MK36 RWS

The (Rubicon Weapon System) is a 5.56x45mm SDC assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by the gigantic Panamoan corporation known as Rubicon Industries. It was rejected when the MK4/16 Replacement program was cancelled and the MK36 has only seen active service in PMCs, security contractors and police units in several countries, including Panamoan Republic, Evalkan Empire, and the Aryaine Kingdom. The MK36 is gas-operated and feeds from a 30-round detachable box magazine or 100-round C-Mag drum magazine.
== Design ==
The MK36 RWS weapon system utilizes proprietary short-stroke gas piston system, forgoing the concentric to bore gas piston system standard in AR556 rifles. The MK36 gas system was in turn partially derived from the AR assault rifle designed in 1963. The system uses a short-stroke piston driving an operating rod to force the bolt carrier to the rear. This design prevents combustion gases from entering the weapon's interior—a shortcoming with direct impingement systems.
All MK36 variants employs a large number of lightweight, corrosion-resistant synthetic materials in its design; the receiver housing, stock, trigger group (including the fire control selector and firing mechanism parts), magazine well, handguard and carry handle are all made of a carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide. The receiver has an integrated Setvian Alloy barrel trunnion (with locking recesses) and a 9090 Titanium Alloy reinforced receiver.
The stock has the ability to fold to one side, shortening the overall length of the weapon for use in tight areas or vehicles. The rifle can also still fire with the stock collapsed. Also, it incorporates holes where assembly pins can be placed during weapon cleaning and maintenance.
