Javelin 12ga Assault Shotgun
About the Javelin
With recent advances in weapons tech, it's rather diverse to put it lightly. The boys at Zen decided to do a spin on the classic tried and true. Taking the rate of fire and suppression force of an LMG1), and combining it with the punch of a shotgun. All they added in was magnetic coil to add a bit more reach with every shot. Prototyped in YE 42, but not soon enough to enter service in the war, or the market without testing being completed.
It wasn't until YE 43 that it would hit the market, and be submitted for military contract adoption. To which, it entered into use for the Nepleslian armed forces, as well as the hands of eager buyers.

Weapon Mechanisms
Basic behavior information on the weapon's mechanics and operation.
Firing Mechanism: The Javelin is recoil operated, using the recoil from its magnetic coil assisted barrel. The force of each shot, causes the mechanism to push back, cycling the feed clamp. This strips the current belt link, and pulls another shot shell into the chamber. In the case of magazine feeding, it simply strips another shell from the magazine, which pushes the next shell to be fed, up via conventional spring built into the magazine.
Loading: The weapon is either belt-fed, or magazine fed. The belt starting link is slotted into the fed breech, where it will feed the first round in upon charging of the weapon. The belt feed block is removed to open as magazine feed, which then strips rounds from the mag naturally, with the first being done manually via charging the weapon.
Mode Selector: The fire selector being non-existent as the gun only fires in full auto.
Firing Modes: Full Auto
Safety Mechanism: The safety is a simple bolt locking latch, located at the back of the receiver.
Weapon Sight: The basic ironsights are rather simple, a twin set of one inch blades, with a central half inch blade between the front twin blade set. The user simply has to align on their target, putting the target square in the natural box formed, and placing the tip of the half blade on the target's center.
Attachment Hard Points: The Javelin has a built in top sight rail, as well as underbarrel attachment rail. Additionally an aftermarket side rail bracket, has been made available to add more attach points. These are easily installed, and offer points for laser sights, flashlights, and other utility modules.
