Object 25 - Project Akademi - An Experimental Electromagnetic Assault Rifle

Primary Design

An experimental rifle has been designed within Chernobyl utilizing both electromagnetic energy as well as a combustion firing mechanism. A standard combustion-method of firing a projectile is utilized for the initial shot which is then guided and followed by an electromagnetic railgun to accelerate the projectile while creating a closed electrical circuit.

The rifle itself exists with two magazines, one being a small capacitor magazine and another being 30 5.56x45mm rounds. This is the ideal method as of right now.

Figure Tests

On the first attempt of firing once constructed, the capacitor charging the rails was proven to be too low of a yield and immediately drained without any conclusive results to the velocity of the projectile. This was immediately mended and a higher-powered capacitor was supplied within the day.

On the first trial, hyper velocity was recorded at 2,500m/s, the projectile passing Mach 7.2. However, the capacitor was drained and the parallel rails on the rifle were immediately bent. The projectile had impacted a 6-meter ballistic gelatin target but barely penetrated, air-drag being the largest concern. The first rifle design would have to be reworked if the barrel is to complete functionality, as well as the initial rail design.

The first test seemed to actually slow down the projectile instead of speeding it up.

Design Closed.

Object 26

A new rifle was designed with reinforced rail-system to keep them parallel and balanced. Further, a larger capacitor is being used but due to firing concerns, we will be using an especially designed drum-magazine. 3/4ths of the magazine exists as the capacitor with the other being able to wield 20 hand-fed 5.56x45mm rounds.

Approximately four rounds were shot until the capacitor was drained but the results were more than adequate. The ballistic gel was penetrated up to one-meter by a stationary and remote-fired 26. Hypervelocity was recorded of up to 1,600m/s at a range of 15 meters, however the gases from the combustion systems still warrant an issue as does long-range testing. Testing for Object 26 seems far more fruitful than before, however.

A new capacitor will be sought after but research into this will take approximately 6-months for results.

Object 27

Instead of a capacitor, an impulse-current generator was used, however it was far too intensive to be shortened. So, two methods are being used to define the rifle into “27-A” and “27-B”.

• 27-A

A Marx-Generator is made on the rifle itself but cannot be manually operated. (This is a kink we will work out at a later date.)

It is fitted with eight insulation shields, directing all of the electrical energy into the rails which propel the projectile but is theoretically able to be wielded by an individual once a safe-handling method is constructed.

The projectile exhausted here is a special, ferromagnetic slug by a helical magazine theoretically capable of ignoring protective armour, not only for infantry use but also for armoured vehicle penetration. It will be completed by August of next year.

• 27-B

The 27-B is a backpack-mobile Marx Generator system, ensuring maximum deliverance of power to the rails at the expense of mobility. Logistically, it exists unsound to replace anything but is being worked on due to its scientific importance. The 27-B will be completed by September.

Small Arms Budget for 2027 - $1.6 billion

The project is expected to become over budget for the 2027 FY by $400 million. Funding is still submitted.

Exoskeleton - The Super Soldiers

Fort has also begun working on designs previously shared by the United States and its DARPA Directorate. The 3rd Spetsnaz Regiment from Kiev were pulled to Chernobyl to assist with the testing as Ukraine begins to work and prepare on its first own domestic expo-suit design.

Several designs were being made but the request to receive some of DARPA’s current existing designs and plans was submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Project Budget for 2027 $2 billion.
