CCA-4630 Tactical Combat Handgun
When the UHG was first formed, the branch's Logistics And Requisitions Department put out a request for a handgun that had to meet four requirements: it had to be easy to construct, easy to use, easy to maintain, and capable of taking down hostile targets wearing standard armor. The initial obvious choice was the FLCF's 5728 Combat Handgun, since it was designed specifically to take down armored targets. But after being tested by civilians and members of the UHG, it was determined that the 5728 was too hard to construct, maintain, and handle. The advanced technology in the 5728 was nearly impossible to maintain in the field without special equipment, and the hefty weight of the weapon made it difficult for the average person to handle. The LR Department then went to the Columbia Conglomerate and requested a new weapon be created. The result of this was the CCA-4630 Tactical Combat Handgun.
The 4630 was designed exclusively for the UHG contract, and as such is wholly dissimilar from other handguns used by the other branches of the FUAF. However, in an effort to appeal to the other branches of the military, as well as police and private security firms, the Columbia Conglomerate currently produces two versions of the weapon; the bare-bones 4630-BV, and the upgraded and more advanced 4630-EV. Both versions are constructed the same which, in a manner which was intended to be as simple as possible. Like the 10B used by the CFMC, the 4630 is composed nearly entirely of Titanium-V, an extremely lightweight-yet-durable metal. The only parts not built out of Titanium-V is the grip, which is made of nanocarbon-laced polymer panels bolted onto the magazine chamber underneath. This construction pattern gives the weapon a low weight and high degree of durability. Unlike most weapons utilized by the UCR, the 4630-BV does not have nanites inside to provide lubrication; instead, the barrel is coated in a proprietary gel that technically never needs replacing. The 4630-EV forgoes this gel in favor of the same nanites used in the service weapons of the CFMC and the FLCF.
The 4630-BV is notable for the lack of the advanced built-in technologies used in other handguns. The BV features only iron sights, has no additional magnetic accelerators, and limited recoil mitigation technology. It does come standard with an under-barrel accessory mount, but the accessories in question must be acquired separately and do not come with the firearm. The 4630-EV, on the other hand, was designed to come as close to other branch's service pistols as its smaller size would allow. To this end, the EV is equipped with pop-up holographic sights, a single magnetic accelerator, a small Kinetic Energy Reclamation System, and a built-in laser/rangefinding system that can be linked to any HUD display. Both the BV and EV come with a Universal Accessory Mount on top of the weapon, since there is no slide and scopes can be used reliably.
The 4630 comes standard with a 25-round staggered-column box magazine, but can be outfitted with a 35-round magazine as well. The weapon fires 4.6x30mm "Velo" rounds, which were designed to maximize lethality and carrying capacity, while reducing weight and recoil. Velo rounds are essentially small rounds composed mostly of tungsten, designed to pierce armour and then tumble upon entry into soft tissue, causing maximum tissue damage. Due to the high velocity and heavy penetrative ability of Velo rounds, they are no fit for use aboard spacecraft or other pressure-sealed areas, and are intended for use against unarmored-to-medium armored targets only. The 4630-EV, with its magnetic accelerator, can propel the rounds even faster, providing enhanced armour penetration against vehicles and infantry.
Both versions of the weapon are fully ambidextrous, and feature safety, fire-select, and magazine release switches on both the left and right sides. The BV and EV are both capable of single-shot or 3-round burst fire.
