AL91 LSW

The is the light machine gun configuration on the M85 MWS. But it relies on magazine rather than being belt fed, therefore designated as a Light Support Weapon.
==Design==
The AL91 Light Support Weapon (LSW) is a magazine-fed squad automatic weapon originally intended to provide fire support at a fireteam level. The weapon has a heavier, longer barrel than the rifle and features a shorter handguard with an integrated bipod protruding from the front. The stock has a shoulder strap to take the weapon's weight in the prone position and a rear vertical grip for better control of the weapon when firing bursts. The weapon is otherwise identical to the AL85 version on which it is based, and the same magazines and sighting systems are used. In addition to Aryan Royal Forces use, the LSW was also adopted by MOD-sponsored cadet organisations.
The increased barrel length and bipod give the weapon excellent accuracy, increased muzzle velocity and greater effective range; In fact it is far more accurate than standard MK16A4 non free floated rifles. From its inception, the AL91 was a target of criticism on much the same basis as the AL85. The LSW has the additional issue (shared by any light support weapon derived from a rifle, for example the heavy-barrel GE Lugere) of its inability to deliver sustained automatic fire as it lacks a belt feed.
The M85 modular weapon system is a selective fire gas-operated design that uses ignited powder gases bled through a port in the barrel to provide the weapon's automation. The rifle uses a short-stroke gas piston system located above the barrel, which is fed gas through a three-position adjustable gas regulator. The first gas setting is used for normal operation, the second ("Excess") is for use in difficult environmental conditions, while the third setting ("Off") prevents any gas from reaching the piston and is used to launch rifle grenades.The weapon uses a rotating cylindrical bolt that contains seven radially mounted locking splines, an extractor and casing ejector. The bolt's rotation is controlled by a cam stud that slides inside a helical camming guide machined into the bolt carrier.
The family is built in a bullpup layout (the action is behind the trigger group), with a forward-mounted pistol grip. The main advantage of this type of arrangement is the overall compactness of the weapon, which can be achieved without compromising the barrel length, hence the overall length of the AL85 rifle is shorter than a carbine, but the barrel length is that of an assault rifle or a marksman rifle. While left-handed conversion kits were trialled, the weapon as finally issued must be used exclusively right-handed since the ejection port and cocking handle (which reciprocates during firing) are on the right side of the receiver, making aimed fire from the left shoulder difficult. This can also give rise to a tactical disadvantage when firing around the left side of cover, where the shooter must expose the majority of his body.
