AMEDI, 5.5-mm Tactical Assault Rifle System, TAR-50 “iKlwa”

 

This rifle entered service with the Azanian military in 2250 and is obsolete by today’s standards, but the weapon is still highly lethal and has proliferated to all corners of human space. The TAR was given the name “iKlwa” after the Zulu short, stabbing assegai itself named for the sucking noise it makes when pulled from the chest or belly of an enemy. The TAR is still used by some reserve units, regulars on special deployment and the police force. The weapon is of a bullpup design with the magazine well and breach located in the butt stock behind the trigger group. Originally the TAR was manufactured without an integral grenade launcher, but the assault rifle version has long since been refitted with one.

 

There are four different version of the weapon, the basic TAR-50I Infantry Assault Rifle. The TAR-50M for the section designated marksman role with a longer and heavier barrel and improved sighting unit providing accurate long-range fire. The TAR-50C for commandos, airborne troops and vehicle crews, that has a shorter barrel and cannot be fitted with a grenade launcher. The last version is the TAR-50S; designed for special operations and security forces with a very short barrel and no fore stock but with a small forward pistol grip just in front of the trigger group. All versions have a four action trigger setting; safety, single shot, 3-round burst or fully automatic.

 

All TARs use a standard sighting unit; an integral reflex optical reflective sight with red dot reticule and a laser range finder/target designator. The sighting unit has a small disposable battery that can easily be replaced that has a 72-hour operation life. The TAR-50M has the same unit but in front of the sight optic is a marksman’s unit with similar capacities to the binoculars detailed in the Adventurer’s Guide (thermal night vision, ×5 to ×20 magnification and gyro-stabilization at high magnification). This marksman’s sight unit can be fitted to the other TAR, except the TAR-50S versions if required but this is uncommon.

 

Additional optional accessories are sight mounted imagers (see Adventurer’s Guide), carry slings, 20-round, 40-round and 100-round drum magazines, bipods, rifle grenade adaptor, suppressors, a myriad of optional sighting devices and blank firing attachments.

AMEDI, 4.5-mm, Tactical Assault Rifle, TAR-92

 

When the Azania Ministry of Defense looked at replacing the AMEDI Assault Rile AR-50 in the early 2290’s, they looked at the Russian AS-89, French FAM-90 and British L142A1 these lacked some qualities that the Azania Ministry of Defense wanted for the armed forces. Azania Military Equipment and Defense Industries were asked to design a weapon of local manufacture as they did with the TAR-50. As Azania was a member of the ESA and had access to the ESA 4.5x20-mm flechette. The weapon is of a bullpup design with under slung 30-mm automatic grenade launcher with a 3 round box magazine as standard. The magazine used is of local design; this is like the FAM-90 magazine with higher charge capacity and the rifle can use FAM-90 magazines if required with a downgraded performance.

 

The Azania Ministry Of Defense wanted a weapon system for 5 different rolls, 1 for infantry use (TAR-92I), one for squad marksman/sniper use (TAR-92M), one for aircraft/vehicle crews and non-combat personnel as a carbine version (TAR-92C), one for special force operations with sound suppressor  (TAR-92S) and a squad support rifle (TAR-92LSW). All these had to have the basics design features so that compatibility was not an issue within the armed forces and for easy of training and logistical supply. There was an experimental version called the TAR-92LSW, but this was not accepted for service and only about 1000 was produced. This version had a heavier and longer barrel as in the GAR-92M and bipod and no bayonet lug and had a higher rate of fire, as with the British LSW there were minor problem with the 200 round magazines, mostly with the magazine feed and power cell faults. So a new weapon was designed instead for this role called the LMG-93.

The Infantry version is called the TAR-92I in service all troops are train in the use and field maintenance of the weapon. The barrel also has a bayonet lug incorporated for use with the K-80 Bayonet/Survival Knife and comes standard with the weapon.

 

 The grenade launcher is of AMEDI design as well the AMEDI, 30-mm, Semi-Automatic Grenade Launcher, Mk 5, there are 2 types of magazine for this weapon a 3-round box and a 6 round box, the 3 round box is standard for troop issue and the 6 round is for special forces or on special issue as this is a heavier and more cumbersome. The sighting unit is top of the weapon slightly to the left and the weapon is designed for right-handed use. There is a conversion plate for left handed users if required.

 

The sighting unit has a laser range finder, with a telescopic unit with up to a 4 zoom and has a plug unit so that the can be incorporated into a heads up display or battlefield combat system, as a backup if the sight unit is faulty in action it has a red dot unit incorporated as well. The fire selector is on the left side of the weapon just forward of the pistol grip; this has 4 setting positions single shot, 3-round blast, fully automatic and grenade.

 

The TAR-92 has a gyrostabilizer for use when the weapon is used in automatic fire mode, troops are trained to place single shots and use the 3-round blast in the double tap mode and automatic is only used for close range or suppression fire.

 

The Marksman/Sniper version is called the TAR-92M in service all troops are train in the use and field maintenance of the weapon. The TAR-92M has a longer and heavier barrel than the standard assault rifle with a lightweight bipod and no bayonet lug and also included is a sound suppressor for single shot only use.

 

The sighting unit is top of the weapon slightly to the left and the weapon is designed for right-handed use. There is a conversion plate for left handed users if required. This sighting unit has improved a laser range finder, with a telescopic unit with up to a 20 zoom and has a plug unit so that the can be incorporated into a heads up display or battlefield combat system, as a backup if the sight unit is faulty in action it has a red dot unit incorporated as well. The fire selector is on the left side of the weapon just forward of the pistol grip, this has 5 setting positions single shot, suppressed shot, 3-round blast, fully automatic and grenade.

 

The next version was the Carbine for aircraft/vehicle crews and non-combat personnel, This is called the TAR-92C in service, as being a carbine version of the TAR-92 the weapon does not have an under slung 30-mm grenade launcher, instead the is a forward fold up pistol grip, this can either be used as a pistol grip for use in automatic fire and stay folded and used as a normal forward stock. The barrel is shorter and the range and muzzle velocity is not as great. This version users the same sighting unit as the TAR-50, this is an integral reflex optical reflective sight (integral red dot + laser range finder/target designator); this is powered by the integral power cell of the magazine. As users the same magazine as the infantry version.

 

The last version to enter service is the TAR-92S, this is a Special Forces version with a sound suppression system and is basically the TAR-92 and is slightly heavier with the added suppression system. Generally instead of the 3-round box magazine of the standard infantry version it is issued with the 6-round box. There are 6 setting positions single shot, single shot suppressed, 3-round blast, fully automatic, fully automatic suppressed and grenade. The grenade launcher cannot be suppressed.

AMEDI, 7.5-mm General Purpose Machine Gun, GPMG-70

 

This was designed in 2270 for general-purpose use as a machine gun from squad support to co-axial gun for armored vehicles. The design of the weapon is straightforward with really no thrills. There is a quick-change barrel with carry handle. The weapon is of a rolling block design. Incorporated into the weapon is a bipod on the gas return tube under the quick-charge barrel. The butt of the weapon can be removed so that spade grips can be instilled for the Sustained Fire (SF) kit if required, or for use on vehicle mounts. There is also a cooling kit available for the weapon if used in the SF role or vehicle mount, this fits over the barrel and has a small pump to cycle coolant around the barrel. There are 2 types of SF kit available the standard field mount, this is a tripod configuration and is crew severed, incorporated recoil buffers, sighing unit, with a coolant system if required. And the power SF kit that is power operated with sight unit and battery pack including a coolant system (5 liters of coolant) and recoil buffers, this also is a 500 meter light weight cable for remote operation of the weapon. The is several types of ammunition feed systems for the weapon, a 75-round drum, a 150-round box magazine, 1 600-round Magazine and 1200-round magazine. The 600-round and 1200-round magazines are general used on vehicle mounts and with the SF kits as they after relatively heavy. There is also available general mounting for vehicles.

 

The standard sight on the weapon is of the AR-50 type, an integral reflex optical reflective sight with red dot reticule and a laser range finder/target designator. The sighting unit has a small disposable battery that can easily be replaced that has a 72-hour operation life. This can be replace with other sighting unit if required.

 

There are three selections setting on the weapon single shot. 3-round burst, and full automatic, the safety selector is on the pistol grip of the weapon so that the user can quickly engage or disengage the safety.

 

When required the same grenade launcher as on the TAR-50 can be used under sling on the weapon. But instead of the ring type trigger there is a pistol grip trigger mechanism. This is call the AMEDI, 30-mm Pump Action Grenade Launcher Mk 3A.

 

The standard tripod sustained fire kit (SFK-95), this has two recoil buffers on the side just below the locking pin that holds the weapon emplace. And has two folding forward legs to the rear of the mount and one to the front folding back. The tripod comes with a Traverse and Elevation (T&E) control mechanism, the battery life of the coolant pump is 24 hours, sighting unit and also includes the spade grip to replace the butt of the weapon. Also included are the mounting brackets for the 150-round, 600-round and 1200-round magazines.

 

The powered sustained fire kit  (PSFK-95) is the same as the standard kit, but has power Traverse and Elevation (T&E) control mechanism and sighting unit and comes with a lightweight cord so that the weapon can be controlled up to 500 meters from the emplacement. Also included is a power back that is under sling on the tripod to power the controls and sighing unit this has a maximum operating life of 24 hours before the power back needs to be replaced.

 

There last mounting system is for vehicles, VMSFK-95 this is based on the SF kit but does not have the tripod legs and is design to but into a role bar or emplaced on a vehicle couple for crew severed use.

AMEDI, Gauss Gun-Mortars

 

With its gun-mortars AMEDI has produced a type of weapon that has no real counterpart anywhere, for it has managed to combine the attributes of the conventional Gauss gun and the high-angel mortar. The idea is to provide a versatile close-support weapon for use any a variety of ground forces, and the basic idea is simple: a automatic breech-loaded mortar is so arranged that the mortar bombs can be fed into the barrel from the breech form any angel. This type of weapon was developed initially for mounting on light armored vehicles, but other applications have been evolved. It cannot be used from a bipod or other ground mountings.

 

There are two calibers in the AMEI gun-mortar range, 60-mm and 80-mm. There are two types of 60-mm gun-mortar available the standard 60-mm GM-94 and the TGM-98. The first model the 60-mm GM-94 is designed for use in the infantry support role, with the second model the TGM-98 used in the HAT-98, HIFV-98 and HACP-98 as a decoy and smoke launcher, the TGM-98 is slightly short and has less range. The 60-mm gun-mortar can be used in turrets of armored vehicles as will.

 

The 81-mm gun-mortar is more likely to be used as the main armament of an armored car, armored personnel carrier or at company level for infantry support roles.

 

These turret mountings are designed for close support of infantry operations. The gun-mortar has hydraulic buffers to absorb most of the recoil forces when the weapon is fired. There is also a coolant system to keep the weapon cool in action so that they can maintain a high rate of fire when required.

 

The ammunition is specially design for the mortars and they cannot use normal mortar bombs from other none gauss mortars, or they well damage the weapon. There is a large variety of mortar bomb available range from the standard high explosive bomb to canister rounds for both the 60-mm and 80-mm gun-mortar. 

 

The 60-mm GM-94 has a direct fire range of 800 meters when fired in a low trajectory angel and in the high trajectory angel has a range of 2500 meters. The low trajectory angel is for engaging armored vehicles or in direct support of infantry. The high trajectory angel is used in the normal manner of the traditional mortar and has a range of 2,400 meters.  The TGM-98 has a shorter barrel and less range and can be used in the indirect mode. The TGM-98 can fire that standard mortar rounds but is mainly used to fire decoy, smoke and illumination rounds.

 

The 80-mm gun-mortar has the same designation GM-94. This is used as the main armament of armored vehicles is place of normal cannons, or in the support role of infantry in place of traditional mortars is a turret. And has the same basic recoil and coolant systems of the 60-mm version but is heavier and more complex. The direct fire range at low angel trajectory is 1200 m and in the indirect high angel trajectory has a range of 8,000 meters.

AMEDI, Gauss Gatling Gun, 7.5-mm, 3-barrelled, GAMAP-95

 

This weapon was designed by AMEDI in 2295 for use on vehicles for anti-missile and anti personnel use. The weapon is not man-portable, but can be used as emplaced defensive weapon with a heavy powered tripod with sighting unit, this can be remotely controlled if required up to 500-meters by a 2-mm fiber optic cable. A small power plant to provide energy for the operation of the gun, tripod and sighting unit or can be power from other source as a power grip of a base.

 

The ammunition used is 7.5x35-mm flechette this is based on the ESA 4.5x20-mm flechette. With being a 3-barrel gun an advanced cooling system is employed to keep the barrels cool in action. This being a closed system with very little leakage of coolant in operation. Each barrel has 4 small coolant tubes on the length of the barrel with return tubes beside them. The weapon has a 10- liter coolant tank unit/refrigeration under the breach mechanism; this also helps cool the ammunition feed, loaders and other components of the weapon. The coolant system users the 10 liters of coolant for every 12,000 rounds fired.

 

The field-mounted tripod is a heavy piece of equipment and is not normally carried on a little utility vehicle and the weight is 300 kg, this provides a stabile firing platform for the weapon, it has hydraulic recoil buffer system. The is also a vehicle mount so that it can be used as the main armament of vehicles that normally would carry machine-gun or other types of weapons like 25-mm autocannons. The weight of this mount is 150 kg. There is also a lightweight power cord so that the weapon can use the vehicles power plant to operate the weapon. This also has a hydraulic recoil buffer system.

 

There are 2 types of magazine available for the weapon the standard 4,000 round and the maxi 8,000 round. Most vehicles would be fitted with the 4,000 round magazines and feed unit. The 8000 round would be using mostly with the field-mounted tripod.

AMEDI, VAVM-7 “Hyena”, Anti-Vehicle Missile

 

This is a vehicle mounted anti-vehicle missile for use on vehicles or can be used in field fortifications. The missile itself is a fire and forgets type after the gunner has locked on to the target type. There are three basic components to the missile system, the launcher mount, the missile tube/storage unit and finally the missile. The missile has two modes of attack selected at the time of firing; mode one is direct attack and the second mode over head attack. The war head of the missile is designed to have a stand off attack as to maximize armor penetration, this creating a super heater liquid jet to burn its way though the armor. The launch tube act as a storage unit for the missile as well and has a small battery and computer so that when it is not loaded onto the launcher it can be storage up to 5 years before the missile needs maintenance/upgrading, this has a small LC display show the date of manufacture or date of maintenance/upgrading and how long the missile has been stored.

 

The missile can be taken out of the tube to be mounted in different type of launchers if required but the standard launcher discards the launch tube after firing. There are 4 types of launcher available, the VMLS-1 is the launcher mount and sighting unit that can be attached to vehicles that do not normally have a launcher system and normally runs of the vehicles power plant, but has a battery backup. The VMLS-2 this is a system designed to replace the launchers of the French Guiscard Manta-1 and German Luchs in the AC-12 and LkPz-IX. The AMLS-3 is designed for the HAT-98 and its varieties of assault vehicle and other AEMDI vehicle designs and is just a basic launcher and is build into the vehicle. The last launcher unit is for field emplacement and has a tripod unit with sighting unit and battery as is called the GMLS-1, this can be controlled up to 500 m meters from the launcher with a light weight cable.
