KN-44

The KN-44 is the most successful product of corporate espionage on record, as its blueprints were stolen from the original Russian designer in 2036 and have since spread around the world. The KN-44 is fast and easy to produce, making it ubiquitous amongst forces worldwide with a need to quickly arm large numbers of riflemen.

The KN weapon design affords production plants their choice of quality of parts, meaning that even though all KN-44 parts are interchangeable, there is no guarantee any two KN-44 rifles around the world will perform the same. Since there is no standard, the designation "KN-44" is typically given to any rifle of military issue fitting the KN pattern. The KN-44 is highly customizable, and its standard pattern offers a good balance of stopping power, performance at range, and rate of fire. A properly built KN-44 with the right modifications can easily meet the performance demands of the modern infantryman.

Standard Modifications: None.
