55A6-840-UM 'Kist-VSBR' Very Short Barrel Chem-Rail Rifle

(Art By Arieg/Marines203)
See Also - Armaments of the Colonial Pact

A compact rifle caliber personal defense weapon based on the 'Kist-type' common receiver system it is manufactured by a wide variety of licensed and illicit organizations within the Colonial Pact. Due to parts commonality with other Kist type weapons it is widely employed by the Colonial Pact military, civil, and private security forces and organizations. The Kist-VSBR or Very Short Barrel Rifle was designed as a personal defense weapon for use by vehicle crew, behind the lines troops, logistical personnel, and various non-frontline combat postings. Wildly successful in these roles it further found itself as a favorite weapon among various private interests due to the same reasons it was popular with military forces, its compact size, its common parts pool with other equally popular Kist type weapon systems, and its general ease of use.

Weapon Mechanisms

  • Linear Counter Recoil System
    An inbuilt moving counterweight to reduce the force of the weapon's recoil on the user, it is powered and operated by the same system that gives the rifle its electromagnetic boost.
  • Weapon Attachment Rails
    There two rail attachment systems on the Raza, the first being one below the barrel this one being somewhat small and only intended for weapon light or laser systems and the second being the on characteristic 'flat top' rail mount on top of the weapon. Both employ contact digital link systems.
  • BZM-89 (CMPC) Common Micro Power Cell
    The Raza employs a BZM-89 power cell located inside the pistol grip to provide a source of power for the rifle's on board computer and miscellaneous systems, primary power for the weapon's linear accelerator is provided via the magazine's battery. Replacing the battery is as simple as unscrewing the spent device and screwing in a new one, much like a lightbulb.
  • SV90 Standard Lightweight Shielding
    SV90 type applique is used on the inside of the carbines's frame to act as a dampener against exotic particles and waveforms which may damage the weapon's operating mechanisms.
  • Sighting System
    The rifle features a flat top rail system to allow for the mounting for a wide variety of systems and optics however it lacks any kind of iron sights. Instead if a user has the right personal hardware suite or cybernetics it produces a standard augmented reality sight.
  • Ejection Port
    Normally not needed for the carbine's operation due to it being a semi-cased system (the case being a EM sabot ejected from the barrel) if a jam or failure to fire occurs or the weapon needs to be cleared the user can press down on this port and slide it open to access the firing chamber. When open the user need only cycle the bolt to eject the round currently in the firing chamber.

Weapon Interfaces

  • Firing Selector
    The manual method of switching the carbine's firing mode is via a four position switch on the inside of the rifle's handguard forward of the trigger. The weapon's firing mode can be changed on the fly via the weapon's Common Power and Digital Link system if the user has the proper equipment or cybernetic implants.
  • Adjustable Stock
    The stock pad of the Raza can be adjusted via a push button mechanism that allows the large solid piece which links into the weapons recoil reduction system to move forward or backwards, allowing the user to find the optimum distance for the operation of their weapon.
  • Weapon Charging Mechanism
    The carbine employs an ambidextrous non reciprocating charging handle that can be moved to either side of the weapon's frame. When not in use the handle folds down flush against the frame in order to reduce its profile and or the risk of snagging.
  • Weapon Status Displays
    There are two hardened weapon status displays on the rifle, a general one displaying weapon power status and remaining ammunition on both sides of the rifle slightly above and forward of the trigger.
  • Magazine Release
    Located just behind the thumbhole of the carbine, it is a pull down latch that will drop the magazine free of the weapon when pulled straight down at least one inch. It is located on both sides of the magazine and only requires one to be pulled in order to drop the magazine.
