==Extra Info==
The Gevehr 393 (Hipolyte German for Rifle 393 ) served as one of the standard issue Hipolyte Armed Forces infantry weapons during the Hipolyte Wars of 2399 C.E. to 2404 C.E. Designed in 2393 C.E. by Johan François Vonn Kastelman, an ethnic Hipolyte who did not support the Hipolyte independence movement, the plans for this weapon were seized by Hipolyte paramilitary forces at Vonn Kastelman's workshop at the Stewart Ryder Military Academy at the beginning of Hostilities. When Vonn Kastelman himself refused to aid them, he was sent to a "Dangerous Citizens" concentration camp.
After Vonn Kastelman's deportation, production was taken over by Doctor George Valkeirençeau, later to achieve fame with his design for the postwar S-11 submachine gun system, who began to modify the Gevehr 393's design for military service. Additions included a Dittmar-Reniger computer aim assist, a new 22-round magazine, a digital ammo counter, and a HWF A-62 optical scope. This version, designated Gevehr 393 Ausfürung A , entered service in mid-2399 C.E. This version remained in service for the duration of the war, though an improved version, the Ausfürung B , and an emergency variant, the Volksgevehr 404A , partially superseded it as the war went on.
The Gevehr 393 bore a superficial resemblance to the Twentieth Century battle rifle the Fabrique Nationale FAL, whose simple operation and rugged design was drawn on as an inspiration by Vonn Kastelman during his initial designs. The configuration of the weapon was largely similar, with a full stock, standard configuration, and a nearly identical in appearance box magazine, though the primary difference was its advanced lever-delayed blowback system, similar to that found on the late-Twentieth Century FAMAS, as opposed to the gas-operated system of the FAL.
To load and ready the G393 for fire, one would first grasp the charging handle on the left side of the weapon and pull it back till it clicks and there is no more resistance. One would then insert the standard 22-round box magazine into the magazine well. One would then push the charging handle forward until it locks into place in it's forward position. One would then push the ambidextrous select-fire switch into the firing position, and the gun is ready to fire.
