• 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.

UG-12-ARBP2

The UG-12-ARBP2 configuration for the UG-12 is an Assault Rifle Bull Pup configuration that was widely widely used by the Magnetic Assembly and American Union in 2320. The system has an ambidextrous safety and charging handle along with a downward ejecting ammunition port allowing the weapon to be instantly usable by both left, right, and multi-handed individuals. It uses an electronic firing system, which allows the main trigger assembly to be moved along the length of the weapon as needed. Like many of the UG-12 weapons there is also an integrated silencer to reduce firing noise.

This model also has a number of additional options including a lightweight carrying handle, additional optics, and usually a forward grip. Without the handle, the weapon has a generally has few options for enhanced optics but the primary attraction of the weapon is its light weight, compactness, and ample ammunition capacity.


History

The ARBP2 is the most modern version of the UG-12 deployed to American Union forces prior to the New Years Revolution in 2320. Delivery of the weapon came at a time when the American Union was trying to divest itself of equipment from the Magnetic Assembly so the majority of these weapons would end up being sold to the public without having been used. After the new years revolution, Stellar Arms would take over production and improvement of the UG-12 series of weapons at this point without paying royalties to the Magnetic Assembly.

Through 2320, Stellar Arms would market the UG-12-ARBP2 to every nation within the Human Sphere. This would allow the weapon to become a common sight through the Human Sphere.

The weapon system is primarily made from a generic handle grip with a battery in the hand grip, and a fire control assembly slightly above it with a safety/single/automatic fire select option. An downward ejection port is located a few centimeters behind the pistol grip, and an ambidextrous charging handle is located just above that so that the weapon can be manually cycled in case of system failure. An integrated, flip up red dot sight is located on the front of the weapon. Another rail is also located along the underside of the weapon for mounting of additional equipment or grips. The weapon's stock is a single piece with shock absorption built in, and the barrel of the weapon has an integrated suppressor system.

Some versions of the weapon also include a carrying handle with a rail to mount additional optics on top.

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.
