M12 Special Operations Carbine

"Did some tech just dump a Bee-are on top of a SMG and then drove a steam roller over it."

- Captaion Kieran Keller

The M12 Sub Machine Gun is a small, almost carbine sized weapon, utilising the miniturized 4.8x32mm rifle round. The M12 is designed to be complimentary to the M10 Personal Defence Weapon system so whereas that is a PDWS for weapon teams, engineers and vehicle crews, the M12 is designed as an offensive weapon, primarily designed for special operation units, assault teams and front line infantry who need a small but powerful weapon. The weapon is entirely made from SB-7 to provide a rugged and lightweight frame and heat resistant metal alloy barrel, meaning long, uniteruppted fire without a need for maintainence or replacment.

Uses
The M12 is primarily deisgned for frontline troops who need a small, rugged SMG. To this end it is frequently used by assault teams, special operation teams and other frontline troops.

Operation
The M12 SMG is blowback operated, selective-fired weapon which fires from closed bolt. The firing is controlled by a removable trigger unit with conventional hammer. A manual safety is located directly below the trigger. Magazine lies in the butt of the weapon, feeding from front-to-back, with spiral ramp built into the "rear" part of the magazine. Spent cartridges are ejected straight down through the chute, which exits just behind the pistol grip. The weapon comes with three Misriah Rails, one on a raised rail above the reciever, and two on each side of the barrel. The ammo is held in a stacked and curved magazine that doubles up as a carrying handle for the magazine.

UNSC Comments
"Kicks alot harder than the Em Ten but it deals a shit lot more damage."

"These four guys come up to the factory CP over at Hellevecta, all in black suits and armed to the teeth with these things, complete with mods. Looked damn badass."

"Four years fighting in the Special Recon Regiment, all that time I've used the same mod. Night Vision Laser pointer, a UV Flashlight, not that I've ever used it and a SUROG."
