SIV rifle

The SIV (Standard Infanteri Vapen), is a family of military rifles adapted by the Artisfjort Arms Company. The platform is capable of automatic, burst and semi-automatic fire. Chambered in 7.62×51m. It is lightweight, accurate, and serves as the official service weapon of the Ocraitan Army.

History
In 1956, the first SIV-3 prototype was completed. After testing this prototype in 1957, a Bullpup Configuration was designed after the Ocraitan Government urged Artisfjort Arms to make it. After evaluating the single bullpup prototype, the company decided to return instead to their original design.

Design
The FAL operates by means of a gas-operated action very similar to that of the Russian SVT-40. The SIV rifles are manufactured in both light and heavy-barrel configurations, with the heavy barrel intended for automatic fire as a section or squad light support weapon. Most heavy barrel FALs are equipped with bipods.

The SIV has a flaw of major recoil. Fully-automatic fire on the SIV-A1 and SIV-A2 were extremely high, with the gun going off-target after only 8 rounds fired. The SIV-A3 has improved on this and the recoil is comparable to M16, though it has sacrificed the weight of the rifle for this. The SIV-IMR (Infantry Marksman Rifle) is a variant converted for use as a DMR, chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO. It is capable of only Semi-Automatic fire.
