About the TTK-18

Due the divided and sometimes chaotic nature of Chelti history, multiple standard weapons were made for different clans within the growing Nation. With the slow reformation after the discovery of other lifeforms the young nation decided it needed a single standard weapon for all combat troops in the field.

Designers of the TTK-18 first began searching for an already available weapon in use with one of their constituent clans; however each of these were unsuitable, mainly due to over-engineering causing reliability problems or over-specialization to certain environments. In order to stem this issue the design team made the mechanism from as few parts as possible and made it simple to clean and operate, the belief being that this would improve reliability and lengthen the service life of each rifle. Because of a need to operate inside the confines of the jungle or a ship the weapon was given a bullpup design with a high mounting point to aid troops at longer ranges.

The final design resembles a gun inside a metal box more than traditional firearm, making it very resistant to external fouling and tough to damage. The box is opened from the top and hinges upwards allowing easy access to the internals during service. It features adjustable ejection and cocking levers, allowing it to be used ambidextrously.

The weapon has made its mark on its users. Known for very good reliability even in the roughest treatment, it’s been known to be so tough that troops have used it as a club in emergencies and still continued to fight normally.

Appearance

The TTK-18 looks like a tube stuck on top of a box with a handle, stock, magazine, and muzzle sticking out. The barrel is shrouded in a large circular metal tube that acts as impact, dust, and heat protection. The muzzle sticks three inches in front of the tube with its triangular muzzle brake. Sitting in top of the tube is a large raised sight bar/top-handle which is very thick and tough, scopes can be mounted from here. The shroud has a ambidextrous cocking lever half-way up its length which is also used to adjust which side spent casings are ejected form also (note, rifle must be unloaded for this feature to be adjusted).

Directly below the shroud and merging with it is a smaller rectangular section which houses the gas return tube and is used to mount forward grips and other equipment. The magazine it typically sickle shape to save room but tubular high-capacity assault mags are used also, the handle sits in front of it with a hole for the users thumb and back of the palm. A small bar acts as additional protection for the trigger and in some models can be made full length and connecting into the bottom of the handle to completely encircle the hand (more common if the shooter is expected to enter rifle butting range). The bare stock stops an inch or so after the end of the magazine, with options from simple folding skeleton stocks to full length attachments depending on pattern and user preference.
