HRK-A

Its design places a premium on durability and reliability, ensuring its effectiveness on the cybernetic battlefield.
== Design ==
The HRK-A represents a fusion of time-tested assault rifle principles and cutting-edge advancements in close-quarters combat. Tailored for the potent 7.62x35mm cartridge, this assault rifle prioritises stopping power over extended range. The decision to sacrifice some range in favour of increased lethality aligns with the demands of the contemporary battlefield.
The robust, brown receiver and sturdy wireframes contribute to the rifle's bulk, reflecting its intended use by cybernetically enhanced soldiers. While the design might be unwieldy for regular infantry, it perfectly suits the needs of cyber soldiers who require a weapon system capable of handling their enhanced capabilities.
Equipped with built-in recoil compensation systems, the HRK-A manages to maintain an impressive and controllable rate of fire. This feature is crucial for operators engaged in close-quarters combat, offering swift and precise follow-up shots. The integration of recoil management enhances overall accuracy, allowing the operator to maintain control even during rapid-fire engagements.
The HRK-A's 7.62x35mm cartridge allows the rifle to operate quietly when equipped with a suppressor. This feature enhances the weapon's suitability for operators who prioritise stealth and discretion. Whether navigating tight urban environments or conducting covert operations, the HRK-A provides a silent but deadly solution.
The rifle's aesthetic features, such as the bulky brown receiver and wireframes, showcase a cybernetic influence. The magwell, with its robotic design and holes, further reinforces the weapon's connection to advanced technology. The HRK-A's design is tailored to accommodate cyber soldiers, aligning with the unique needs and preferences of augmented operators.
The HRK-A adopts a straight-line design, directing recoil backward. This configuration, combined with the top-mounted charging handle pulled backward in an AR-style fashion, contributes to the rifle's controllability during rapid-fire engagements.
The 30-round straight magazine, along with the cybernetic design elements, gives the HRK-A a distinctive appearance. The magwell's integration with the pistol grip and stock, featuring a large thumbhole structure, contributes to the overall futuristic and functional design.
