In the last decade, Loyanese arm manufacturers have been attempting to create a new generation of combat assault rifles to replace to aging MD-2 IMBEL series, specifically for arming Loyanese troops and the lucrative export market. Over the last few years, foreign series such as the excellent Xavier Arms line and reliable AK pattern guns have dominated the market. Now, Loyanese designers pit their latest creation against these popular rivals.
SRD-2 AllamaIntroducing the Special Rifle Design Mark 2, christen as the Allama by it's designers. The SRD-2 is a one of a kind rifle, carrying traits that no other firearm in the international market possess. It is chamber for the unique 6.5mm
Grendel cartridge, a middle ground between the popular 5.56mm NATO and the AK pattern 7.62s. It outmatches the smaller 5.56mm in stopping power and accuracy, while still possessing flatter trajectory and higher velocity over the heavier 7.62. These two cartridges can largely be discarded in favor of the Grendel, as it possesses the advantages of both the 5.56 and 7.62.
SRD-2C (Standard Carbine) above. The SRD-2 also uses a revolutionary new action invented by its designers. Called the
double-spring action, the SRD-2 makes less use of the expanding gases in a gun to cycle its action, resulting in
higher muzzle velocity and range as more of the gases are use in propelling the bullet. The double spring action also
reduces the risk of jamming, as it uses a "sure thing" extractor. The trade off is a
lower cycling rate, hence
reduced rate of fire. However, combat studies has shown that high rate of fire in automatic weapons result in decrease accuracy and excessive recoil, hence a lower cycling rate can be a blessing in trained hands. A
muzzle gas compensator further reduces the raise of barrel during automatic fire, hence increasing accuracy.
The SRD-2 is contructed of only high quality materials. Barrels and receivers are available in both titanium alloy and 3430 stainless steel. The body is molded from super-strength UHMWP and Aramic plastics. All parts are made to exact specifications, to insure that the rifle remains accurate and reliable throughout its service life. A variety of scopes and accessories can be fitted on the modular design and slot-and-lock rail.
