Imperial Armed Forces

M16 A2

L63 Service Rifle (New Assault Rifle)

• Country of Origin: Praetonia

• Ammunition: 6.3 x 35mm Imperial Ordnance (caseless)
• Ammunition Capacity: 40 + 1 rounds standard
• Range: 475m (general); 750m (theoretical); 1600m (round becomes spent)
• Weight: 4.25kg
• Cost: $2,500 / unit

Description:

The L63 is arranged in a bullpup format, with the 40-round magazine or 80-round drum located to the rear of the weapon, with the pistol grip just behind the forward hand grip. The weapon is 800mm long, of which 550mm is barrel. The long barrel imparts considerable speed and accuracy to the bullet, whilst the bullpup format keeps the gun suitably compact.

The weapon comes equipped with two rails; one mounted above the gun, and usually used for mounting a scope, while the secondary rail is mounted below the grip and is used for mounting a 40mm grenade launcher, torch, Etc. A 12" sword or 5" knife bayonet may be attached to the muzzle guard.

The L63 can fire single shot, burst or full automatic. The ammunition is fired electronically in order to allow the 3-round burst a RoF of 2,200 rounds/minute (or the whole burst fired in 0.08 seconds). The full automatic mode is limited to 650 rounds/minute in order to avoid wasted ammunition, although it could theoretically go higher. Both rails carry a wire from the gun into suitably equipped accessories, allowing an underslung grenade launcher to be fired electronically from the same trigger as the weapon, and to feed information from the forward mounted laser rangefinder to the scope.

In order to save power, the gun has a recoil energy-reclamation outer barrel which recharges the battery (with a shelf life of 15 years) as the weapon is fired. Since the recoil of the rifle greatly exceeds the small current required to ignite the primer in a round, in theory the battery can last indefinitely without recharge. However, if energy-consuming accessories such as torches, the laser rangefinder and scope, Etc. are left on for long periods it may be necessary to recharge the battery manually. In an emergency, rounds may be expended in order to recharge the battery, and a manual charging system exists in case the battery completely runs out of power and is incapable of firing another round.

Integrated General Scope (IGS)

The L63 is equipped with a scope as standard - usually 4x magnification. The IGS carries a tritium illuminator for night fighting. Unlike the SUSAT, the IGS has an electronic overlay (which is not required for the operation of the scope) linked in to the weapon's laser rangefinder which displays the range of whatever the weapon is pointed at, giving the user vital information for adjusting his aim, as well as allowing him to report exact positions of enemy troops and vehicles.

The scope is highly durable and constructed mainly of aluminium. Lense caps are provided to protect the lenses, and the electronic overlay view (as well as the rangefinder) can be turned off most of the time in order to conserve electricity.
