Description

Something I've been wanting to do for a while now, giving the M-50C rifle model a much needed re-model after a long time. This is one of the oldest models I have and has gone through several different iterations overtime (this is the 4th version of it actually), but I think with this new one I've really hit a solid design that fits with the new cleaner style of UES weaponry. Not that the older model was particularly horrible, but it was just looking kinda dated by now, and I tried to keep a few design elements from the older model on this new one. Thinking of doing a cool "spec ops" variant of this complete with a scope and some useful attachments sometime soon as well.

Full Designation: M-50C Optimized Infantry Assault Weapon
Manufacturer: Sparta Armories
Type: Assault rifle
Introduced: 2350
Magazine capacity: 36 rounds
Firing mode: Semi-automatic, 3 round burst, automatic
Cartridge: HP M2 6 x 55 mm HV
Effective range: 880 meters
Max effective range: 1,000 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 3,937 ft/sec

One of a few weapons introduced into the UESDC (Union of Earth-held Systems Defense Coalition) specifically to combat the Exohuman threat, the M-50C endured a few years of extensive development in HP industries facilities to turn it into the best possible weapon it could be. Engineered for medium-long range combat, precise bullet placement and particularly optimized for 3 round burst firing, the M-50C was quickly favored by many sharpshooters in the UES military. The 3rd rifle system designed and manufactured by Sparta Armories, the M-50C represents a sort of "middle ground" between the other standard rifles in the UES. While much more accurate and long range capable than the standard issue HP-45A1, it is also larger and fires less powerful rounds. On the other hand, compared to the other most popular rifle the M-48 Hercules battle rifle (another Sparta Armories rifle), the M-50C is lighter, shorter, fires faster and has more rounds in its magazines, however the M-48 is considerably more powerful due to its 9 x 55 mm rounds and has a longer range. Despite its shortcomings when compared to other rifles, the M-50C has definitely proved its worth in the UES and has risen in the years since its introduction as an extremely well rounded and deadly tool of war, able to cut down the Exohumans infesting Earth's ruined cities before they even see the shooter.

nicely designed
perhaps have the iron sights inside the carry handle like the m16 does? That would make the overall outline more smooth. And it looks like the sights could catch on clothing, etc.
