber to increase durability. The interior of the PBPV-3 is filled with nitrogen to prevent fogging. The optical sight was designed so that it could be easily used should the electronics become non-operational.

The electronics systems further enhance the features of the PBPV-3 sight. At the top of the sight is the ammunition counter which uses magnets in the magazine to determine how many rounds are left remaining in the magazine (NOTE: This feature is only designed to work with weapons created by TALON National Arms Corporation. Use in other weapons will require modification). Below the ammunition counter is the compass which use a digital compass sensor and accelerometer to show which direction the scope is aimed in. At the bottom of the screen is the laser range finder, showing the distance to the target. The PBPV-3 includes an auto-adjustment feature wherein the reticle is able to be set automatically based on distance allowing riflement to quickly aim their rifle with a very high level of accuracy. Illumination for the electronics is provided using the same hybrid fiber optic / tritium source as the reticle which greatly increases the battery life.

H-12 Infantry Grenade

Postby Ionicus » Mon Dec 23, 2019 11:33 am

Image
H-12 with high explosive core and fragmentation case


Image
Weight: 0.6-0.8 kg depending on filling
Length: 138mm (5.4 inches)
Filling: C4 explosive (high explosive), other variants available
Detonation Mechanism: Electronic fuze, timed (3-60 seconds), impact detonation, or command detonation
Blast radius: Configurable for 15-25 meters in high explosive configuration
Price: See Pricing

Image
The H-12 infantry grenade is an adjustably fuzed, modular hand grenade created to provide substantial improvements and cost savings over traditional hand grenade designs. The H-12 grenade can be set for either 15 meters (defensive) or 25 meters (offensive) by replacing the bottom portion of the grenade allowing for a two-in-one solution to the two most common types of grenades used. In addition to its use as a hand grenade, the H-12 can be activated by command detonation allowing it to be used in a fashion similar to the M18 Claymore mine. Rather than use a set fuze time, the H-12 is adjustable giving soldiers a wider tactical use of the H-12.

Image
In high explosive configuration, the H-12 is filled with C4 explosive which was chosen due to it's extremely high stability (C4 cannot be detonated by high temperatures, gun fire, or impacts). The bottom portion of the H-12 can be removed by unscrewing it allowing for the change of either the 15 meter blast radius core or the 25 meter blast radius core. A steel fragmentation sleeve is available for the H-12 which forms high-velocity, triangle-shaped steel projectiles in all directions increasing lethality against infantrymen.

The H-12 uses an electronically timed fuze which can be set to impact detonation, or adjusted to 3-60 seconds using the dial at the top. Remote detonation can be achieved by attaching an electric firing wire to the top of the H-12 or by using a wireless detonator (800 meter range) attached to the top connection port. The impact detonation mode allows for the impact to be triggered once the grenade lands in any direction, unlike some impact detonation ordinances which require the grenade to land a specific way. A red LED to the left of the grenade's backlight LCD screen indicates when the grenade has been armed and blinks once for each second that passes. A small electronic speaker is also present which beeps with each flash of the LED; the speaker can be muted with a switch on the side of the grenade. The traditional "pin-and-spoon" system is used to arm the grenade and activate the countdown to detonation.

In addition to a high explosive configuration, the H-12 can be configured as to dispense signalling smoke, tear gas (CS gas) as well as chemical agents. An inert training grenade is also available. These are discussed in further detail below:

H-12/IT (Training Grenade)
The H-12/IT training grenade is offered to allow for soldiers to practice throwing inert grenades. The H-12/IT is filled with an ABS plastic to simulate the weight of a real H-12 grenade and the detonator cap is removed, making the H-12/IT impossible to be used with live explosives. The H-12/IT is painted light blue to and marked "INERT" to prevent misidentification; it is also fitted with an electronic speaker which produces a tone for 3 seconds after the detonation timer completes it's countdown. Just like the standard H-12 grenade, the H-12/IT can be disassembled to remove the explosive core and is compatible with the fragmentation sleeve.

H-12/F (Signalling Smoke )
A signalling smoke core/bottom is available in a variety of colors. The bottom module of the H-12/F is perforated to allow for the dispensing of the smoke.The signal smoke is created by the ignition of potassium chlorate, lactose and a dye. The signal smoke grenade is commonly used to provide tactical concealment or to signal aircraft. Burn time for the H-12/F is approximately 90 seconds. Please specify the color of the desired signalling grenade in your order or a standard grey smoke will be provided.

H-12/CS (CS Gas)
CS gas, also commonly referred to as tear gas, is a non-lethal chemical agent which causes extreme irritation to the mucous membranes such as the eyes and nose, disorientation, and vomiting. Although CS gas is a popular agent for controlling riots, it can also be used to temporarily incapacitate combatants in warfare. The H-12/CS aerosolizes CS gas once the digital fuze completes it's countdown. The H-12/CS dispenses CS gas for approximately 60 seconds.

H-12/DA (Deliriant Agent)
The H-12/DA grenade releases a proprietary, highly powerful psychoactive agent developed from the chemical compounds found in the plant Datura stramonium known as KA-42 . The original psychoactive molecules found in the plant have been chemically modified to increase body absorption times and reduce toxicity. The effects of KA-42 include delirium/altered behaviour, hallucinations, hyperthermia, pupil dilation, and amnesia. KA-42 was created to reduce an enemy soldiers willingness to fight, combat efficiency, and create a medical casualty to tie up enemy medical personnel. KA-42 is delivered in an aerosolized form and is dispensed for approximately 60 seconds.
NOTICE: This product is tightly restricted for export. A thorough investigation of the ordering nation will be completed to ensure the item is not used against the Technate of Ionicus or used in acts of terrorism.

H-12/NA (Nerve Agent)
The H-12/NA uses a nerve agent similar to VX and Novichok dispensed in aerosolized form referred to as KNA-88. Approximately 10 times as potent as VX, KNA-88 has a similar mechanism of action. When exposed to KNA-88, muscles tightly contract causing spasms which then leads to paralysis becoming lethal when the diaphragm muscles which bring air into the lungs are no longer able to function properly or when the heart becomes paralyzed. When exposed, the muscle spasms begin nearly instantaneously causing incapacitation, full lethality comes shortly after due to asphyxiation and varies from person to person typically about 5 minutes. Exposure to KNA-88 can be achieved through either skin contact or inhalation. KNA-88 can be difficult to detect on most chemical detection sets designed prior to the 1990s, therefore it is advisable that you update your chemical detection sets if your nation plans on using the H-12/NA chemical grenade. KNA-88 is dispensed for approximately 60 seconds after the timer countdown.
NOTICE: This product is tightly restricted for export. A thorough investigation of the ordering nation will be completed to ensure the item is not used against the Technate of Ionicus or used in acts of terrorism.

Image
Activating the Grenade
The grenade is shipped in an off mode to preserve battery life. Depress the dial on the top of the H-12 and the LCD screen will illuminate and become active. The H-12 is set to a standard 5 second detonation time when it is powered on. The H-12 can also be activated by removing the pin. This is done so that it can be quickly thrown with the standard 5 second timer.

Setting the Detonation Timer
The detonation timer is set using the dial located on top of the grenade. The dial is turned clockwise to increase the timer and counter-clockwise to decrease it. At its lowest setting the LCD screen will display "IMPKT" indicating that it is fused for detonation on impact. Advancing the dial to the next click will set a 3 second detonation timer while the screen shows "3 SEC". Advancing the dial will increase the time by one second each click until 10 seconds, where it is advanced in 10 second intervals.

Arming the Grenade
To arm the grenade, first remove the safety clip from the pull ring of the grenade. While firmly grasping the grenade and safety lever, remove the pin. Once the grenade is thrown the safety lever will detach from the grenade and the countdown will begin.

Changing Cores
The H-12/HE grenade has two cores, one for 15 meter and one for 25 meters. First unscrew the bottom portion of the grenade and then remove the cylindrical explosive core. Insert the desired explosive core and screw the bottom of the grenade back on taking caution not to damage the o-ring.

Attaching Fragmentation Sleeve
First slide the longer fragmentation sleeve to the top portion of the grenade and rotate it until it is secure into place. Then attach the shorter fragmentation sleeve to the bottom of the grenade using the same method.
