Brief Background:

The Warrior 5Z is the current and all purpose assault rifle of the Constitutional Empire. It is also the fifth generation of Warrior assault rifles and the second to use the 6.5 Caliber (first was the Warrior 4R). Previous models used the 6.8 Remington. The Warrior 5Z was shown to be very reliable as it has been in all conditions; from hot to cold, sand to mud, water to ice, dirt to rocks; it has survived all. A slightly larger opening on the side of the gun allows the cartridges to leave reality more easily. Holes on the heat protector around the barrel allows for easier cooling as well as special gel, thinly put into the plastic, allows for further cooling, and even a slight warm up in colder climates. It is remarkably light, incorporating polymers that decreases the weapons weight. The 6.5 Grendel delivers excellent performances in all ranges, especially at long ranges. Magazines range from 10, 20, 30, 45, 50, and 100. Buffers makes the recoil low so a solider can fire on full auto without a problem. It is like the Warrior 4R except with a different hand guard and much lighter. A soldier can carry 420 rounds (14 magazines) plus 30 rounds in the gun already. Despite being the popular military weapon of choice (97%), it is also popular with private citizens and comes in a variety of other calibers.
