-====== M2 Assault Rifle ====== 
-This is an assault rifle intended to replace the [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:m1_assault_rifle|M1V]] and currently in use by IPG forces.  Its original designation was the IPG-M2V.  The M2 was made the standard assault rifle for all SMDIoN services in YE 34. 
- 
-===== History and Development ===== 
-In [[timeline:ye_34]], experiments were carried out on the platform with a [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:6.8x43mm|new rifle round]] and found to be more effective.  As a result, NAM began retrofitting all existing M2V platforms to accept the 6.8x43mm round for use with all branches of the [[faction:nepleslia:military|SMDIoN]]. 
- 
-The rifle was redesigned as part of an effort by the SMDIoN to streamline Nepleslian logistics. Since the existing IAW Rifle Kit was chambered for a Zen 6.56mm round, and the company expressed no interest in the new NAM round, work began to retrofit the M2 for general service use. A laser designator was added under the barrel and is powered, along with all other electronic attachments, by a small battery.  It comes standard with an attachable flash suppressor/silencer.  Little else was changed except what was needed to accept the new 6.8mm round.

-==== Firing Mechanism ====  
- 
- 
-In gas-operation, a portion of high-pressure gas from the cartridge being fired is used to power a  
-mechanism to extract the spent case and chamber a new cartridge. Energy from the gas is harnessed  
-through either a port in the barrel or trap at the muzzle. This high-pressure gas impinges on a  
-surface such as a piston head to provide motion for unlocking of the action, extraction of the spent case,  
-ejection, cocking of the hammer or striker, chambering of a fresh cartridge, and locking of the action.
