"The F26. Putting a twist on a century-old classic."

― Weapon System Technologies advertising slogan for the F26 rifle.

The F26 Century Twist or F26 bolt action rifle is a family of bolt action rifles designed and distributed by Weapon System Technologies; its one of a few independently-developed products given their history of redistributing military-grade small arms under license.

Intended for the civilian market, the F26 series is considered a cheap, reliable alternative to more complicated rifles for recreational shooting. The selling point for the F26 is its low-technology and extensive customization options, meeting both military and civilian grade weapon calibers with a quick barrel and magazine swap. The rifle's skeletal frame allows for quick assembly and a concealed carrying option by separating the barrel and folding down the variable stock into a travel bag size.

A pseudo-military upgrade package, F26 Full Sense, adds an optionally networked targeting computer and gyroscope that feeds environmental data to the computer to greatly improve the weapon's zeroing capability. The feature gained favor with police and security snipers requiring greater bouts of situational awareness during high-risk missions.
