MK-17

The SMCR-HSMCR is a 7.62mm Battle rifle made by Rubicon Corporation and was used in Operation Sandstorm, Panamoan-Evalkan War, Black Pegasus. It is part of the SMCR weapon platform and was officially known as the MK-17 in military and commercial sales.
==History==
In March 7, 2014; A small number of Panamoan Army soldiers were suggesting a new weapon platform, however, General Kingpin initially disagreed to the suggestion, as the 5.56mm cartridge is more than enough to be accurate at long ranges. He also said to the soldiers that the 7.62x51mm SDC caliber can create intense recoil on a rifle when firing in full auto.
Rubicon Corporation started to develop the initial prototype; the Rampart 762. It is part of their "SMCR weapon system, and it was chambered for the hard hitting 7.62mm SDC caliber. They implemented a 9090 Titanium Alloy rifled barrel as a standard, and it was notable to have a foldable and adjustable buttstock. The stock tunnel has a cheek pad for comfortable aiming position. 
Although the designers were pointing out the weapon's mild recoil, they did not do anything about it, since the Marines would be disappointed again if a 7.62mm Rifle will replace a good 5.56mm rifle. The initial product was retrofitted with a highly reinforced (Lightweight) Polymer Body, to reduce the overall weight and made it user friendly.
Although the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps accepted the weapon into service, they simply utilised it as another Designated Marksman Rifle and standard battle rifle. It was also available into limited numbers of Panamoan Army soldiers, and was praised without any criticisms and malfunctions. Only Female Soldiers/marines despised the large size of the weapon.
After the end of the Nexus-Boreas War, the infamous warmongering terrorist, "Black Pegasus" waged war on the entire planet, causing, catastrophic consequences and prevented Nexus Prime to participate in off world activities and conflicts, he formed an army, officially known as the 'Pegasus Rising United' in which they carry the brutal oppression of 'Black Pegasus'. PRU insurgents were lucky to steal MK-17s as their "Sniper Rifles".

The MK-17 is sometimes found on the Panamoan Army or the Marines, mostly being used by urban units, in a CQB barrel. Not to mention the PRU has stolen a lot of the MK-17's DMR Variant: the MK25 SSR. The MK-17 is rare and easy to run out of ammunition, so if the anyone
wanted to keep it, they should make every shot count.
The MK-17 is typically found with no optical sights, but always comes with a multitude of underbarrel attachments.. It is physically impossible to obtain a MK-17 with a non magnified optical sight, The MK-17 DMR is extremely prominent when utilised up from PRU Snipers in "Down the Kaffarov".
