AGL-11: The New Kid In Town

A flexible system, this weapons system is a rather unique one, chambered for 40x53mm caseless, which is a unique change in more conventional cartridge design. Yet, this also allowed for higher velocities and ranges, hitting all the requirements of the AGL program, while also offering a unique design for KTO forces as a new standard. Using disintegrating belts, the system can be mounted to vehicles in place of the 14.7x114mm LMG, in an RCWS for the sake of keeping the commander safe. With a range of 2,700 meters, muzzle velocity of 270m/s, and a ROF hitting 400 RPM which offers plenty to the ones using it.

With full auto, burst (10 round), and semi-auto firing modes, along with an open bolt gas system, the AGL is rather easy to maintain, even if some may question the open bolt design as unconventional. Yet, the prototype model used this, while the production model uses the same system with a dust cover to ensure that gunk doesn't just fly in.

Regardless, belts of 30, 50 rounds are typically used though at times infantry would opt to carry multiple 20 rounds belts in a "tin can" for the sake of lugging around ammo without carrying it around exposed. Given a minimum crew of 4 can quickly set it up within minutes and take it down in half the time, it's quite flexible, being carried by all four as well, almost making it no different from a standard mortar team!

Finally, the low weight and flexibility has been toyed with, offering a weapon that all divisions can use, given the vast array of warheads available: Chemical weapons, smoke, incendiary, high explosive, armor piercing, even multipurpose rounds that can be programmed to airbust or used to engage helicopters!
