ANK 94

A centuries old lineage given a modern platform for the new century. The ANK-94 is a decendant of the Avtomat Kalashnikov line of automatic rifles, first produced in the soviet union in 1947. During the mass exodus from the Sol system, many slavic peoples migrated to outer UAF colonies, where the untamed planets required a rifle with sufficiant stopping power and durability. Thus, began the ANK line. The ANK-94, as the name may imply, was put into formal production in 2194. The rifle fires 7.62x42 bullets out of a standardized 30 round magazine. Many irregular forces, colonists, Private Military Contractors, Security Firms and other such organizations favor the rifle for it's low cost, and ease of use. Many members of the Army of God on mars have been supplied the rifles by the known Arms runner, and survivor of the U.S.S. Genesis incident, CryoAnon, as of February 19th, 2219.
