Basic Information
The weapon is essentially a short stroke gas piston bullpup rifle, with an integrated magazine fed grenade launcher. Based heavily on the AR-18, it differs in that it only uses a single recoil spring and guide rod, and uses a striker fired mechanism, instead of a hammer fired spring. While this makes it similiar to the Vz. 58, it is more heavily resemblent of the AR-18. The bolt also contacts the guide rail of the lower receiver, rather than being internally contained in the upper receiver. The magazines are fed in two locations, one for the rifle itself and the other for the grenade launcher. The rifle magazine is in the back, where as the grenade launcher magazine is the front, and is used as a handguard to place the hand when firing. While an empty magazine can be used as a handguard, it is much easier to hold on to the handguard when a magazine is in place.
