Indigenously Manufactured Small Arms

Pistols

P-56 Pistol

The P-56 is the standard sidearm of all branches of the Sjerti Armed Forces. Easily manufactured, extremely accurate, and simple to maintain, the P-56 is the ideal weapon to equip the legions of conscript soldiers in the Sjerti Guard. As the P-56 is a smaller, lighter, and more easily manufactured weapon than the K-3 revolver, most newly-drafted Guardsmen are issued the P-56 while noncomissioned officers are issued the K-3. Though inexpensively manufactured, the P-56 extremely efficient weapon. Its design ensures that most stresses are absorbed within the gun (which results in a low recoil) and in tests the pistol has maintained its effectiveness up to 6,000 rounds without requiring cleaning.

K-3 Revolver

Though officially out of service venerable K-3 Revolver still frequently appears on the battlefields of the Sjerti inner conflict: on both sides.

Firing a hugely powerful .357 magnum cartridge, the K-3 is often favored over the P-56 by both SPIM and Sjerti personnel. It is commonly used by Sjerti officers in combat and to execute SPIM prisoners in a dramatic fashion (The results are often, as one Sjerti Liutenant put it "Rather messy"). The revolver is also considered to be far more accurate than its smaller caliber counterpart, the P-56.

Rifles

Sk-4 Rifle

The standard-issue rifle of the Sjerti Guard since 2086, the Sk-4 is a simple but effective weapon.

The Srojeti Kjereve (Ingliz: Service Rifle) 4 or Sk-4 rifle is a manually operated, magazine fed, controlled-feed bolt-action rifle. This weapon is 1,250 mm (49 in) in length and 4.09 kg (9 lb) in weight. It has a 740 mm (29 in) long rifled barrel and carries 5 rounds of 7.92x57mm ammunition in an internal magazine. The Sk-4 has two swivels for sling mouting, open front sights, and a Verasitij type tangent rear sight.

A noteworthy feature of the Sk-4 is its strong bolt action system. With a large rotating claw extractor, 3 locking lugs, and a gas shield, this system is both strong and extremely safe (The gas shield deflects hot gases and debris away from the users face in cases of cartridge explosions).

Variants

Several variants of Sk-4 exist.

• Sk-4T: The Tavjrin, or carbine variant.

• Sk-4Z: The Zneijpir, or marksman variant.

K-57 Assault Rifle

The Sjerti-Designed K-57 assault rifle is the standard selective-fire assault rifle of the armed forces in Sjertiva. The rifle assumed this role in 2116, replacing the Odessan AR-4 in service. However, the K-57 is typically only issued to higher-ranking enlisted soldiers, due to production costs and high casualty rates amongst new conscripts (These soldiers are typically issued the Sk-4).

The rifle is fairly simple in its design, and was designed to be so as most of its users (perhaps with the exception of the marines and enforcer corps) are conscripts or militiamen. A complex weapon would be a hindrance in the hands of inexperienced soldiers. Its blowback action is more akin to that of a sub-machine gun or pistol, and as such is more easily understood by those used to smaller caliber weapons.

Despite its simplicity, the K-57's cartridge has proven to be incredibly effective in combat situations. Though FMJ ammunition is most common amongst Sjerti Guardsmen, Enforcers or Marines may be issued with specialist ammunition such as armor piercing or incendiary rounds. Specialist rounds such as these are often effective against the improvised armored cars and vehicles encountered amongst Revolutionary forces. Unfortunately, the round's high recoil prevents full-automatic fire from being effective at long range, and as such has earned it the nickname "The Mule" for its merciless kick (which is worsened when compounded with the rifle's metal buttplate).

Variants

• K-57M: Standard issue rifle. Semi and fully automatic fire.
• K-57T: Training version. Semi-automatic only. Common amongst militiamen.
• K-57S: Designated marksman version. Semi-automatic only. 4x Optical Scope mounted standard.
• K-57G: "Grenadier" variant. Semi and fully automatic. Shorter barrel and rifle grenade adapter.
• K-57A: "Assault" variant. Semi and fully automatic. Heat-shielded heavy barrel, often fitted with extended capacity magazines to serve as squad light machine guns.

Machine Guns

Submachine Guns

Light Machine Guns

MG-26

Typically mounted on aircraft, the MG-26 machine gun's infantry service role stemmed from the efforts of one SRAF squadron in the Inner Conflict. Stranded at their airbase, surrounded by encroaching SPIM forces, running short on ammunition for their rifles and pistols, the airfield's armorers quickly devised a plan. Through removing several MG-81 machine guns from the fighters and some hasty field modifications (The attaching of a crude wood block for a buttstock, the fitting of a rudimentary trigger system), the armorers equipped the ground crews with lethal rapid fire light machine guns. Though finally being slain by waves of SPIM armored vehicles, the few MG-26 ground crew members were credited with over 200 enemy kills and all were posthumously awarded the Argent Cross for bravery.

The MG-26 is, as with most Sjerti weapons, cheaply manufactured, easily maintained, and lethal.

General Purpose Machine Guns

MG-24

The MG-24 machine gun is the current general-purpose machine gun of the Sjerti armed forces, designed to replace the MG-22. Common, cheap to manufacture, and effective in combat, the MG-24 is a favorite amongst the guardsmen who use it. It is widely reffered to the nickname Kvijpe', or "zipper" due to the distinctive noise it makes when it fires (Which is widely compared to that of a zipper). The buttstocks on these weapons are more than often made of wood salvaged from destroyed buildings, making production inexpensive and giving the guns a distinctly weathered appearance straight out of the factory.

Currently, Kjanet Arms denies any claim that the MG-24 is in fact a reverse-engineered MG-3 from Odessa.

Heavy Machine guns

JaKA-15 Autocannon

The JaKA-15 Autocannon is the standard heavy machine gun/autocannon of the Sjerti ground forces. Rather than use 12.7mm guns for squad support, the War Bureau opted to utilize a heavier-caliber weapon. Though weighty at 60kg, the JaKA-15 is viciously effective in combat, firing a powerful 15.5mm round capable of easily killing infantry and destroying light vehicles and armored personnel carriers. Commonly nicknamed "Reaper" by its crews, the JaKA-15 is currently deployed with numerous Sjerti guard squads in all major inner conflict battlegrounds.

AR-4SJ

The Odessan AR-4 is still in limited second-line service with the Sjerti Guard. Widely considered to be an effective and efficient weapon by its users, it is preffered by guardsmen fighting in close-quarters urban conditions. Though it fires a smaller, less powerful cartridge than the larger K-57 and Sk-4, its lower recoil and smaller size make it more suited for urban combat conditions.

The AR-4SJ is manufactured in limted numbers in Sjertiva, and is identical to the weapon from which it was based in all aspects except manufacturer markings.
