CCA-5728 Combat Handgun
The CCA-5728 is a state-of-the-art handgun that is currently standard issue in the FLCF. Adopted as the CCA-58 Tactical Combat Pistol nearly five hundred years ago, the 5728 has undergone dramatic rebuilds and transformations to achieve its current and well loved form. Recently, the FLCF High Command attempted to phase out the heavy and fairly bulky 5728 in favor of the 10B used by the CFMC, but abandoned the plan after it received significant resistance from FLCF soldiers. Instead, the 5728 is undergoing a modification program to make it lighter and improve its handling ability.
The 5728 is construct of a mix of Tungsten-II and Titanium-V, while the pistol grip, and under-barrel sheath are constructed of nanocarbon polymers. The Titanium-V and nanocarbon polymers are both extremely lightweight, while the Tungsten-II that make up the barrel and firing mechanism sacrifices weight for durability. All three allow for maximum performance in a variety of adverse conditions. The inside of the barrel is line with nanites that produce a synthetic lubricant, reducing the need for maintenance and increasing reliability.
Numerous features are built into the handgun to increase its usefulness. Most prominent are the two magnetic accelerators located on either side of the barrel, which can accelerate or slow down bullets as they are fired. This system also enables the gun to fire in three-round burst mode, by rapidly accelerating three shots, one after another. Because the gun fires caseless rounds, there is no slide, and numerous scopes and sights can be attached without worry. A laser sight is built in underneath the barrel, next to an IR laser that is used in conjunction with a HUD display on most combat helmets. The large forward under-barrel sheath pulls double duty, acting as both a handgrip and a recoil buffer.
The 5728 can accept either a standard 25 round magazine, or an extended 30 round magazine. These staggered column magazines hold the weapon's 5.7x28 High Velocity Razor Rounds, which were originally designed for the CFMC but found to be too prone to over penetration, a significant risk aboard spacecraft. The Razor Round was subsequently adopted by the FLCF exactly because of this tendency for over penetration, a useful trait when faced with heavily armored opponents. The round is also lightweight and highly reliable, and many versions have been produced for both the civilian and military markets. The rounds are fired via an electronic charge, and assisted by the weapon's magnetic accelerators.
The 5728 is fully ambidextrous, with a fire selector located on both sides of the gun. It features semi-automatic and three-round burst fire, and is weight balanced for quick-draw. The internal battery lasts for five years with regular use, while the magnetic accelerators require tuning once every six months, a procedure which can be done in the field with a Magnetic Harmonizer.
