KR-545e93

The **KR-545e93**, denoted by the 'e' for experimental and '93' to represent the extensive testing undergone, is a highly intricate and experimental assault rifle developed by Kremlin Concern, through Aleksander Rumloffa-Kremlin. This firearm was conceived as an attempt to replace the well-established KR-74M before the development of the XKR-12 and the groundbreaking KR-12.

## Design

The design of the KR-545e93 is rather peculiar and proprietary, due to its distinctive features. To start off, this rifle incorporates a pulley system, responsible for the canted 30 round magazine and overall operation. This complex pulley system is a hallmark of the rifle's design, resulting in its intricate and unorthodox features. Next, the KR-545e93 boasts the iconic two-round burst firing mode, allowing for precise and controlled bursts of fire in combat scenarios followed by a slow automatic fire.

Given its complexity and cost, the KR-545e93 has found a niche market as a prized purchase for discerning firearm enthusiasts or among the Evalkspetz, the elite special forces of the Evalkan Ground Forces (EGF). These specialized units may appreciate its unique features and precision, making it a fitting choice for their exacting requirements.

The rifle is chambered for the 5.45x39mm Orzakyen rounds, aligning with the caliber of many Evalkan small arms. The safety switch can be manipulated by the thumb, similar to AR platform rifles and the radically advanced KR-12.

## Remarks

### Evalkan Ground Forces

* *"A peculiar addition to the KR platform, the 545 model and the 93 revisions shows the cutting edge innovation it aimed to achieve, even if it means sacrificing ease of use in order to qualify as a service rifle."*
* *"Disassembling this thing is like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. Too many moving parts."*
* *"I've read the operation manual twice, and I still have no idea how this thing works. They should include an engineering degree with every rifle."*
* *"Left-handed reloads? Might as well use a different gun. It's like they forgot that not everyone is right-handed."*
* *"Hyperburst? Yeah, that's great if I want to impress aliens with how fast I can waste ammo. I'll stick to accuracy and reliability, thank you very much."*
* *"Our KR-12 is a masterpiece of modularity. This KR-545e93? It's like they took a step back into the dark ages of firearm design."*
* *"The manual is thicker than a novel, and I still can't figure out half of it. Give me a simple weapon with a manual I can actually read."*
* *"Disassembling this thing is like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. I'd rather stick to my trusty KR-74M or KR-12 any day."*

## Trivia

### General

* The KR-545e93 stands as a testament to Kremlin's willingness to explore cutting-edge firearm designs, even when such experiments yield complex and costly results.
* While not suitable for widespread adoption, it serves as a distinctive and coveted addition to Evalka's arsenal, attracting those who value its innovative and intricate approach to small arms design.
* The idiosyncrasy of the KR-545e93's fixed stock, while sturdy and durable, adds another layer of uniqueness to this experimental assault rifle. The fact that it is foldable showcases its versatility for storage and transport. However, the quirk where it becomes unusable for right-handed shooters when folded might be seen as a design limitation. This feature could be perceived as a trade-off, where the rifle prioritizes compactness in its folded state at the expense of accommodating right-handed users in that configuration.
* The specialized and unconventional nature of the KR-545e93, with its complex mechanism, two-round burst, and canted magazine, contributes to its reputation as an experimental and niche firearm. This quirk further distinguishes it as a collector's item or a weapon tailored for specific applications, making it a symbol of innovation and uniqueness in the world of small arms design.
* The KR-545e93 is designed by Aleksander Rumloffa-Kremlin, the same mind who brought the simpler but equally unaccepted KR-200.
* The firearm's operation manual is longer than what can be considered normal.
* The rate of fire is typically 800 rounds per minute.
* This rifle saw some popularity in the Dark Tower.
