Ranibak 67

The Ranibak 67 is a submachine gun manufactured by Kremlin Concern. It only saw use in the year 3025, on a reformed Nexonia Prime.
== Design ==
The Ranibak revision 67 is a lightweight selective fire weapon that fires from a closed bolt, a feature that enhances the gun's practical accuracy. The weapon has a notably large magazine capacity.
It is based on the KRS-74 and features a 60% parts commonality with the KR-74 assault rifle.
One of the Ranibak 67's more unusual features is the magazine, which is often mistaken for a grenade launcher. The cylinder below the barrel is in fact a 64-round helical-feed magazine, similar to the type used in the Razimahl XM570 submachine gun. The magazine is made from a durable glass-reinforced polyamide 6 and mounts under the handguard in line with the barrel. This layout makes the weapon more compact and concealable compared to a standard drum or stick magazine. All cartridges are aligned nose forward in the Ranibak magazine and cannot be loaded incorrectly.
But the helical magazine came with its own set of disadvantages. The Ranibak's magazine was not that reliable. It jammed often, anecdotally, almost every ten rounds. It also created balance issues by shifting the weapon’s center of gravity as the weapon expended ammunition.
Its replacement, the Vityaz, used its design and reverted to traditional stick magazines which saw astronomically superior reliability.

== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*It shares some parts with the KRS-74U. However, since it fires pistol ammunition, standard 5.45 magazines are not compatible.
*The Rabibak is the most complicated KR pattern weapon yet, the helical magazine being the most expensive component.
*It saw widespred use in the 1970s, then diminishing in the 2000s, but it was common in the year of 2912 and 3026.
*The Ranibak was quickly replaced by the Vityaz 18 within four months of its military service.
