Basic Information
The weapon essentially takes a Modernized, heavy free-floating polygonal hammer forged 24 inch Barrel Ar-10 7.62mm x 51mm system and replaces the direct impingement system with something resembling and functioning like a scaled up 'Ares Shrike' system, with a few other detail oriented improvements. The weapon of course, exploits an extended 24 inch polygonal rifling barrel, which increases the accuracy drastically from a 16-20 inch normally rifled barrel. It also uses two impact gel insert pads in the fore-grip (or grip), the handle, and stock, that absorbs nearly half to all of the felt recoil. A large and bulky weapon, it's intended to be used as a smaller, accurate, rifle oriented version of a medium machine gun and sniper rifle system.
