Basic Information
Barrels The Kinetic Energy, or 6.8mm barrel exploits
polygonal barrel to increase it's accuracy. By using polygonal rifling, decreased barrel length can still result in an increased velocity and accuracy. When used at normal barrel lengths, accuracy and velocity are improved to what an improved barrel system would provide instead. The drawback to using polygonal rifling is the fact that the bullets can be misshapen more easily, and that the bores can be filled by bullet remnants much easier than conventional barrels. Due to the heavy full metal jacket present on the ordinary round, the barrel wear normally associated with this kind of rifling doesn't affect the round as much as it normally would.
The High explosive round barrel, or the 25mm barrel, exploits the ordinary rifling found in the XM-25 grenade launcher. The round used in the grenade launcher is indeed the same used in the XM-25. Instead of using polygonal rifling, the round uses an ordinary system, due to the lessened need for a supremely accurate grenade, as they possess a larger diameter and explode on target. Along with this, is the central concept that the round do not 'morph' like copper jacketed rounds can.
Magazine Feeding SystemThe Kinetic energy module is a top horizontal clip fed device, resembling that of the
P90. It uses the same composite translucent material, and the same bullet turning device, and generally the same construction. The difference between the two is the size of the clip. The clip has been widened by nearly three times it's original width, and lengthened by roughly 35% it's original width. It is also roughly 13% taller. The internal volume of the container is much higher than the original P90 one which it is based off of, but it works in primarily the same way.
The clip used to feed the HE module is essentially the same 6-round clip used in the XM-25.
OtherThe gun is basically an XM-25 and a modified M468 CQB with an improved firing system, representing something like a mix between it's original design and an FN SCAR 17 variant. In addition to it's normal recoil suppressant material, the gun also has a 1cm thick layer of
impact gel placed right underneath the stock grip, shaped exactly like the rest of the stock to fit easily. The underside of the barrel is also filled with a large amount of the impact gel, allowing the weapon to reduce vast amounts of recoil in a much easier fashion.
