The Sag-34 Advanced Combat Rifle, or ACR, is a unique weapon built around a bullpup design, with a twenty round clip located behind the the pistol grip. This weapon, like its sister weapons (SAG N.01 Needler, SAG N.02 Dragoon Needler, SAG-2, SAG Commando, SAG P3, and SAG NMG), a caseless design, but this is by far the most powerful variant of the line, firing a 7.92mm Fletchette with a much more powerful propellant charge than its sister weapons. Inside of the block propellant is an embedded sabot, loaded with the heavy Tungsten Carbide Fletchette. Upon detonation, the sabot is rifled slowly down the barrel, and upon leaving, splits and incinerates, leaving the powerful dart on a nearly flat ballistic trajectory. This round will punch through any body armor it confronts, and some light vehicle armor.

After each round fired, the gun purges itself of the excess propellant residue, ejecting a cloud of dust from vent ports on the front of the gun. The barrel is extremely heavy, and cryo-treated to help it maintain integrity under the extreme conditions of firing. A muzzle brake is installed to reduce recoil, but this is still a powerful weapon. It comes with an integrated 3-12x variable scope.
