[ANY QUESTIONS AND CRITICISM ARE WELCOMED]

At least half of these things were invented in the mud of trenches, not by engineers, but by common soldiers. Exept for the holy water. It was issued to chaplains of the Empire, and... I think you will learn about this specific part later.

Canned Durian was first used as a weapon when Imperial militia on the southern tropical front found themselves with absolute lack of grenades. Motivated by despair, some men used canned durian. Those unlucky who know how does this devil's fruit smells can confirm my words: you DON'T want to sit anywhere near it, and you definetly don't want to deal with all the tropical flies and insects that will come to feast on these fruits.

Pillumita was originally a weapon that was exclusive to Eternian troops, and it means "little pillum".

'Tortora' is a weapon of pain and torture. It was practically impossible to treat wounds caused by nails if this grenade hit you, in a chaos of battle. It was mostly hand-made, Imperials thought that this weapon was dishonourable, and not quite effective to be used, despite the fact that it's dishonourable. Still, some factories managed to set up a production of these grenades.

Dynamite. Not so practical in the muddy trenches, but still, as long as it works...

Winged hand grenade. Funnily enough, this grenade wasn't officially adopted, but it was mass produced and issued. Why so? Some documents were lost, and bureaucrats decided to simply ingore this issue and treat this weapon as if it is adopted and everything is all right.

Northern Cocktail. Before various confederated realms of the Great North, or as Imperials call it, Kratos Vorieas, officially declared war and joined Immortal Empire, food and alcohol was donated to the various imperial armies. To honour this fact, many Imperials started calling a glass bottle filled with flammable liquids, that was fused and thrown at the enemy, "Northern Cocktail".

Ordinary hand grenade. *sigh*. You know what it is, I know what it is.

Personnel Dossier — Sir Sanjeev Palsania, Raja of Galgotadhara

Where other admirals are remembered for crushing victories, Grand Admiral Sir Sanjeev Palsania is remembered for giving the Starborne Realm hope. Celebrated as the Marigold Paladin, he became the face of resilience in the Outreach Oversector during and after the Velutarian War.

Leading the evacuation of endangered worlds before participating in the great counteroffensives following the Turning Gleam, Palsania earned a respectable military record that culminated in the liberation of the Tozorian Corridor. Yet his greatest legacy emerged from his promotion of the marigold, a flower adopted by survivors as a symbol of renewal after facing the Velutarian onslaught.

Today, the marigold remains one of the most recognisable symbols of perseverance in the Star Kingdom, particularly in the Outreach Oversector. Through that tradition and his later service as monarch of Galgotadhara, Palsania secured a legacy defined not only by victory but by the enduring spirit of those who survived the war.

(it's what the title says) the standard infantry equipment of the terra federation (a type 2 civilization humanity that is more a multi species box with humans dominant and other alien species, from 3602, the federation spanning 7 galaxies, still exploring 6 out of 7 with the capital in geneva, the galaxies being: the milky way fully tamed, Andromeda 23--42%, triangulum 53--65%, the other 4 dwarfs 73--84%.) (all you need to know about the federation is what I said. I know it's technically sci-fi but, it counts as military)

I am posting this mini-post becuase you guys have been giving me nice support, so have MORE posts.

As always, all questions or comments are welcome.

If you asked any soldier in the Periphery about anti-armor weapons, no matter if they are Aurumites who do unspeakable things with their 1.85 inch railguns, Tronarians who practically marry their 140mm Plumbata missiles, or some trooper in a bandit state who has heard of tanks, but never seen them in his 12 years of life, they will all come back to the Bore.

It is a weapon that is both regarded with derision and respect in almost equal measure. It was made in such quantities that even though mass production of the weapon had ceased 3 years into the Liberation War, it took next 37 years of warfare to put a real dent in the numbers of weapons.
After the end of the war, production restarted among the Periphery states, as it was seen as a perfectly serviceable weapon for the sheer economic turmoil that they found themselves in.

However, most nations quickly did their best to relegate them to second line usage the moment they found it practical, for to say that it had problems is an understatement. Many of these problems stem from the fact that the Bore was made to be as preformant as possible and made at colonial standards. Seemingly, Imperials value dead enemies over alive (colonial) allies.

The missile's main issue is that it just unsafe to be around. The missile is propelled by some horrific hypergolic nightmare fuel that allows it to rapidly go from its measly 160m/s muzzle velocity to nearly a km/s to zip though APS and laser CRAM with a good chance of hitting. This is not good to be around, as the exhuast from the missile is enough to flash burn any exposed skin of the firer, plus gives everyone near the firer and along its flight path cancer from something in the fuel. Whatever that is, only the Three Heavenly Courts know.

The missile's rapid acceleration as it leaves the tube often leads to the aim of this weapon being thrown off, which isn't great for actually hitting anything, since the missile is laser guided.

The missile itself is carried in a cheap fiberglass tube that is thrown away after firing, with the trigger and CLU being ripped off and stuck on a new tube after the old one is expended. Funnily enough, the beloved Aurumite 1.85 inch recoiless railgun uses the same CLU as this missile system with only minimal modifications.

The warhead is a 1.4 kg HEAT charge able to dispatch most tanks from all but the front aspect. This certainly makes up for the other issues to many Periphery states, since they still use the missile. Due to its quirks, it is not used for what the Imperials intended it to be. Instead of being deployed in close quarters as a bitchslap, it is frequently used at the very edge of its range to allow its gunner time to correct their aim and hit the target.

Hey, I'm planning to make a list of 4 or 5 levels to measure the raw military power of civilizations. I plan for it to go from level 1, which is basically the current level of military technology, level 2, which would be the weaponry of a type 1 civilization like railguns, effective long-range lasers, basic spaceships, and more, up to type 4 or 5, which would have weapons capable of affecting space-time. Does anyone have any ideas?

A lot of settings say:

"Spaceships have corridors because people need to walk around."

I am asking:

"Why would a civilization that expects boarding still design corridors like a modern building?"

Why not Claytronics (programmable matter), or Graphene Aero-gel metafoam, just examples of what I am using in my ScFi world, you could also do magnetorheological gel, aero-gel mixed with graphene particles and solid liquid light.

What about a inner energy shield emitter than protects the inner sections of the ship or my personal idea a suspended Heavy Water Rift system where it's like a waterfall along the walls but it carries anything like beams, kinetic penetrators, hyper speed slugs, etc into the void of a massive water world through a rift-gate waterfall field wall. Imagine harpoon weapons meant to sling and drag your foes into that, but your own suit systems act like a hard layer when pressed against it due to photons in your suit. Just giving you my personal made idea. Hmm why is my universe of Sc-Fi Novel so different? Like it's not just a hallway, it's a whole different universe entirely. It's not a corridor only, it's got turrets, hard point defenses, crystal or shield barriers, traps, depending on faction this varies alot, but imagine your flashlight being absorbed into the walls, floor and ceiling due voidlight. Walls that shift on you, rearrange now your soldiers don't know where they are if they are moving deeper into the ship or towards the docking bay, or something like Heavy infantry arrive behind shield walls. Everything should say we expect to be boarded and then build around the idea of a castle, a hive, a trench, a defensive position, a ecosystem.

Designed and produced by Union Consolidated Manufacturing in 2561, the Type 890 railgun is an aging but still-serviceable infantry weapon kept relevant with a series of modernization programs. Perhaps more impressively, it is by far the most common electromagnetic infantry weapon ever issued; indeed, perhaps the most widely-issued infantry “rifle” of all time, even if one includes its chemical-fired ancestors. This is mostly due to the fact that it is the standard-issue weapon for the Union Defense Force, Union Defense Fleet infantry, and Union Special Force commandos, but the Type 890 does have its virtues. Cheap and easy to produce, reasonably reliable, easy to train on, and easy to upgrade, the Type 890 has managed to remain in service for just over 70 years, now on the Type 890 Mk.3 version.

The SABS-60 Strategic Advancement Bombing System is a tracked secondary combative vehicle currently used by the western Planetary Force as well as several defensive militaries. It entered service in the 2080s as the SABS-60A; armed with a LM-24 60mm grenade launcher and M2 machine gun, it was used to bombard an enemy concentration from roughly 300-500 metres as infantry maneuvered or pushed. However, as the Planetary Force adopted the new 15×49mm 68B corrosive capsule cartridge for their ICCR program in the early 22nd century, the SABS system was upgraded into the B variant to comply with the new standards. This new model came with a new 60×78mm WR83 grenade for the LM-24, which would allow the system to be a meaningful threat against armoured bunkers. The machine gun was adjusted to fire a new 20×61mm capsule, albeit with a lower firerate than its predecessor. Both the systems were also renamed to match the USCWC standard naming convention, with them being called the E-24 [grenade launcher] and E-20 [machine gun] respectively. They also used the new EP447 electric propulsion system.

A typical SABS crew was made up of 4 people - the E-24 gunner, the E-20 gunner, the squad leader and the repairman. As time passed, the SABS-60C variant introduced quick escape hatches for all crew compartments, which introduced a quite common new setup where the repairman would also take up the E-20 position. Everyone was protected relatively well, though new corrosive weapon would melt through the vehicle's armour with ease. Once those weapons spread to enemy forces, the SABS-60D was introduced, bearing specialised armour to weaken these dangerous projectiles. A frequent complaint that affected not just the SABS platform, but also the ICCR program that forced its upgrades, was about the ammo capacity and range. The E-24 had a capacity of 40, while the E-20 had the poor capacity of 80 and an effective range of approximately 180 metres. While that seemed horrible to soldiers used to conventional rounds, corrosive munitions were far more effective and demanded more complex feeding mechanisms to stay secure. Modern doctrine further worked on this issue by leaving high capacity in the past and focusing on safety, reliability and precision.

This vehicle, even when newer models offer far more power, armour and battlefield relevance, is still loved among soldiers. It has even made its way into numerous forms of media and has received the unofficial nickname of "Barrage Car" among military communities, referring to it's small size and brutal grenade barrages. Lots of SABS have been produced, with estimates rounding it up to about 2 or 3 thousand. They come in a unique dark grey colour, with elements of green, tan or blue depending on the area where it is kept.

Context:

- I came up with the idea that the corrosive light capsule munitions would be fired using an electric system [that being the EP447]. Due to them being kind of overpowered, I made electric propulsion give projectiles low range and also lowered the weapon capacity, and I just kind of stuck with it.

- The Planetary Force that is referred to is an army led by the USCWC, or the West-Center United Space Committee, which handles space operations for America & Europe.

- USCWC uses an Entry naming convention for its weaponry, thus, weapons made to meet their standards use said system, like Entry 24.

- A Defensive Military is essentially a normal military. In this timeline, militaries that stay on their home territory emphasise defence rather than engaging in conflicts, as not only are they in danger of getting attacked by other countries, but also by threats from other planets.

Fun Facts:

- The Planetary Force uses the E-4 ICCR as their assault rifle. That sounds fine, except the E-4 fires 15×49mm light capsules from 6 round magazines. As mentioned, new doctrine demands that infantry gains the capability to consistently engage armoured threats, thus, they carry this short-range corrosive weapon. Assuming I post this, you may see more about this weapon soon.

- Low capacity is a trend among EVERY weapon used by the Force. Even weapons found on fighter jets. Range is partially solved in the future with additional propulsion systems, with the SABS-60E getting the E-20/4, a configuration that noticeably boosted the range of the 20mm capsules.

Sorry, but I'm horrible at drawing stuff, so no picture for this thing. I just write military stuff for fun. This'll probablyy get removed anyway for not being high quality enough or something. Anyway, enjoy.

The Modular Combat Rifle (MCR) platform is a versatile system that utilizes a short-stroke gas operating system. Designed and manufactured by the M.T.W.C.

It started out as a result of the new SOF rifle request hosted by the Republic of Sardolia, with the purpose of urban combat in mind. The first rifle of the MCR platform is the MCR Phantom, with 5.56x45mm and .300 Blackout options available. It was later known as the MCR Gen1.

After half a decade, with the popularity of the AR platform, the M.T.W.C. decided to come up with a second generation of the MCR rifle that is compatible with the AR lowers and fire control. This resulted in the Gen2 MCRs. With variants like MCR Lancer and MCR Dagger, and different barrel and ammo options. MCR Lancer is the carbine version with both side charging handles and an AR changing handle, and the MCR Dagger is the PDW version of the MCR platform.

A while later, with the technology advances, the scientists of the M.T.W.C. had figured out a way to fit an electromagnetic system into a rifle. And the MCR-E (Electromagnetic/Enhanced) was born. The MCR-E offers a 13-inch and 16-inch variant. Optimized for low-profile missions.

The concept of the MCR-E is pretty simple; by utilizing its electromagnetic nature, this gun can accelerate a specialized 220-grain .300 Blackout projectile from subsonic to supersonic. When the electromagnetic rail is off, the integrated suppressor can make the subsonic bullet go super quiet. But when things went south, and you want to shoot your bullets in supersonic now, all you need to do is flip a switch, and the electromagnetic rail can accelerate your projectile past the sonic speed, even to a point that it can break the limit of a normal .300 Blackout and offer a similar, if not better, performance as a 6.8x51mm.

Oh, and it can still shoot normal .300 Blackout bullets normally, as long as the rail is off. For both training purposes and an ammo run dry situation.

With the electromagnetic rail as a feature, this also enables the gun to do something no other gun can do. Complete silence shot. Though without the gas coming out from a normal bullet, this gun can't cycle in this mode, but when the ghost mode is on, the projectile will fly out by the electromagnetic rail's power and by that only. By the tradeoff of making your AR basically bolt action, you can achieve a shot with 0 firing sound.

Despite all these benefits, two major cons of this gun are cost and weight. With the specialized barrel, this thing will cost 10x more than a standard MCR Lancer rifle. Though its bullet, the .300 Blackout SMC (Solid-Monolithic Conductive) round, only costs 2x the cost of a normal .300 Blackout round. About the weight, well, what do you expect? It's a railgun lol.

TLDR: it's a cool railgun on an MCX's body

Editor notes: I was inspired by u/Educational_Steak_29's ARrailgun to build my own railgun on my weapon platform. The MCR platform itself is really just a gun that I mix every gun I like onto a same body. Feel free to ask me about anything in the comments! Let me know if anyone's interested in the lore of the GM ARM. I surely got some arts about it that I'm more than happy to share.

“It makes no difference what men or women think of war. War endures. Aswell ask men what they think of stone, war was always here. Before man was, War Waited for him…”

Born out of a failed Heavy Tank project, the CCT-9 was meant to replace the far outdated CCT-7 in mainline tank combat roles. It was first designed in 1959 using previous plans and blueprints for the CCT-8 Project, however would not see service until 1962, just as the NWO began their invasion into Crolin.

The CCT-8 project was meant to be a Heavy Tank for the Crolin Military, meant to soak up as much damage as possible with its unbelievably thick frontal armor. It was meant for large scale offensives with its sole purpose being in breaching fortified positions with great ease. This was intentional, obviously. As Crolin had been seeking to Reunify the two Crolin’s into one government, and since the Southern Crolin’s had humiliated them during the First Great War, it was now personal for the Crolin’s people that they were forced into their nation. However due to concerns on resources, funds, and overall designs problems such as its weight, the design was scrapped in 1948.

In 1959, the Project was picked back up in an attempt to ‘modernize’ the Crolish Armed Forces. The CCT-8 was scaled down tremendously, its gun was switched to a 115mm Cannon with fin stabilized ammunition, and anti-personnel munitions. However, it got rid of the coaxial machine gun replaced it with a top mounted machine gun meant to be used by the commander chambered in the .250 Whip cartridge used in the AMR-3 Assault Rifle, the standard assault rifle at the time for the Crolin military. This of course became an issue later on when Crolin began to phase out the AMR-3 for the SSAR-60 chambered in .358 Werbell. It also had a shell ejector in the rear, meant for the removal of spent shells after long periods of fire, in the event that it was becoming too cramped in the turret. This did however lead it to, although very small, having a critical weak point. It would take a shot with incredibly luck to even hit that point. And, unlike its predecessor, the CCT-9 was equipped with a muzzle brake. Something that was a severe issue with the CCT-8 Project was its recoil, able to push the tank back, even with its incredibly high weight.

By the time it had entered production in early 1962, it would soon enter a trial by fire. The first 11 Tanks were finished just as the NWO began their invasion into the nation of Crolin. Almost immediately crews who had little training were thrown into the tanks and told to defend the factories producing the CCT-9 by any means necessary. These 11 tanks and their young crews would be given the title of, The Sparticans. A group of warriors whose story was thought to be legend. (With only 300 men, they halted an advance of well over 15,000 soldiers into their homeland, their demise being at the hands of a Traitor who gave the invaders routes that would allow them to flank the Sparticans, ending their lives however allowing their allies to form a proper response.) And in some way, these 11 tanks and its crews were the Sparticans. They knew they would eventually lose, yet they still followed their orders.

As the years went on, extending into 1962, out of the 11 original tanks and crews, only two remained. These two tanks were still committed to their orders, even after losing the first factories. Now stationed in the east, the last factory churning out the CCT-9’s was under siege. During the battles over the year of war, only 100 CCT-9’s had been managed to be successfully constructed, however instead of being sent to the frontline they were sent further east to consolidate forces with whatever command structure remained. The two ‘Sparticans’ remaining were given the task to defend the factory until the last few CCT-9’s could be made, and then to retreat. The first order the ‘Sparticans’ agreed to do, the second they refused. On 04/29/1963, the NWO launched their attack on the factory. Knowing that the Crolish military had ‘mostly’ been retreating, they believed that the attack would be a walk in the park and refused to send in air or mechanized vehicles to assist the ground infantry, who themselves were simply marching all bunched up, boasting about all the victories they had participated in. And then, two loud thunderous blasts were heard, and soon whistles. Just as the NWO soldiers looked around, many were ripped into shreds by the Cannister Shots fired by the ‘Sparticans’, who repeatedly for over an hour continued to fire canister shot after canister shot. During that hour, NWO Commanders had received radio transmissions begging them to send in tank support or to send in anything. NWO command reacted swiftly, by ignoring the orders as nothing but early battle fear. As, there was no way anything the Crolin’s had could ever have such devastating effects. In the second hour, when multiple units began to go radio silent, that’s when NWO command realized what was happening, almost immediately the commanders left the radio tent and rushed to the resting tanks and berated them, forcing them into their tanks to go assist the ground infantry. Equipped with L-11 Heavy Tanks and L-12 LMCT’s. The third Hour is when the tank column made it to the frontline, what was described was everything was red, and what seemed to be snow on the ground was nothing more than the ash and dust of bones that had been pulverized by the canister shots. The first tank in the line had unknowingly drove into a land mine placed by the factory workers long before the NWO began their assault, and without the proper tools due to having to respond to the situation as fast as they could, they left them behind. The next in the column was a L-11, who drove very slowly up the road. And then, a loud thunderous boom. His left track had been hit. When the crew got out thinking they’d been hit by a landmine, despite the tanks behind them begging them to stay inside the tank. What happened next was the entire crew was ‘removed’ by a canister shot, many of the ‘Bees’ flying through them and ricocheting off of the tanks behind them. A grizzly sight. However, the tanks continued their advance forwards. The ‘Sparticans’ had been using the urban and densely wooded environment to their advantage, covering themselves in bushes and painting themselves to match the landscape around them before the battle.

The tanks from the NWO, and whatever remained of the infantry began to come up with a plan. The Infantry were to immediately rush towards the enemy tank positions and act as shields, while the tanks rolled in behind them and tried to find the enemy’s with their sights, and shoot them. Obviously, the infantry thought this was a stupid idea and rejected the plan, instead they came up with one on their own. The tanks would roll into the road with infantry behind them, and once they were to get close enough they were to split into two groups and target each tank. This was rejected by the Tankers who thought it was stupid and didn’t want to risk their own lives. Around the course of two hours the two sides bickered on about what they should do, until eventually the commanders began to radio the group of bickering soldiers asking them what was the situation on the ground. The two sides immediately began to fight over the radio, attempting to call out Their plan while ignoring the other sides idea. Eventually, command never received a response as when the radio was grabbed by an infantryman, a tanker shot the radio with his service pistol, destroying the only radio.

With no response, command eventually figured out what to do. They were going to blot out the sun with artillery. A “perfect” plan, but terrible execution. With a majority of the Artillery being repositioned to fight on the Whalish Front, specifically for the upcoming Battle for Warsaw, and so, with only fifteen artillery pieces at their disposal, 300 shells (100 Smoke/156 APHE/ 95 HE) and the only artillery crews available were those straight out of basic training. And with literally no knowledge where the enemy tanks were, or where their own forces were. However, the commanders still allowed the plan to go through. At 3:42 PM, the artillery fire began, the plan the artillery crews had was to fire the shells in waves, first smoke, then HE, and then APHE, however what they did not account for what the differences in each shell type, and as each wave fell down, it damaged both the Two Tank defenders and their own Infantry and armor. The only shells getting near the two defenders were the HE, and so the crews had mistakenly thought they’d be safe. At 3:59 PM, ‘Jannis’, the name given to one of the Sparticans tanks had its right tracks destroyed by an HE shell that landed right next to it, leaving it stuck in its position. Its accomplice, ‘The Bear’ offered to send its crew to go and fix the tracks however ‘Jannis’ denied, and was quoted as saying, “Our crew has already made our decision. We’d rather die here with honor.” This request was respected by ‘The Bear’.

At 5:00 PM, all 300 Shells of artillery had been expensed. Whatever remained of the NWO forces near the factory began to charge towards the tanks, their own armor crushing their own troops without a care in the world. ‘The Bear’ and ‘Jannis’ fought desperately to hold them back, taking down 5 Heavy tanks, 11 Medium Tanks, and 1,390 Infantry (mostly due to artillery). As the overwhelming forces got closer and closer, the last CCT-9 had been loaded onto a train and shipped to the last major Crolish Stronghold, with that, the mission of ‘The Sparticans’ had been completed. When ‘The Bear’ was pulling out, the commander took one look back to see the ‘Jannis’ firing off shells as fast as she could, with its commander on the roof operating the top mounted machine gun. When ‘The Bear’ made it back to the Stronghold, they told the story of, ‘The Last Spartican’. When asked by others what they meant by last, given how they were still alive bearing the insignia, the Crew commander stated that when ‘Jannis’ met her fate, so did they. They were nothing, but Ghosts. They were the dead who continued to walk, even if they shouldn’t have been given with how unnatural they were. The sheer ferocity of the ‘Sparticans’ during the First and the ‘Ghosts’ during Second battle for Devrijeheuvel was astounding to both the Crolish People and their NWO foes.

The CCT-9. A dual-purpose tank. Many of those who are given the title of ‘Dual-Purpose’ typically fail at both those roles, however the CCT-9 was one of the few who met both of their standards and even exceeded them. Perfect for Anti-Personnel, and Anti-Tank. was it perfect? No. Nothing can ever be perfect. However was it good? Undoubtedly yes. From the fields of Crolin during the ‘Second Great War’ to the Dunes of Arin during her time of crisis. This tank has seen service all over the globe.

The CCT-9. It wasn’t the first HMCT, but by god willing. It won’t be the last.

“And only the Dead will Ever. See the end of War.”-Major Jannis

(Hey guys, back again with another post. Hope you like it, also any tips or knowledge on good websites for tank info? I’m not sure if Wikipedia is the best source for general information.)

(P.S. yes. If it wasn’t obvious, the ‘Sparticans’ are just the Spartans.)

[Made using IBIS Paint X]

I’m writing a fantasy book and want to know if anyone is able to tell me how a military/army works, both for the orginisation, and the higher up’s who run it. I’m also wondering how a draft works and how that should impact training. another question is how a base would look and run in a war. sorry this is a lot but I literally know nothing about this topic. thanks!

“Colonel, What the F-ck am i looking at?”
“A Submachine gun apparently, sir…”

Greetings, so since i was doing my own research on WW2 Guns i thought of making something that’s between a Sten, M3 Grease gun, Tommy gun, And well you can say we got this abomination here, so Here’s A bit of lore about these two guns for you guys :

November 3rd, 1806.

During One of the Valorian Empire’s latest covert operations deep behind enemy lines carried out by one of the ‘Imperial Intelligence & State Security bureau’ or the ISB for short, Some Operatives managed to get their hands on these two firearms which according to some intel and reports it was stated that these two weapons were “Prototypes” named after one scientist whom was the target after he was captured by the enemy and coerced into working with them on a ‘Trench Sweeper’ Project and also a cheaper gun to produce in general and also supply to the enemy’s own resistance cells or clandestine units behind valorian lines.

The Designated names for these two prototypes are

TS-06 M1 Beria

TS-06 M2 (presumably.)

Both of those models can fire 9x19mm Parabellum Bullets at an astonishing 650RPM~ Which is impressive for a gun made out of literal salvaged parts of other firearms…

The only difference between the two models is their doctrine and units produced, with the M1 Beria having over 1,500 Units produced and the gun seeing common use among Covert units, Some tank commanders and some paratroopers.

the gun never reached the mass production line due to a malfunction in the internal parts which causes the gun to explode sometimes, injuring its wielder (it was speculated that beria, the scientist behind this firearm had messed with the internal mechanisms of the firearm)

whereas the TS-06 M2 was reportedly used by some tank commanders and resistance cells and insurgents and it was made out of salvaged gun parts, giving it a distinct appearance and a unique nickname being (Ugly Betty) due to the gun’s usual looks.

The Specs :

Both Can Fire 9x19mm Parabellum Bullets

The Range :
300m~ (M1)
250m~ (M2)

Firing Modes :
(M1, Semi auto/full auto)
(M2, Semi Auto Or Full Auto Only.)

Rounds Per Minute :
650RPM~ (M1)
650-550RPM~ (M2, Reportedly affected by snow or dirt or heat.)

Units produced :
1,500~ M1 Units (Never went into main production line)
500-600~ M2 Units (Never went to main production line)

and i guess that’s it guys, if yall want me to make more cursed WW1/WW2 Era guns i’ll do so right away.

(The App/Game i use is called GunMaker, Available on ios and android.)

📃*Realism Scale*📃

--------------------------------------------

*This is a scale designed to measure the level of internal or logical realism in a work of fiction.

*Science fiction will never be 100% realistic because the individuals, events, or story it wants to tell or create often require extrapolating current theoretical physics or even discovering physical laws that humanity doesn't even know today.

*In this case, the "Justification Complexity" will be used, based on the level of effort, justification, and physical principles used to try to justify something in the work or the work in general. No justification based on real or speculative theoretical physics is 100% accurate, and minor errors are allowed as long as they don't ruin the main justification of the theme and remain coherent.

-------------------------

1]🌎*Realistic Fiction*🌎

-------------------------

*There is no technological fiction here, only a story or event that has already been told or is happening in real life.

*Such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the moon landing, nuclear weapons, or events that are real.

*Although sometimes works at this level do not focus on physics or technology but on narrative and story.

*Justification complexity: Low. It is mostly just narrative.

-------------------------

2]🏭*Ultra-Hard Fiction*🏭

-------------------------

*It is fiction that follows current or theoretical physical laws with current technology. Extrapolated or that could be created in the near future within 20-50 years

*It is Science Fiction with little fantasy and does not require Extremely extrapolated theoretical physics, new discovery or new physics

*They are accompanied by rigorous explanations of Technology that TODAY could be created if we had the time, materials or Energy to do so

*A clear example is standardized and effective laser weapons, commercial Hydrogen Engines and commercial Nuclear Fusion

*Justification complexity: Medium-High or Very High

-------------------------

3]🔩*Hard Fiction*🔩

-------------------------

*Science fiction that consists of extrapolating currently known physics but extrapolating theoretical physics to the limit, plausible technology with the technology of the future and including detailed explanations of their operation

*Basically, using current concepts and stretching them to the absolute limit currently known

*They are accompanied by rigorous explanations from current theoretical physics to justify them

*An example would be a Dyson swarm or the generation of energy by the annihilation of matter and antimatter

*Justification complexity: High or Very High

-------------------------

4]🧪*Speculative Hard Fiction*🧪

-------------------------

*It is similar to hard science fiction with the difference that it not only extrapolates known physical laws, but often requires advanced metamaterials, newly discovered physics, or technology that violates our current physics as humanity believes it understands

*They are accompanied not only by explanations Rigorous principles of Theoretical Physics, highly extrapolated, if not also based on strange physical phenomena and new physical laws to justify themselves.

*In general, it is science fiction about advanced civilizations whose mere existence (if they were real) would break our current paradigm of physics and demonstrate that they are incomplete, being very difficult to justify with current Theoretical Physics 100% because we don't even know if it is possible or if it even exists.

*The concept of Negative Energy, or better known as Exotic Energy, Spacetime Warp Drives, and physical concepts that we don't even know are possible or about which we have little information, such as manipulating spacetime or technology of Type II or even Type III civilizations, would perfectly fit into this category.

*This level, despite being one of the most difficult to justify and explain with current science, is often necessary in advanced hard science fiction works to justify the functioning of warp drives. Curvature, Technology that violates current physics or introduces elements that are currently a mystery or "gaps" in current physics

*Justification complexity: Extremely High or a headache (known physics ends here)

-------------------------

5]🪐*Medium Fiction*🪐

-------------------------

*It's science fiction that doesn't strive 100% to provide rigorous explanations or follow current physics.

*It often resorts to new or speculative physics and explanations that aren't as detailed as hard speculative fiction or hard science fiction.

*However, this fiction often strives to be coherent within its own laws.

*Justification complexity: Medium or High

-------------------------

6]🌀*Explained Soft Fiction*🌀

-------------------------

*Fiction that doesn't follow any physical laws, not even theoretical ones, but rather invents and explains its own physical laws and rules within its own works. A coherent explanation within its context, even if it violates fundamental physics.

*Justification Complexity: Medium-High

-------------------------

7]🌠*Soft Fiction*🌠

-------------------------

*In simple terms, it's mostly magic; there's no logical explanation that follows any physical law, and often it's literally magic.

*Justification Complexity: Low or Medium

-------------------------

8]🚨*Free Fiction*🚨

-------------------------

*Fiction and unexplained, unchecked power are fun, and we all love them.

*Want a special monkey that gets stronger while fighting and turns blonde? Well, go for it! Just give it a backstory, and you're all set.

*Justification Complexity: Feel free

--------

*But remember, it's fiction. No matter how justified something is, it's unlikely to be real or even exist. Fiction is designed to be free and allow writers to do whatever they want. The fact that the Spartans in Halo are well-founded and explained doesn't mean they will exist. But that doesn't matter because it's fiction. If they were real, it would be boring because we wouldn't be able to see their epic missions, they wouldn't have energy shields, and they wouldn't be so powerful

Note: I feel I need to make it very clear that I'm not trying to belittle ANYONE'S work. Fiction is a beautiful hobby, and I greatly respect anyone who puts love and effort into their work or world-building.

The EMP44-1.85 is an unconventional tool. It lacks the versatility of conventional recoilless guns, and it is very small bore for payload carrying shells. However, It is pretty damn effective if used correctly.

In the first decade of the Liberation War, Union forces and their allies were on the backfoot. They were lacking in basically everything, but especially in AT weapons that could actually hurt modern Imperial AFVs. They had plenty of rocket launchers, but modern Imperial APS and laser CRAM would require massive salvos to overwhelm. This was not great for Union troops who had to stop enemy armor pushes or actually stand their ground.
Garage railguns started being used as a single use sensor breaker to open up for AT rockets, but they weren't especially great and were hard and dangerous to use.

Thus, in the 2nd year of the war ( and the 44th year of the reign of High Prince Orrin Atama), a team of engineers from the Aurumite Principality helped develop a better option. This 1.85 inch gun is far more powerful and more effective than the weapons made before this one. It can strike out at enemy armor and helicopters with great effect with its incredibly fast Sabot rounds ( HM and AA respectively). Plus it also can fire HE and SAPHEI rounds for reducing enemy positions. This was so great that the Aurumite Principality adopted and started ordering it barely weeks after the first sucessful test. It never was the heaviest AT weapon, but it is pretty impressive for a light squad weapon to supplement rifle grenades and disposable rockets.

It has a very good fire control system and optics, and has a side display of fire control information for the squad's benefit ( mostly for the Fire Leader, since "serf" conscripts who are often issued the weapon aren't really trusted to use it right unless overseen by a "real" soldier). It is suprisingly light for its capability, and has relatively small rounds allowing a lot of them to be rucked by even the least augmented infantryman.

Since that day, it has been in Aurumite service. It served well during the Liberation war, it brought the lords in line as the Principality reorganized itself into the Kingdom of Aurum, It was a trusty friend as the Kingdom expanded, and it now fights from Kader to Gal'Haidan in the Scrambles. It was so good that all the engineers who made it were greatly rewarded, with one of the lead engineer's having his bond be transfered to the monarchy and then rendered null, making him finally a free man.

Other nations use it too, the Tronarian People's Republic have a few they ordered during the war, and a lot more captured during the Scrambles. The Kadarians have a bunch given to them as Lend-Lease by the Aurumites, and the Directorate's Periphery forces have a bunch they bought off the Tronarians.

This specific example is in the hands of an Aurumite Sanik ( Roughly equivelent to a PFC today) who has accrued a large amount of kills. 8 vehicles shown in the white tally marks, and 10 reduced positions shown in the red squares. she is due for a promotion with such good work, and even as a "serf", she is likely to get it due to the reforms after the loses on Gal'Haidan.

The ammo in service with this weapon are:

APFSDS (HM)- Grey Paint: a 2.125 kg 23mm tungsten dart in a conductive sabot intended to put holes in the sides of heavy vehicles, and through smaller vehicles frontally.

APFSDS (AA)- Light Blue Paint: a 0.880 kg 23mm sintered steel dart in a conductive sabot fired at higher speeds to create a pretty horrific postpen effect on a soft skinned vehicle like a helicopter. It also is pretty nasty against powersuits and light ground units. Has a green tracer.

SAPHEI- Red and Grey Paint: a 3.3 kg shell with 187 g of a Octaazacubane based explosive and incendiary material. It is built to punch through light vehicles and structures to blow them apart.

HE(F+)- Red Paint: a 2.2 Kg shell with 300 g of a Octaazacubane based explosive with multiple fuse options. It can be deployed with point detonation, bounding, and timed fuses.

HE(SPEC)++G- Red and Yellow Paint: a 2.35 kg laser fused airbursting shell with 170 g of an Octaazacubane based explosive. Its payload is a bunch of ball bearings, silicone oxide dust and most horifyingly Grist. It is horrific against basically anything that isn't behind hard cover.

HEAT(LG-RP)- Blue and Grey Paint: a 4.12 kg laser guided HEAT shell with a 500 g HEAT charge. Used to attack flyers, or as a sort of light AT stand-off artillery for attacking the roof of a vehicle. It can be guided from the gun itself, or from a forward designator.

Background: Flying for the Swedish air force, the B 19 is a medium bomber which was designed to replace the SAAB 18, it flies in a world where WW2 has been prolonged and Sweden had to join the allies. It was introduced in 1946.

Technical: It doesn't come with offensive armament and it's primary payload is three 500 kg bombs, it comes with a single defensive .50 cal with roughly 25 degrees of horizontal rotation.

It is equiped with tricycle landing gear, the two main ones retract into the engine nacelles and the forward one into the fuselage (the reason that a part of the nose isn't glazed with glass is because that's where the landing gear is stored, it's also off center so that a bombardier can see below and do his job).

The horizontal stabilizers are angled down and the rudders are also tilted down to give the gunner clearance to shoot at enemy aircraft.

Performance: Very similar to the SAAB 18 but it's top speed is higher coming in at 650 km/h. Range is around 3000 km and it's engines are very similar to the ones used on the 5-bladed Spitfires (Rolls Royce Griffon engine).

Advice: I was wondering if this plane would make sense for the time period and would the downwards rudders make sense or be practical?

The Imperial Self loading Rifle, Model 1935 or I-S/L-35 is a first ever semi-Automatic service rifle adopted by the Imperial army. Due to its high manufacturing cost and mechanical complexity it is only issued to experienced troops and veterans during the Great Astoran War. Chambered in 7.5 mm cartridge, the rifle feeds from a 7-round internal magazine that can be only be loaded with stripper clips. The I-S/L-35 represents Qing Dao's rapid industrial and technological advancement during the Astoran arms race.

Additional info-

• Weight: 4.6 kg
• Effective range: 500 m
• Operation: Gas-operated, semi-automatic

Well, since i just started writing a story and expanding it here’s a Little bit of lore about these fictional Mauser C96 models :

During One of the many wars the imperial states of valoria was going through in the late 1700’s, The empire faced a lack of firepower compared to other nations of that era and as a desperate measure the empire converted its famous Valkenhardt-96 Pistols into either submachine guns or carbines (Valkenhardt stands for the surename of its creator, VK for short. and 96 due to the gun being issued in 1796)

and as shown here there are two models :

Valkenhardt-96ST : Used Commonly by valorian stormtroopers and valorian trench raiders, equipped with an extended 30 Rounds Magazine housing 9x19mm’s and can be equipped with a forward grip, and the stock can be attached both ways.

Valkenhardt-96S : Used commonly by Covert units and resistance cells across occupied territories, its main purpose was assassinations from a medium range, houses a 3x Scope and a forward grip for better stability.

i hope you guys like it :333

As stated, the Equipment utilized by the Norfikan "Defence" Forces (NDF) During the "Guiled Age" Roughly equivalent to our 17-1800s.

Produced by the Tromn-Finn company, priorly known as "The Gaupmark State Armory" it has since been privatised and is now a established military contractor for the army & homeguard.

You might notice the wierd coloration of the metals. That is becuase the primary alloys used are Bronzes. The in world explanation is due to poor iron deposits in the region (Known as Thævja).
But also due to impurities in the iron itself that leads to poor performance, especially during the harsher winter months up north. A secondary, more spiritual explenation is magical corruption.

These Weapons span drastic evolution of firearms when one beings with industrialisation. Going from Flintlocks to breechloading precussions in the span of a lifetime.

I've taken some inspiration and concepts from lesser known designs from that period. That is the ideas for the "Sealed" flintlock mechanism you see in the Kjeld-Lås. Originaly a M1794 Danish Kyhl in inspiration.

The Forseth is loosely based on the Forsyth precussion bottle, alongside utilizing a 3 groove instead of 2, Brunswick style rifling with a belted ball and later on a conical bullet with lugs inspired by Kulikov bullet.

The Kammerlader is well, a Kammerlader but modified to utilize the Maynard Tape precussion system alongside a withworth inspired polygonal style bullet.

a peice i have been working on with sparkles for a while now.

Her lore that provides context for this image https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ykTjfAmrp5bXxtnZ8uIdf99BvljiLMnVkTDNf-BCteo/edit?usp=drive_link

Following the collapse of the United States in the 2070s and the rapid militarization of the world, Italy found itself relying on standardized Generation 3 Tumbler platforms distributed through the EU and UN Defense Initiative. While dependable, the machines gradually became a symbol of dependence rather than security. As neighboring powers unveiled increasingly distinctive domestic designs, public confidence began to erode. Many questioned whether Italy could truly defend itself, or if it had become a nation surviving on the weapons of others.

In response, the Italian government authorized its first indigenous humanoid combat platform: the ITM-01 Triario. The program was never intended to rival the industrial might of Germany or the technological ambitions of the East overnight. Its purpose was far simpler and far more important. It was built to prove that Italy could once again stand on its own.

Every detail of the Triario carried that singular philosophy. Rather than imitate foreign doctrines, its designers embraced the history the nation was built on. Skirting traditional approaches to modern warfare, instead centering the machine around a theoretical hybrid gun-spear. Originally drafted to function as a parade weapon. As well as an exceptionally resilient composite shield. Taking a distinct divergence compared to most atypical combat platforms. it was, at the time, a bold declaration that, should the day come, Italy possessed both the will and the means to defend itself in its own way.

A semi continuation of my last post of a similar nature. However this time you will be defending the citadel and armory on the planet Vraks from the death korps of krieg from warhammer 40K.

Just like last time you may choose any army from your world to be the defenders. However no matter what you will be facing the death korps.

The enemy’s goal is simple, reclaim the armory, the shrine of Saint Leonis the Blind located inside the citadel and 3 sisters of battle that are being held prisoner in the dungeon. The departmento munitorum has allocated enough resources to this campaign to last 12 years. Due to the heavy anti orbital defenses as well as the heavy defenses of the citadel itself, the death korps has opted to land far to the west and attempt to bombard it with artillery, overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers and possibly undermine the defenses to plant explosives or launch surprise attacks. They are fanatically loyal and will stop at nothing until their goal is achieved.

For those not familiar with 40K here’s a very basic rundown of the death korps equipment.

Each soldier wears a flak vest and helmet that is somewhat resistant to low power small arms fire (roughly equivalent to modern ballistic plate).

Their main weapon is the hellbore lasgun. A lasgun fires a concentrated laser that can severely burn flesh and easily take down unarmored opponents. It does however struggle somewhat against armor. The hellbore is a unique variant that trades a lower fire rate for higher power. Lasguns also operate off of power packs that hold dozens, possibly hundreds of shots and can be refilled just by tossing them in a fire.

The death korps may also employ various grenade launchers and shotguns.

Vehicles include the Leman Russ, Rogal dorn and Malcador medium tanks and possibly baneblade heavy tanks as well as variants thereof. There’s also the Gorgon armored assault transport, essentially a Higgins boat on tracks.

And of course there’s the artillery. They have both large howitzers and medium field artillery as well as basilisk SPGs.

Orbital bombardment will not be a factor due to the aforementioned anti space weapons.

The death korps is also able to call in reinforcements from the adeptus astartes, also called the space marines if things get really tough. Space marines can frankly be their entire own post with how much stuff they have going on but just know that most marines only show up if they feel a battle is worthy of their attention. (So if you have no super soldiers or other crazy units this is probably something you don’t have to worry about)

To list the abilities of every space marine unit would make this approximately the length of a 10 page essay, so to put it simply space marines are genetically modified supermen in power armor that’s essentially a human shaped tank.

Their main weapon is the bolter. It fires a .75cal gyrojet round that’s essentially a mini tank shell.

A space marine’s main melee weapon is a chainsword, which is… a chainsaw sword. This may not sound all that practical but their monomoleculer teeth and spinning at ludicrous speeds makes up for it.

If you’d like some more detail here’s some videos:

https://youtu.be/FurV3JHtt1o?is=HiHpnFRlFdrxYaqN

https://youtu.be/FpVtv9cA11s?is=qNSZ15sBnQI6eiXo

The citadel itself contains enough food and ammunition to last a defender 18 years (it might not be that long but it’s probably at least 14 given the shenanigans that happen around the end)

Also if you manage to get past year 10 a strange man starts wanting to talk to you. He says he and his guys can help you win. Do you take it? How does your army react when the forces of chaos show up?

It’ll take roughly 1.5-2 years for the imperium to notice what’s going on and to set up a logistical hub on the planet’s surface.

So? What’s your plan?

Edit: I completely forgot about the void shield! There are multiple shield generators protecting the citadel with overlapping areas of defense. To get through them requires either tunneling underground or a sustained attack with everything the death korps has (this can be either heavy artillery or orbital bombardment if enough defense lasers are able to be captured or destroyed)

The Imperial Model I-33 (or simply the I-33) is a bolt-action service rifle designed for the Imperial Qing Army. It is the standard infantry weapon issued to enlisted soldiers and riflemen during the Great Astoran War. Chambered in 7.5 mm ammunition, the rifle feeds from a 5-round internal magazine that can be loaded individually or with stripper clips. One of its defining features is its integrated folding bayonet, allowing soldiers to quickly transition from ranged combat to bayonet charges without attaching a separate blade. The I-33 is valued for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of mass production

I'm still new to weapon design, so I'd love feedback on the silhouette, lore, or whether the folding bayonet feels believable

(Inspired by several East Asian bolt-action rifles of the early 20th century)

Introduced in the first few years of the Markov War (2596-2607), the Horizon Arms entry into the PITCHFORK program was an absolute disaster to begin with. Its adoption was poorly-timed for the war, introducing a staggeringly complex multi-layer logistical and training conundrum to a military machine already looking down the barrel, so to speak, of a war it already knew it likely could not win. Replacing the venerable CC6, known for being extremely simple and reliable, the CL7 variant was by far the most common variant of the PITCHFORK winner adopted. Its performance in the war left troops wanting; they frequently complained of thermal issues, issues with field maintenance and repairs caused by complexity, and a plethora of problems with the new helical rail design.

Over two decades after the Colonies lost the Markov War, Horizon Design Team Alpha was tasked with making a major overhaul to the platform. The near-collapse of the CSR meant no one had altered or cancelled orders to build new factories or retool fabricator lines in order to halt PITCHFORK production in time to stop the proliferation of the CL7 and other variants, and so the team had a daunting challenge: produce an upgrade kit that makes the platform worthy of its name. Fully actualize the ambition that made it into an overengineered paperweight.

They succeeded. By the advent of the Garden War in 2667, the PITCHFORK winner and all of its variants had a few decades of an improved reputation. It is now known by its wielders for being an inherently Colonial family of weapons; brutally practical, ultra-reliable, powerful, and tough, its lines all pragmatic and perfectly-formed to balance strength and mass. More importantly, it is these qualities that allow Starborne troops to do what they are trained to do: kill tyrants.
