GP1 Custom Hybrid Assault Rifle

in YE 36, Ventriss purchased a GP-1 Assault Rifle assault rifle from a Star Army Surplus Store and thought she could get more bang for her buck out of the old weapon.

So it was taken to her workbench, stripped down and built back up multiple times until it was better, and a lot heavier.

About the GP1 Custom Hybrid Assault Rifle

Others might have rechambered the rifle but no, Ventriss instead strapped an electromagnetic array to either side of the barrel, rigged a 3 slot battery pack to the side and hooked it all up with some wires and duct tape. For the most part the weapon was relatively untouched besides a few extra holes being machined into it.

Weapon Mechanisms

Below is information about the GP1 Custom Hybrid Assault Rifle's mechanisms:

  • Firing Mechanism: Rotating bolt cycled by gas-piston system. A small amount of gas produced from cartridge ignition is siphoned off into tube above barrel. This gas pushes back a piston in the tube, which is attached to the bolt and cycles it. Once the bullet enters the barrel, it is accelerated to double the speed due to the magnets on either side.
  • Loading: A magazine is inserted upwards, into the mag well and batteries on the stock are able to be replaced without powering down the electromagnetic array.
  • Mode Selector: a small dial allows the weapon to be cycled between safety, automatic, burst and semi.
  • Firing Modes: Fully automatic: fires for as long as the trigger is held down, Burst fire: fires three bullets with each squeeze of the trigger, Semi automatic: fires one bullet for each time the trigger is pressed.
  • Weapon Sight: A MOASS is rigged to a small digital display and functions as a x100 variable zoom scope.
  • Attachment Hard Points: None

Other

A foregrip has been mounted to the underside of the barrel and the light/laser switch has been repurposed into a switch for the rifle’s battery pack.
