MIR-15

What is the MIR-15?

The MIR-15 (Modern Infantry Weapon 15) is an assault rifle used by the Outer Colony Homeworld Defence. It is a standard bullpup rifle that uses the 5.56mm round. It has selective fire modes, semi, burst, and full auto. The MIR-15 has been field tested to be sure it will work in all colony conditions.

Design Details

The MIR-15 uses a closed bolt design, and a bullpup rifle layout. This sacrifices overall length, giving it a carbine size with rifle muzzle velocity. It has two ejection ports so it can be configured for left and right handed people. The drawback is that the rifle must be partially disassembled to change ejection ports. If any of you are wondering "why did they make it 5.56mm" I'll tell you. Since most warfare involves space in some sort, we don't want to risk any structrural damage to the hull that might involve rapid decompression.

Resemblance

It is partly based off of the OTs-14 Groza and the AKS-74U. Also, it has a slight resemblance to the IMI TAR-21 and the CR-21 Vektor.

Quotes

"This rifle, it's like an extension of my arm. I would trust it like I trust my home. The only problem is the bullet size. What's with the fokkin 5.56? If it weren't for the FMJ layout we'd be dead" unknown service member
