ARX160 Carbine

The ARX160 is a lightweight assault carbine system developed within the North American Union c. 2320. It has since passed out of general use, and vast numbers of them turn up on the black market. It is a popular weapon with private security and well funded criminal organizations due to its easy procured, powerful rounds and long operating life.

Technical Description
The ARX160 is a selective fire 6.8mm assault carbine, firing from a closed rotary bolt. It comes with a swappable saftey switch capable of S-1-2-A. It is made almost entirely out of composites, with the only exceptions being a cold forged barrel, bolt and magazine well. It is a rugged weapon, firing so long as it has not been completely encased in mud or other clingy substances. It can fire over 15,000 rounds without needing to be cleaned or lubricated, and the barrel can last for twice as many. The weapon come stock mounted with a 1.5x GCSN scope, secured to a top PCAP3 rail. The shoulder stock is fully collapsible, allowing the weapon to take up a small area and still be combat ready.

A number of accessories were produced for the weapon, from laser range finders to grenade launchers.
