Type-82
Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127. The Type-22 Assault Rilfe is a bullpup assault rifle designed and manufactured in Tiejungo. First revealed and subsequently adopted by the Tiejungo Armed Forces (TAF) in 1553, it was designed and developed over a six-year period. Many of its design features are directly intended to counter the weaknesses of previous assault rifles as encountered operationally by some infantrymen.

History
Design
The Type-82 is made of a rugged, high impact polymer, most of the manufacturing is done utilising CNC machines, with ultrasonic welding for the steel-reinforced receiver halves and the gun barrel being cold hammer forged. The translucent magazine allows precise assessment of current ammo load.
The Type-82 is also the first production assault rifle of its class to incorporate a built-in Laser Aiming Device (LAD) and Fire Control Computer (FCC). It has a 5 position switch which can emit a visible beam at high or low power. It can also be set to "steady on" or "momentary on" which is triggered with the use of a pressure switch activated with the user's left thumb. The rifle incorporates various patented safety features, such as a Kevlar cheek plate and overpressure vent that protects the shooter in the event of a chamber explosion or catastrophic failure.[3][9] It also has an integral 1.5x optical scope that is built into its carrying handle (A 3.0x version is also available). The scope aids in target acquisition, particularly under low light conditions. The scope is factory-zeroed, and requires minimal further zeroing to suit different users.
