Type 86 Assault Rifl e
Taiwanese 5.56mm Assault Rifl e
The Type 86 (or T86) is an improved and shortened version of an ear- lier model, the Type 65. Due to its prominent carrying handle, the T86 is similar to the M16 in appearance. The internal action, however, bor- rows some elements from the simpler AR18 design (notably the bolt and gas pistons). The operating mechanism can be broken down into a series of modular parts for maintenance or replacement as needed. It features a three-round burst capability and a folding stock. A bracket on the front of the weapon can be used to mount accessories, such as a laser sight or an illuminator. An optical sight is fi tted as standard.
Who Uses It: The T86 is the standard service weapon of the Taiwanese armed forces.
d20 Modern Rules: This weapon features a three-round burst
setting. When the three-round burst version is used with the Burst Fire feat, it fi res only three bullets instead of fi ve and can be used with only three bullets in the weapon. This setting does not grant the ability to make burst fi re attacks without the Burst Fire feat; if you use the setting without the feat, you make a normal attack and the extra two bullets are wasted. Because it does not have the automatic rate of fi re, this weapon cannot be used to make autofi re attacks.

Valmet M76
Finnish 7.62mm Assault Rifl e
Over the past several decades, the Finnish arms maker Sako has pro- duced a series of assault rifl es derived from the Soviet Kalashnikov design. The M76 is a refi nement of the M60, an earlier Sako design. In many ways, the newer M76 is linked even more closely to its Kalashnikov forebears. It has been produced in a number of vari- ants, featuring a number of different stocks made out of metal, wood, and plastic.
Variants: The M76 is available in either 7.62×39 or 5.56×45mm. The M78 is a long-barreled variant of the M76 rifl e fi tted with a bipod. Originally meant as a light machine gun, it was reworked to fi re standard box magazines.
Who Uses It: The M76 has been adopted by the Finnish armed forces. The 5.56mm export version has been adopted by the armed forces of Indonesia and Qatar.

Valmet M82
Finish 5.56mm Assault Rifl e
M82 was an advanced derivative of the earlier M76 series of rifl es. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO, it used the action of the M76, incor- porating as many of its parts as possible. It rearranged the action into a bullpup confi guration, however, resulting in a shorter overall design. Though tested by a number of users, the M82 failed to win adoption, and it never went into production.

Vektor CR 21
South African 5.56mm Assault Rifl e
The CR21 is an advanced assault rifl e design from South Africa. It is housed in an ergonomically designed plastic shell and arranged in a bullpup confi guration. The weapon’s center of gravity is located directly above the pistol grip, facilitating one-hand use if neces- sary. All controls are ambidextrous. It features a special refl ex sight housed on top of the weapon; this can be replaced with a standard accessory rail if needed. The CR 21 uses plastic magazines, and the barrel is rifl ed to work with either the U.S. or European version of the 5.56mm NATO round.
Who Uses It: The CR 21 has been adopted by the South African armed forces and will soon replace the older R4. The carbine is being evaluated by the South African National Police as well.
d20 Modern Rules: This weapon can be fi red one-handed, but the
shooter takes a –1 penalty on all attack rolls made with the weapon.

Vikhr SR-3
Russian 9×39mm Assault Carbine
The MA Vikhr, or “whirlwind,” is a compact assault rifl e chambered to fi re the 9×39mm cartridge. Intended for use by units that need a compact but powerful weapon for close-quarters fi ghting, the weapon is built around a shortened version of the familiar Kalashnikov action and features a folding stock. The magazine is transparent so remaining ammunition can be readily checked.
Variant: The AS Val (see above) is a suppressed variant of the Vikhr SR-3.
Who Uses It: The Vikhr is in service with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD).
d20 Modern Rules: See the 9×39mm Ammunition sidebar for
more information on the weapon’s cartridge.

Z-M LR 300
American 5.56mm Assault Rifl e
The Z-M LR 300 is an advanced derivative of the M16. Though it uses the standard M16 lower receiver, it replaces the upper receiver and gas system with a new design. This system is not only more compact, but it vents the gases out of the action to prevent fouling. Reliability is improved, and maintenance requirements are dramati- cally reduced. Operation and controls remain the same as for the M16, making familiarization and training easy.
The LR 300 is a practical and handy weapon. Most are confi gured for close-quarters fi ghting, with short barrels and folding stocks. The upper receiver permits a variety of optical sights to be attached. Iron sights are also fi tted as a backup.
d20 Modern Rules: This weapon features a three-round burst
setting. When the three-round burst version is used with the Burst Fire feat, it fi res only three bullets instead of fi ve and can be used with only three bullets in the weapon. This setting does not grant the ability to make burst fi re attacks without the Burst Fire feat; if you use the setting without the feat, you make a normal attack and the extra two bullets are wasted.
