• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

The UG-12-AR5 is an assault rife version of the UG-12 weapon system that was accepted into Union service early in 2319. It is also one of the smallest 'full size' version of the UG-12 weapon systems produced.

History

The AR5 version of the UG-12 series of weapons was designed in 2318 and largely accepted into use by 2319. Production of the weapons would stop in 2320 as newer iterations were introduced. The weapon can still be found in the civilian market, and an ample supply of spare parts is available coming from the factories that build the newer models of the weapon.

Layout

The AR5 version of the weapon is one of the incremental upgrades to the UG-12 platform. The attachment rails have been slightly redesigned, and an ejection shroud has been placed over the ejection port to better direct any excess away from the user's hands should a malfunction occur. The charging handle has also been moved downward slightly to bring it more in line with the mechanism that it operates to improve reliability. Unlike later models the stock can be removed.

Usage


Though the weapon can accommodate a range of ammunition, the Mag-12 typically fires subsonic rounds tipped with a HESH explosive. This makes it most suitable for short-range fire and indoors combat as its rounds typically create a very powerful but very shallow wound channel without over-penetrating into anything behind the target. The standard round also performs very poorly against armor, but will still usually injure the wearer and chip away at the armor with multiple hits rather than being defeated entirely.

This makes the weapon well suited for use in ship to ship boarding actions, urban combat, or confined spaces. The low recoil and ease of control also makes it very suitable for use by minimally trained personnel.

Ammunition


MA-5.56mm
