 With the aging [[beschutzer]] nearing its operational end, the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:military:abwehran_armed_forces]] called for a new rifle for planetary operations.  Both [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]] and [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kwb:kaiserlich_waffenerbauer]] stepped up to the challenge with the new MDR-06 Field Rifle.  With improved durability and versatility over its predecessors, the Field Rifle is the one mass driver rifle to replace the standard [[beschutzer]] of old. With the aging [[beschutzer]] nearing its operational end, the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:military:abwehran_armed_forces]] called for a new rifle for planetary operations.  Both [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]] and [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kwb:kaiserlich_waffenerbauer]] stepped up to the challenge with the new MDR-06 Field Rifle.  With improved durability and versatility over its predecessors, the Field Rifle is the one mass driver rifle to replace the standard [[beschutzer]] of old.

-**Weapon Sight: The Field Rifle has four modes of sighting on the weapon.  The old 'iron sights' are still available if a user were to remove the scope attachment, but they would lose the other valuable modes.  With the scope attachment, a user is able to use two modes: Holosight and Telescopic.  Holosight is a reflexive sight used in close-quarters situations.  This usually superimposes a reticule in front of the user's vision when they look through.  Telescopic enables a user to get a closer picture on the situation with a maximum zoom of 10x normal vision.  The Four Mode requires the usage of the new [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:technology:equipment:light_infantry_armor]]: Camera view. On the scope itself, is a tiny fiber optic camera that is able to transmit what it sees to the Armor's helmet visor via touch connector near the safety mechanism. +Weapon Sight: The Field Rifle has four modes of sighting on the weapon.  The old 'iron sights' are still available if a user were to remove the scope attachment, but they would lose the other valuable modes.  With the scope attachment, a user is able to use two modes: Holosight and Telescopic.  Holosight is a reflexive sight used in close-quarters situations.  This usually superimposes a reticule in front of the user's vision when they look through.  Telescopic enables a user to get a closer picture on the situation with a maximum zoom of 10x normal vision.  The Four Mode requires the usage of the new [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:technology:equipment:light_infantry_armor]]: Camera view.

-As the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire]] began to expand out into the galaxy, they began to realize that their military's [[beschutzer]] was quickly becoming obsolete with age.  This especially became apparent after their contact with [[corp:origin]].  In order to keep their place as the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:military:abwehran_armed_forces]] military supplier, [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kwb:kaiserlich_waffenerbauer]] requested aid from [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]] to design a reliable and effective mass driver rifle.+As the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire]] began to expand out into the galaxy, they began to realize that their military's [[beschutzer]] was quickly becoming obsolete with age.  This especially became apparent after their contact with [[corp:origin:start]].  In order to keep their place as the [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:military:abwehran_armed_forces]] military supplier, [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kwb:kaiserlich_waffenerbauer]] requested aid from [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]] to design a reliable and effective mass driver rifle.
  
 In the mid-Second quarter of AF 260 ([[timeline:ye_32]]), the R&D organization came to their manufacturer's rescue with the MDR-06 Field Rifle.  Combining its effectiveness with the newest technologies coming out of [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]], the MDR-06 is still reliable enough because of its simplicity of design.  The MDR-06 is said to replace the old [[beschutzer]] entirely by the Third Quarter of AF 260 (YE 33). In the mid-Second quarter of AF 260 ([[timeline:ye_32]]), the R&D organization came to their manufacturer's rescue with the MDR-06 Field Rifle.  Combining its effectiveness with the newest technologies coming out of [[faction:abwehran_star_empire:economy:kfe:kaiserlich_f_e]], the MDR-06 is still reliable enough because of its simplicity of design.  The MDR-06 is said to replace the old [[beschutzer]] entirely by the Third Quarter of AF 260 (YE 33).
