CCA-5746 Personal Automatic Weapon
The CCA-5746 is the mainstay of the UHG's "Easy-Forge Weapons". Though nearly identical in size to its older and more high-tech cousin the 785A, the 5746 is technically classified as a Personal Automatic weapon and features a much smaller round and much higher rate of fire than the 785A. Also unlike the 785A, the 5746 was designed to be minimalistic and and simple in form and function. With a skeletal stock, all-metal construction, and very few complicated technologies, the 5746 has been met with universal acclaim by all who use it.
The entire body of the 5746 is constructed from the midweight metal Tungsten-II, with minor parts of the firing mechanism constructed from Titanium-V. The weapon is vacuum-sealed against all external environmental factors to prevent jamming and misfires, and can be fired underwater or in a vacuum. The barrels are all coated with nanites that produce a constant synthetic lubricant to keep the weapon firing smoothly, an especially important factor due to the weapon's incredibly high rate-of-fire. These nanites are Generation VI nanites, which are capable of limited self-regeneration and therefore do not need to be replaced manually. Thanks to its simplistic design, the 5746 can be constructed at essentially any nanoforge, as can replacement parts for quick in-field repairs.
The 5746 lacks most of the highly advanced technologies found on other weapons, though this is made up for by it's most notable feature; the Triple-Barrel Internal Rotation System. This system is a unique one, where the external barrels remain stationary but an internal magnetic-driven rotation mechanism contained with the receiver rotates to feed each of the barrels in turn. Each of the three barrels fires one shot per rotation of the internal mechanism, and gives the weapon a rate of fire of between 950 and 1100 rounds per minutes, depending on adjustments made by the user to the gun's mechanical rotational limiter. This design was chosen over an external rotation system that, while simpler, would have made the weapon more vulnerable to jamming or mechanism failures. The internal design also allows for the rotation mechanism to simultaneously load, chamber, and fire rounds in a single action.
The weapon fires the specially designed 5.7x46mm High Velocity Low Caliber Impact Round from a 150-round helical magazine inserted directly into the rear of the receiver. These rounds are designed to puncture body armor and then "tumble" upon entering the organic tissue, causing maximum damage and bringing down the target in just a few shots. The Impact Rounds can also penetrate lightly armored vehicles and when large numbers of the rounds are fired at a single spot, they are capable of penetrating medium-strength armor. Like all rounds used in the military the Impact Rounds are caseless and fired via electric charge, however in order to achieve a much higher velocity than normal, these rounds use a synthetic charge twice the size as usual.
A universal attachment rail is located at the top of the rear receiver that can accommodate all variety of scopes and other such attachments. The stock can be modified to utilize a more sophisticated shock-absorbing system if desired, though this does require a minor refit of the stock's structure.
