Description
The XM22
Advanced Infantry Weapon is an experimental military
carbine. It is a bullpup-configuration weapon, which
means the action is placed behind the firing hand in
the normally-empty stock. This mens that bullpup
rifles can have a shorter overall length without the
necessity of a shorter barrel. Its caseless
ammunition is extremely compact, allowing a large
magazine capacity. Since there is no spent cartridge
casing to eject, the rifle's action is completely
enclosed and thus very reliable in dirty
environments.
A special
recoil compensation system makes the weapon fairly
controllable under semi-automatic fire, and not
unreasonably wild for larger individuals in fully
automatic mode. The weapon is available only through
the U.S. Army's Advanced Weapons Research
Laboratory, and can be obtained only through
contacts. |
