CCA-1590 Anti-Materiel Rifle
The CCA-1590 is the standard anti-materiel and heavy sniper rifle of the FLCF, and one of the older weapons still in service. Though it is old, the 1590 has been continually updated and is currently in its seventh iteration. Firing a heavy round, and with enough power to punch through almost every type of armor the UCR has ever faced, the 1590 has proven to be one of the most effective weapons ever fielded by the FLCF. Despite this fact, the FLCF is in the process of fielding replacement proposals for the venerable rifle, with the most promising candidate being the CCAX-004.
Unlike most weapons fielded by the the FLCF, the 1590 is crafted entirely of Titanium-VII, with only minor parts being forged from nanocarbon polymers. This results in a gun that is incredibly heavy, but also capable of withstanding harsh environments and enormous structural stress. The barrel of the 1590 is forged from a single solid chunk of cold-forged nanocarbon-threaded Tungsten-II, with an outer sheath of Titanium-V for cooling and ventilation purposes. Due to the extreme force behind each shot, the nanites that coat the inside of the barrel are much tougher than those found in other weapons; due to their enhanced heat resistance, these nanites are slower to produce the synthetic lubricant needed to keep the gun functioning smoothly, meaning that the fire rate has been electronically limited to allow downtime between shots.
The 1590 features several advanced technologies, including recoil-absorbing gel-springs in the stock, an adaptive nanopaint that can change pattern to match surrounding camouflage, and a built in holoscreen that displays ammo count, and battery charge. A built-in rangefinder/scanner and laser sight are mounted directly under the barrel, and coordinates with the gun's computer to modify how powerful of a shot is needed to reach the target. The 1590 is equipped with a built-in retractable CRA695-HK99 Scope that features digital variable-zoom with three modes; standard, thermal, nightvision. For all of these modes, the scope automatically identifies and highlights enemy targets using IFF signals. The barrel is free-floating for recoil absorption, and tipped with a three-vent muzzle break that disperses some of the heat generated by the shots.
The 1590 fires rounds via what is known as a "Hybrid-Fire" system. The initial charge for the shot comes from an electronic pulse, which propels the round down the barrel until it reaches the visible three-coil magnetic accelerator attached to the barrel. At this point the round is rapidly accelerated by a factor of ten, which makes the shot incredibly powerful but also generates an extreme amount of pressure on the barrel. This hybrid system is what gives the weapon its incredible ability to penetrate large amounts of armor, and also ensure that the heavy 15x90mm round it fires maintains a high degree of accuracy across incredibly long distances. A computer in the scope works with the nanochip in the round to stabilize it during flight.
The weapon is fed via a 5 round magazine inserted just in front of the trigger, offset slightly to the right side. The left side of the space accommodates the rifle's energy cell, the status of which is displayed on the in-scope HUD and as a glowing blue bar on the side of the gun. As told by its name, the 1590 fires the 15x90mm High-Explosive Fin-Stabilized Armor-Piercing (HEFSAP) round. When fired, the round deploys four fins to stabilize its flight path, and to provide for limited in-flight course correction capabilities. HEFSAP rounds feature a solid Tungsten-II bullet tip, behind which the bullet is packed with Compound-9 high explosive. Using the in-scope rangefinder in conjunction the nanochip embedded in the round itself, the round first penetrates the target's armor and then explodes inside, maximizing damage and destructive capability.
