ARMED FORCES OF ROSKANA
STANDARD INFANTRY RIFLES
SIR Model-1
A breech-loading infantry rifle, developed in 1865. The weapon fires 11.43×55R. It is not in common use with the armed forces outside of Ceremonial roles, but substantial stocks of the weapons and their ammo still exist.
Known as 'Reliable' by tsarists from the 1860s, 70s, and 80s, the weapon was phased out by the second model of the SIR, which was adopted in 1889. Developed by the now-defunct Royal Arms, with the design owned by the government and a limited production license issued to B&A. Single-shot, reloaded after each round.
SIR Model-2
Developed and adopted by the Tsar's army to meet the needs of infantry forces, the SIR M2 was distributed to the armed forces of the Tsardom and the first rifle chambered in 30-06R. Simplistic and reliable, the SIR M-2 has been in use since the early 1890s, up to the present day. There are civilian variants and vast stocks of military-grade rifles in storage. It uses the most prolific ammo in the nation, making it generally a good choice for a infantry rifle, and up until recently it was the main service rifle of the country. It has been replaced by the SIR M3. It is produced by B&A Armories, under license from the Roskanan government. Holds 10 rounds in the magazine, plus one in battery.
SIR Model-3
The Sir M3 was adopted in 1935, and has become the primary infantry rifle of Roskana. It is a semi-automatic rifle, with both export and domestic variants in production, though either model is used by the armed forces. The M3 is chambered in 30-06 to take advantage of the prolific nature of the round and ammo, as well as the massive production lines that exist for it at present. It is the first semi-auto combat rifle in full service with the Roskanan military. It was developed by B&A Armories and Tanus Armaments. Tanus arms produces the Export Variant, while the Domestic Variant is produced by B&A Armories. Internal magazines have a capacity of 12 rounds and are fed by striper clips.
Marksman Rifles
SMR-M1
The SMR-M1 is a modification of the SIR M2 with an attached scope and a lighter bolt-action, using 30-06 like most others. It is issued to marksmen and snipers, and is still in service.
SIR-M3MV
The SIR-M3MV is the Marksman Variant of the SIR-M3, with an attached scope and a bipod, as well as a longer barrel. It is issued to marksmen and snipers. Uses 30-06.

Squad Support Weaponry
SMG-1 Oglavi
A submachine gun design, produced domestically, made by Tanus Arms. The weapon is based on Marrish designs obtained before the end of the war. The weapon is chambered in .45 ACP and is used primarily as a squad support weapon, but is well-liked for reliability in close quarters, though it is inaccurate at medium and long ranges and is best used in close quarters. It is often called 'the bullet hose'. In production since 1935. Has a 50-round magazine.
Gladius M1
An Anti-Tank rifle obtained from Marrish designs and produced domestically as a local derivative, with adaptations made for Roskanan use. It is chambered in 7.92x107mm RDS. It is relatively effective against most light armor and vehicles but struggles against medium and heavy armor, best used to engage from the back or sides if necessary. The Gladius has been in production since late 1935. Produced by Tanus Arms. Single-shot, reload after each round.
Man-Portable Recoilless-RAT
A shoulder-mounted launcher for a high-velocity shell. It uses 84mm Armor-Piercing ammunition, that ejects counter-mass out of the back of the weapon when it fires, providing almost no recoil when fired. It is meant to allow infantry to engage medium and heavy armor with some effectiveness. Designed in 1935, and produced from 1936 on. Produced by B&A Armories. Single-shot, must be reloaded before firing again.
Tolmolov MPM-1
The Tolmolov MPM-1 is a light machine gun in use with the Roskanan military, designed in 1930 and produced since. It uses the standard 30-06 common to most Roskanan small arms. It uses a bag magazine usually, and is belt-fed, but may have a box magazine. It was designed by and is produced by Tanus Arms. Bag-mags and box mags have a capacity of 130 rounds each respectively, though belts can generally be however long if linked together.
Korhal FP1
A flamethrower, produced by Tanus Arms subsidiary Korhal Armament Plants. It uses a three-tank design with one containing fuel, two containing propellant, and a high-pressure nozzle with a flexible pipe to deliver fire upon the enemy. It is used primarily by engineers and sappers.
Shotguns
SIS-2
While there was a 'First Sister', the design was lost in a fire at the B&A Plant in Thermala in 1909. The SIS-2 was put into production the same year, after being accepted for use by the Roskanan Army as a close-quarters weapon of war. It has been in production since, and uses standard 12-gauge buckshot. They as well can fire slugs. It is produced by B&A Armories, and civilian variants are produced by Legion Sporting Goods. It can hold 6 shells, including one in battery.
