The Experimental Bi-Induction Rotary Drive (X-BIRD) is a new action that overcomes most of the INERTIAtm's problems, specificly in the motor's reliability in water-filled enviorments. The X-BIRD uses both a modified 8.4mm motor and a short-stoke gas piston system to power the bolt carrier. In the event that one of these systems fails to cycle, (such as the motor not moving underwater or the piston not moving in zero-gee), the user can either manualy switch the operation via a small lever on the lower reciver or remove the defective system via field stripping the rifle. The X-BIRD is automaticly set to the motor's movement as it's primary cycle system, but the user can switch it should they desire one above the other. Another thing the X-BIRD has over the INERTAtm is that it has several open places/grooves/slots for upgrades, whereas the INERTIAtm was not meant for upgrades. The bolt rotates 30 degrees when cycling, due to it's rather odd placement in the carrier. This is required due to the X-BIRD's placement near the bolt carrier.
