The MSG (Modular Submachinegun) has been developed by Haruspex International Armaments of Machina Haruspex since the mid-2000'w and is now appearing on the open markets. The key idea behind the MSG series was to ceate a lightweight and powerful submachine gun, that could bolster the firepower of policia and reserve legionary units.
As originally designed, the MSG series is chambered for larger cartridges than other submachine guns like the CSG series, to provide more stopping power against unarmored targets (with a slightly lower effective range) than the 7.7mm CSG provides. A larger cartridge produces more recoil, and makes control more difficult in fully automatic firing. To mitigate this, the cyclic rate of fire was reduced to 600 rounds/min, which makes it one of the slower firing submachine guns on the market.
The MSG is available in four trigger group configurations, featuring different combinations of semi-automatic, 2-round burst, fully automatic, and safe settings. It features a side-folding buttstock to reduce its length during transport. When the last round of the MSG is fired, the bolt locks open, and can be released via a catch on the left side. The standard viewing sights comprise an aperture rear sight and a front ring with a vertical post. It can mount four Picatinny rails (one on top of the receiver, and one on the right, left, and the bottom of the handguard) for the attachment of accessories such as optical sights, flashlights, or laser sights. Vertical foregrips can be attached to the bottom rail for increased controllability during burst and automatic fire.
