| There was nothing that was issued by any of the nations she knew of, but there was quite a selection of weaponry she'd find in paramilitary groups. One manufacturer caught her eye though considering she had never heard of them. The Godwin Armories section was quite small with only two weapons to its name, but the R3 Modular Weapons System seemed to be several weapons in one package. “Ah…the freaking puzzle for a rifle,” Greg commented as he looked at his own screen. “Not that I say its bad, I just never thought it was a good idea to make something so complicated. I had a hell of a time putting one of them things together, but it fires like a dream in any kit. Magnetic-based propulsion so it does not have an powder or chems and its muzzle velocity kicks most of its competitors in the bawls.” he commented. “Do you have that one you test fired? I don't want to shoot it, I just want to hold it.” Masako asked. “I've got it set to SAW configuration at the moment, but I'll let you hold it, Juni,” he replied as he went into his back room again. He was out again a moment later with another massive monster of a weapon. Kurohoshi Masako hefted this one and looked at it again with an inquisitive eye. “Ammunition?” she asked. “11x55mm saboted rounds, rumors they had some faulty rounds during testing, but they seemed to have solved that bit.” he answered as she handed it back to him. “I'll take a full package.” she ordered as his jaw dropped.1) |
First introduced in YE 30, the R30 Modular Weapons System is an attempt to standardize the weapons and ammunition used by light infantry and security forces. All components of the R30 fully interchangeable between versions, and any one version of the system can be changed to another with the correct parts and one minute's work.
In initial testing, the rectangular three element base-type sabot was found to be problematic. Several instances of the sabot spot welding itself to the coils were documented, mostly during automatic fire. In addition, feed issues were found with the proposed drum style magazine for the Squad Automatic Weapon configuration.
The rectangular round was replaced with a slightly more complicated but less problematic cylindrical four element base-type sabot. Though this round exhibited occasional instances of spot welding, they were within the specified tolerances of the program.
