The Rædhfil-Type-9 is a gas operated automatic rifle developed in Sahr by the Adaman Armoury.

History

In the midst of the Chevspendic Invasion the new Sahren nation gained access to the domestic Egercian industry, and sought to begin mass factory production of its domestic designs which were previously artisanally constructed. In 2109 a finalised design was decided on which contained aspects from most existing rifles and was put into mass production.

The rifle is direct-impingement, gas operated and automatic fire. The Rædhfil-Type-9 was manufactured on principle of austerity and as such contains no plastics or fiberglass, resulting in a wooden construction and an extensive weight of 3.6 kilograms. The rifle fires from a 20 round aluminium box magazine. Adjustable iron sights make up the only method of targetting, as it lacks implements to mount anything else. A large muzzle brake at the end directs gases upward in an effort to reduce recoil. Rounds enter the rifle from the bottom and eject out the top of the rifle, which was a cavalry oriented feature taken directly from the MP.æ-Type-11. A bayonet of two feet length comes standard, as it was expected these would act as pikes for resisting dragoon charges.

War of the Egercias

During the war the type-9 showed inferiority to foreign models in almost every category, but was either on par or superior to the domestically produced rifles of Kravsmad and Medraria.
