Type 70 assault rifle

The Type 70 assault rifle is an assault rifle developed by Korori Arsenal for the Mirialan Commonwealth Defense Force.
== Overview ==
The Type 70 is an adaptation of the 8.25x41mm Type 46 assault rifle and features several important design improvements. These improvements were primarily the result of converting the rifle to the intermediate-calibre high velocity 6.5x41mm cartridge. The earliest prototypes were converted Type 46s, re-barreled to 6.5mm. Compared with the preceding Type 46, the Type 70 has better effective firing range, accuracy (a main development goal), and reliability. Approximately 50% of the parts in the Type 70 and Type 46 are the same (including pins, springs and screws).
