RC Caelyl Carbine
The RCC is a heavy stock, low velocity, and highly accurate for its barrel length, semi-automatic carbine favored by Easky since the mid 1740s. As Easkovite forces have become mechanized the short barreled carbines have become doubly useful as rhyflers pack into the close confines of their transports.
The RCC fires a .33 caliber round-nosed bullet from a 5-round detachable box magazine.
LMR54 Wigtaem Light Machine Gun
The LMR54 is a .44 caliber, magazine fed light machine gun. The new mechanized rhyfler doctrine and field tactics require fast moving and nimble infantry forces. For this reason the mechanized units within the Asis utilize no infantry crewed HMGs. Instead the Light Machine Rifle Model 54 was developed from the R54, a semi-automatic rifle still in use with Easky’s non-mechanized forces.
The LMR54 is designed to be a stable firing platform while on the move. Some models are equipped with a bipod. However most rhyflers carrying the LMR54 prefer not to flop down into the mud to lay down fire. The magazine is infamous for being easily fouled and jamming when encountering just a little bit of muck.
Magazine changes are slow, and have a 40 round capacity, so most rhyflers prefer to fire short, methodical bursts rather than laying down fully automatic fire.
The LMR54s are typically deployed in gun squads of 10 quar. Three LMGs per squad with the rest of the squad carrying ammo and spare barrels. These squads are often employed equally as a flanking element or defensive unit.
Tarc Longrifle
The primary weapon of Easky’s sharpshooter and sniper cadre’s is the Tarc Longrifle. The Tarc is a Naedian designed, .330 caliber, bolt action rifle. It uses an 8 round internal magazine fed by stripper clips, which are generally considered useless by most that wield the rifle. The solution in peace-time is to slowly load the rounds by hand. In the field a hammer, wedge and a file are more apt for modifying the stripper clip catch, much to the chagrin of the divisional gunsmiths.
P11 Blaef Machine Pistol
The P11 is an open-bolt blowback automatic machine pistol. Chambered for a .42 caliber round. The magazine uses a double-column, single-feed 20 round magazine. The major differences between the P11 and its predecessor the P10 is in the magazine. Rhyflers often used the magazine in earlier models as a grip when firing the weapon. Over time this additional wear on the weapon led to frequent jams and damaged magazines. The P11 uses bulked up magazines and a modified magazine catch but otherwise is identical to the P9 and P10.
The main drawback to the Blaef is how quickly it chews through ammo. Because of this, and the fact that the average squad now employs 3-4 P11’s as of the reforms of 1774, most members of the squad now carry extra magazines for the squad’s Blaef gunners.
