SAG ASG

Sag Assault Shotgun (ASG)

This is the standard shotgun of The Directorate Expeditionary Forces, and has many advantages over the conventional shotgun. The gun is built in a modified bullpup design, with a twenty-four round cassette loaded behind the trigger assembly. Each of the shells is a brass-cased twelve gauge cartridge, capable of firing .00 shot, saboted slugs, Dragonfire, concussive shot, or a small contact explosive.

The gas operated shotgun is standard semi-automatic, though some models do have a bipod and fire at automatic speeds. The bullpup design allows this weapon to maintain the small profile necessary for ease of use in urban combat, while also possessing the traditional shotgun effectiveness. The barrel is smoothbore, to allow the maximum usage of various types of ammunition.

• The .00 Tactical Buckshot is the standard load of the ASG, and is no different than the .00 used by most nations, save for the brass casing and firing rate.

• The brass cased, saboted slugs are a unique take in shotgun systems. After firing, the sabot splits away from the finned slug, which is held steady in flight by its own superior ballistics. This fletchette is accurate up to approximately 600 meters, allowing this shotgun to be used as an assault rifle in times of need, while recoil compensation systems make this [*]weapon controllable.

• The contact explosives are simple micro-grenades accurate up to 200 meters.

• The Dragonfire rounds are packed with a white phosphorous mixuture, and upon firing, the round burns from a hollow core, front to back, sending a jet of white hot flame in a thirty foot plume from the barrel end. The smoothbore barrel is specially treated and cryo-forged to maintain integrity under the strenous conditions of Dragonfire, although it is not recommended to use multiple Dragonfire rounds in rapid sequence. Each Dragonfire round will burn at full capacity for approximately three seconds, and the psychological effects can be quite devastating.

• The last type of round, and the most innovative, is the Concussive Charge. Used as a breaching and clearing shot, this round is actually a micro-High-Impulse Thermobaric (HIT) charge, set to detonate at one second after firing. Upon detonation, the round scatters a fine fuel mist into the surrounding air. Microseconds after rupturing, a second explosive in the round core detonates, igniting the fuel-air globe. The blast consumes all of the air within a five meter sphere, pulling any external loose objects into its own radius with the vacuum created. The blast wave from this explosive can reach hundred of psi, and the effect is concentrated on soldiers in fixed positions, body-armor, or inside of buildings. Because of the vacuum-fireball, any non-airtight structures inside of the radius are nearly completely incinerated. The HIT round is used for clearing rooms, breaching doors, or in other special purposes. Because of its high power, it is rarely used in combat, as it can lead to massive blue-on-blue casualties.

The standard model comes with a red dot scope. Powerful, accurate, controllable, and low profile, the ASG is a boon in any close combat situation.
