Prelude
Small Arms
Small Arms vastly improved under the 1711 Act with the introduction of the SA1680 as the new standard service rifle. However under Project 1727 the LSW form of the weapon system would be dropped in favour for the introduction of a new General Purpose Machine Gun operated by an operator in ‘Delta’ fireteams throughout the army’s vast number who of sections.
As well as introduction of a new GPMG, during the Kapavian Insurgency Florian soldiers also needed a new marksman rifle in case Florian infantry units were engaged by small arms fire from outside the range of their own assault rifles and light machine guns. The only weapon systems capable for such combat was the cherrypicker however these are unsuitable for a patrolling soldier. This is led to the development of the Florian Sharpshooter Rifle.
The rifle is a semi-automatic rifle designed to give an infantry section the ability to engage targets with accurate fire out to 800 metres. Fitted with 20 round mags the rifle can also be used in close combat. The weapon system like the SA1680 can be fitted with a bayonet and is equipped with 7.62 rounds.
