Changes: Gabha R-15

Revision as of 18:47, 14 August 2017

Major Marla Éan of the Tribe of Cork with a Gabha R-15.

The rifle, we call her R-15, is a straight-pull bolt action operated weapon, with a six shot integral box magazine loaded by an en bloc clip. Theoretically, a rifleman can fire 30 to 35 shots within a minute from this weapon. The round leaves the muzzle at 630 m/s.

The weapon is 1.05 metres long, 543 millimetres of which belong to the barrel, weights 3.4 kilograms and fires 8x57 Gabha Cartridges. Under the muzzle, a bayonet can be attached.

Mostly used by cavalrymen, outphased in the 50s and 60s, some still used by private security firms and SDF-Sharpshooters for training purposes.
