HIA K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun
The HIA K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun is a three barreled, electrically driven machine gun chambered in 7.62mm WA which fires at a fixed rate of 3,000 shots per minute. This weapon is capable of long periods of continuous fire without threat or damage to the weapon making them an excellent choice for defensive fire suppression.
For defensive purposes, the HIA K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun can be mounted on a tripod, but when used for an assault it can be irreversibly and quickly detached from its tripod. In its unmounted form, the weapon has a limited ammunition capacity of 200 rounds and takes about a second to "spin up" before reaching its highest rate of fire. Pulling the trigger once will cause the gun to fire a maximum of two rounds at a moderate rate; holding it down builds up the rate of fire to a higher rate.
The gun slowly climbs during automatic fire, but its recoil is lessened by the gun's weight, which makes it hard to move around as well as decreasing the user's speed. Unlike most heavy machine guns, the K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun does not overheat with continuous fire. This is a more realistic feature as having three barrels on the gun disperses the heat equally within each barrel, allowing the gun to remain cool and continue functioning for long periods of time.
The K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun has a system life in excess of one million rounds and an average time between stoppage of 30,000 rounds. In the unlikely event of a stoppage the weapon can be serviced and made operational again in under a minute. The multi barrel design means that each barrel only experiences a 500 round per minute rate of fire. This allows for repeated long bursts of fire and a barrel group life of 100,000 rounds.
Ammunition
The K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun fires 7.62x51mm Saboted Light Armor Penetrator rounds at a high rate of fire. The SLAP design incorporates a polymer sabot, which allows for the use of a tungsten penetrator projectile of a lesser diameter than the original bore. By using the casing of a large cartridge with a lightweight projectile, the velocity of the projectile is greatly increased. The bullets are powerful enough to punch through a variety of vehicle armors and or fortified positions.
Standard Roles
The K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun, like all machine guns, packs a powerful punch, filling the air with many rounds at a high rate. The K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun is mainly a Support Weapon, providing support for front-line units. The K-3AGC Mk B Gatling Gun is extremely effective against hostile infantry forces and or low flying aircraft.

HIA HCLRR-03 Anti-Material Rifle
This rifle was designed in the early to mid 1990s by Haruspex arms designer Fenir Neophytou, who also took its part in designing the ACS-01 combat shotgun. Initial development was under the Blackstar Weapons Research name, and later the Weapons and Research division of Haruspex International Armaments, a major Haruspex arms manufacturer, purchased all rights for this design.
In the 1998 Haruspex military legions adopted this weapon and began to purchase it in some numbers. It is also offered for export sales. The HCLRR-03 (Rayjo Lymepan Muhk Nyhka Nevma - Heavy Caliber Long Range Rifle) is a long range anti-material rifle, developed to reach out across wide plains of Haruspex landscape and to deliver substantial firepower in a relatively compact, two men portable package. It is available in two versions, 20mm and 14.5mm, and could be easily converted from one variant to another by simple replacement of the barrel, bolt, magazine and scope, which will take about 1 minute in the field conditions.
These two versions had slightly different applications: 20mm version, built around MG-20 aircraft gun rounds, can deliver high explosive, fragmentation or incendiary shells with good accuracy, so a relatively "soft" targets could be disabled by the blast and / or fragments. When the long range and armor penetration is an issue, the 14.5mm version comes into the play. It is built around the 14.5mm high velocity, armor-piercing cartridge, developed for heavy machine guns on armored cars and in anti-aircraft mounts.
While probably not so accurate as the specially developed .50BMG (12.7x99mm) rifles, mostly due to unavailability of the "match grade" ammunition in the 14.5mm and 20mm, HCLRR-03 offers significantly more terminal effectiveness than any .50BMG rifle / round combination. 20 mm version can be most effective against targets like parked aircrafts and helicopters, command and communications equipment, radar cabins, fuel dumps, unarmored cars. While the 14.5 mm version is more effective against armored personnel carriers or relatively large "soft" targets at extended ranges. Anti-personnel work is by no means a primary task for this huge rifle.
The HCLRR-03 is a manually operated, rotating bolt action rifle. The barrel is locked by the rotating bolt that has 6 lugs. The barrel along with the receiver could recoil inside the chassis frame against combined hydraulic and pneumatic damping system. Large two-chamber muzzle brake also helps to keep recoil at the acceptable level.
HCLRR-03 is fed from the detachable box magazine, that is inserted from the left side and holds 3 rounds. The rifle can be disassembled and carried in two man-portable packs, each weighting about 12 - 15 kg. One pack carries the frame, stock, butt and bipod while the other carries the barrel, sighting equipment and magazines. HCLRR-03 is equipped with a 8X magnification, long eye relief telescopic sight on the quick detachable mount. No open sight are fitted by default. The folding bipod is mounted under the receiver, and a non-folding frame above the receiver serves as a carrying handle and a scope protection bracket.

HIA RPGTA Series Model B
The RPGTA Series Model B, rocket-propelled flame-thrower is a recent development by the Verlaine Corporate Industries Instrument Design Bureau (ETP), and is an improved version of the well-known RPGTA Series Model A weapon, which was developed by same organization. RPGTA Series Model B, also known as RPGTA-B, has been adopted by the Haruspex legions and is also offered for export. It is significantly lighter than RPGTA-A, has better ergonomics and improved ballistics and terminal effect. It is also more accurate,thanks to the optical sight, integrated into the re-usable fire control unit.
The RPGTA-B consists of a disposable launching tube / barrel, pre-loaded at the factory with rocket, and a reusable firing control unit, which is attached to the launching tube before use. Once the rocket is fired, empty launcher tube is detached from firing control unit and discarded.
The launcher tube is made from fiberglass, with protective rubber covers at both ends. Covers are destroyed automatically when rocket is fired. The firing control unit is made mostly from plastic, and consists of a pistol grip, electronic trigger(ignition electrical impulse is generated by the pull of the trigger)and manual safety mechanisms, and short for end. On the left side of the firing control module there's a folding base that hosts an optical sight, and an additional rail for attachment of an IR / Night sight in equipment.
The rocket consists of an solid-propellant engine, folding tail fins and a large thermobaric warhead, loaded with Fuel-Air Explosive. The blast effect of the RPGTA-B warhead is said to be comparable with that of the 155mm / 6" HE artillery shell.
Characteristics
Caliber: 90 mm
Type: rocket
Overalllength: 940 mm
Weight: 8.8 kg complete
Effective Range: 300 m

HIA Airborne Short Rifled Howitzer Series 2
This weapon is a short-rifled howitzer without a recoil or counter-recoil system, mounted on a light aluminum alloy carriage. A funneled (Venturi) tube is attached to the rear of the bored breechblock; its function is to allow the gases to disperse to the rear, thus eliminating a recoil mechanism.
The firing mechanism is seated in a cone-shaped receptacle and centered in the breechblock by vertical struts. The weight of the complete gun is reduced to a minimum by using hollow machined parts, plastic washers, tubular carriage, and aluminum alloy body. Because of the weight of the complete piece, it lends itself to use by airborne troops.
a. Barrel
The tube is of monobloc steel construction. On the breech end, interrupted collars provide for attachment of the tube to the breech rings. It is also machined to seat the extractor and the barrel lock. Externally and midway on the barrel, a steel band is clamped. Its purpose is to lock the barrel and the front leg of the tripod in transport.
b. Breech Ring
This part of the gun is recessed to receive the barrel and breechblock. It contains borings for the extractor pin, breech-lever mechanism, "safe and fire" lever as well as the barrel lock. The trunnions for mounting it to the carriage and the elevating rack are also attached to the breech ring.
c. Breechblock
The breech is of the horizontal sliding block type. It is bored to receive the firing housing and firing lever. The firing housing, which acts as a diffuser for gases escaping to the rear, is screwed at the rear to secure the funnel-shaped "Venturi" tube. The breech mechanism lever performs a double function. It operates the breechblock and also cocks the piece when the lever is depressed.
d. Venturi Tube
This funnel-shaped tube is screwed on to the rear of the breechblock. Its purpose is to disperse the gases to the rear, eliminating recoil.
e. Carriage
The top carriage or body is constructed of an aluminum alloy, formed with a circular base. It contains borings for the elevating and traversing mechanisms and lock, as well as the trunnion caps for seating the trunnions. The gun can be traversed 360° by locking the elevating mechanism, but its ordinary traverse is 60°. Elevation is limited to 42° by stops, but the rack can be locked at 20°. At the right side is a bracket for attaching a small spare-parts box.
f. Lower Carriage or Platform
The lower carriage consists of the wheels, platform, three tubular legs, tubular guide rails, tubular axletree, base ring traversing rack, and stub axles.
The wheels are light-weight metal disks fitted with solid rubber tires and can be quickly detached from the axletree.
The three tripod legs are pivoted in lugs on the base ring. The front leg can be placed in one of two positions for firing by engaging it in a slot in the center of the axletree. The left and right legs can be placed in two positions by locking them in slots of the guide rail. The three tripod legs have small spades for steadying the gun while firing.

HIA 9M-Zylgym (Jackal) MPS
The 9M-Zylgym launch units and control equipment were developed and manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments, Sylreha Nacaynlr & Tacekh Pinayi (Machine Research & Design Bureau - SNTP), to provide a remotely-controlled automated single/salvo missile launch capability.
The idea of the system came after a request from representatives of foreign armies. The 9M-Zylgym set is designed for remote automated firing of the 9M1 portable surface-to-air missiles by single shots, ripple fire or in salvo from different ground-based, airborne and sea-based platforms.
HIA agreed in 2005 to sell the nation of Korrodos, short-range anti-aircraft missile systems to bolster its capability to protect strategically important facilities from "potential air strikes." Latest pictures take during the conflict in Karthay, shows a 9M-Zylgym system mounted on light truck of indigenous origin by Karthian national defense force.
The control equipment and launching modules is designed to remotely command single serial (2 to 8 missile) or salvo (two missiles from different modules) against a target, therefore increasing kill probability by improving the missile's no-escape zone. In addition, the 9M-Zylgym which uses Haruspex portable missile as 9M1, can also be adapted for a use with foreign missile that match it's size and weight.
The effectiveness of the 9M1 missile against air targets is attributed to the increase weight of the explosive in the missile's warhead and to the impact/proximity fuze enabling the missile to kill the target both in the event of a direct hit and when it passes at a distance of up to 1.5 m from the target.
The set comprises a universal launcher module for one to four missiles, control and communication equipment, one remote control box, checkout equipment and maintenance kit. The 9M-Zylgym systems can be mounted on ground-based, airborne and sea based platforms. Its full-reloading time is 4 min, loaded launch unit weight - 70 kg, control equipment weight - 24 kg. The launch unit of this system is mounted on tracked or wheeled-type chassis and can be employed in a portable version utilizing a tri-pod setup.
The 9M-Zylgym can be mounted on a rail located in an ordinary vehicle (like a Jeep), the turret of an armored car, a patrol boat, heavy tri-pod, or on the undercarriage of a helicopter gunship. The targeting and control system of 9M1 is located on the launcher tube, while the control instruments of 9M-Zylgym are removed from the launching sector. They are connected with the launcher by shielded electric cables or can be located in the cabin of the vehicle, the turret of the armored car, at the helicopter control panel, and on the bridge of the patrol boat. The 9M-Zylgym launcher with a missile but without controls would be useless, including for terrorists, as targeting becomes impossible.
