Fiction:United Knights Alliance/Technology/UKA Battle Rifles

History and Description
The United Knights Alliance Battle Rifles, or UKA-BRs for short, are a series of ballistic and plasma based projectile battle rifles that are used by the various military personnel of the United Knights Alliance. Even though each rifle has its own name designation and functions, most military personnel of the UKA simply refer to all of them as a "UKA Battle Rifle". The first UKA-BR to see use was the UKA-BR/SR-01. It first used during the Nebulorian-Alpha War of 2754 AD. The most recent battle rifle to see combat was the UKA-BR/P2A2BR-10, which was carried into battle by UKA soldiers that were promoted into Olympians during the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment's reclamation of Matrukoris 2807 AD.

UKA-BRs were originally gas operated or semi-automatic rifles that shot ballistic projectiles. More recent UKA-BRs are both semi-automatic and fully automatic, utilizing a open bolt automatic loading system. The more recent variants can also be modified to fire either plasma-based projectiles or ballistic projectiles. All UKA-BRs feature a pistol-grip and UKA Quick-Eject Magazines, be it plasma cartridges or box-magazines for bullets. Most UKA-BRs are constructed of plasma-resistant ceramic coated steel. More heavy duty variants are made of plasma-resistant ceramic coated Ukanium, an alloy of steel, titanium, and asconium.

The United Knights Alliance offers it's battle rifles to allied forces within the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment, though usually they only do this exclusively for the UAE's elite units such as the Olympians.

UKA-BR/SR-01
The UKA-BR/SR-01, also known as the Version One Storm Rifle (or simply as the V-One), is a semi-automatic burst fire battle rifle that was used during the Nebulorian-Alpha war of 2754 AD. It was the very first battle rifle developed by the United Knights Alliance. The rifle is gas operated and fires 5.55 mm ballistic rounds. The magazine size for the UKA-BR/SR-01 is typically 35 bullets per magazine, however some soldiers have been known to pay for custom sized magazines at the cost of a heavier equipment load. The use of this battle rifle has declined as of 2760, as more efficient and advanced variants have been produced since then.

UKA-BR/SR-07
The UKA-BR/SR-07, also known as the Version Seven Storm Rifle (or simply the V-Seven), is the UKA's first hybridized battle riffle. It was first used by Volver Knight units and King Brygon in 2773 AD during the final battles of the Enlightenment War during the The UKA-BR/SR-07 is an open load semi-automatic and automatic burst fire rifle, allowing the wielder to switch between both depending on the situation. It is also capable of holding and firing both ballistic rounds and super-heated high velocity plasma rounds, though not at the same time. It also features compatibility options with the UKA Knight Helm's interface, allowing the wielder to switch between firing modes with a single thought. The rifle is popular among the elite forces of the UKA due to it's versatility and effectiveness.

UKA-BR/EVBR-02
The UKA-BR/EVBR-02, also known as the Version Two Extreme-Velocity Ballistic Rifle (or known simply as the V2-Eradicator) is a gas operated fully automatic battle rifle that fires high impact ballistic rounds. This rifle was first used on the battlefield in 2762 AD during the Second Infectant War in the hands of Nataak UKA Soldiers. This battle rifle was based on the most advanced variant of Hyperon SKR Assault Rifle, eventually replacing it entirely. It features a drum magazine that holds three hundred 7.95 mm ballistic rounds and can fire at a rate of 100 r/m (rounds per minute). It also has a rotating bolt, which is operated by a gas powered piston within the rifle. The UKA-BR/RVBR-02 fires "extreme-velocity" high-impact rounds at speeds of up to 2000 meters per second. This typically shreds right through materials such as thin Ballistic Nylon and some lightweight metals. Due to the sheer power of the rifle, the recoil is quite difficult to control. As a result, its wielders must be physically strong enough to control the rifle's recoil in order to use it effectively, so Soldarians and Nataak are the primary soldiers who carry it into battle.
