SEDN Arms Systems​

Welcome to the Southern Europe Defense Network Arms Systems. The weapons listed below are from different arms manufacturers within the member states of the Southern European Economic and Defense Treaty Organization. The companies that manufacture these weapons must approve all shipments with the SEDN before shipping weapons. SEDN Arms Systems were designed mainly for manufacturing within the SEEDTO, however some manufacturing licenses can be purchased from outside parties.

Current Companies Signed With SEDN:

Faenza Nacional (FN)- A small arms company based out of the state of Cordoba, Ascalon.
Merkava- Makers of the Merkava series of battle tanks and many of the artillery and other vehicles used by the Ascaloni military, based out of Ascalon.
Ascaloni Military Industries- Manufacturers of the Wildcat, the Wolf, and the HIMARS.

Variants- FN SCAR-Heavy, FN SCAR-Light

The SCAR is manufactured in two main versions; Light (SCAR-L, Mk 16 Mod 0) and Heavy (SCAR-H, Mk 17 Mod 0). The L version fires 5.56x45mm SEEDTO using improved STANAG (M16) magazines. The H fires the more powerful 7.62x51mm SEEDTO from a newly designed 20-round magazine. Different length barrels will be available for close quarters battle and for longer-range engagements. The initial solicitation indicated that the SCAR-H would also be chambered for the 7.62x39mm M43 cartridge, and 6.8x43mm Remington SPC cartridge. However, FN is not currently offering other calibers.

Variants- FAL 50.41 & 50.42, FAL 50.61, FAL 50.63, FAL 50.64

Among other 7.62x51mm SEEDTO battle rifles at the time, the FN FAL had relatively light recoil, due to the gas system being able to be tuned via regulator in fore-end of the rifle, which allowed for excess gas which would simply increase recoil to bleed off. In fully-automatic mode, however, the shooter receives considerable abuse from recoil, and the weapon climbs off-target quickly, making automatic fire only of marginal effectiveness. Many military forces using the FAL eventually eliminated full-automatic firearms training in the light-barrel FAL.

Variants- FN FNC Carbine,

The FNC is a selective fire weapon that uses a gas-driven piston operating system (with a long-stroke piston) and a rotary bolt locking mechanism equipped with two locking lugs that engage corresponding recesses in the barrel extension. The bolt is rotated and unlocked by the interaction of the bolt's cam pin with a camming guide contained in the bolt carrier.

The Faenza Nacional Model 1949 (often referred to as the FN-49, SAFN, or FN AL) is a semi-automatic rifle designed by Dieudonné Saive and manufactured by Faenza Nacional. It was used by the military of Ascalon, as well as Uroduan rebels in the 1952 rebellions.

While it is well-regarded for its reliability in comparison to the rifles of the time, its practical use was limited, as it was not deployed in time for use in the Great War (when self-loading semi-automatic rifles were most popular) but later, after many militaries had already begun the switch to selective fire assault rifles. Nowadays it is used as a ceremonial rifle by the Ascaloni Military and police.

Side Arms​

You must be registered for see links

Variants-Five-seven Tactical, Five-seven IOM, Five-seven USG

The Five-seven is a semi-automatic delayed blowback pistol that uses 5.7x28mm ammunition. The pistol appears hammerless, but it has a concealed hammer. Polymers are used extensively in its design, for resistance to corrosion and reduced weight. The pistol has the appearance of being constructed entirely of polymers, because even the steel slide is encased in a polymer shell. However, the slide interior, barrel, trigger, springs, pins, and similar parts are steel. The pistol is noted for being very lightweight, weighing only 617 g (1.36 lb) empty or 744 g (1.64 lb) with a loaded 20-round magazine.

Variants- FNP-45, the FNP-40, FNP-357, FNP-9, FNP-9M

All variations of the pistols include ambidextrous decocking levers and a reversible magazine release, as well as an integrated tactical accessory rail.
According to Faenza Nacional, the FNP line of pistols is the only polymer-framed autoloading pistol on the market (as of its introduction) with fully replaceable frame rails; this allows the pistol to be rebuilt after extensive firing, thereby extending service life.

The Browning BDA is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol developed in the early 1980s at the Faenza Nacional arms factory in Cordoba. The pistol was conceived in 1983 to compete in the bid for a new sidearm chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge that would equip all the branches of the Ascaloni armed forces. The weapon was accepted into service with the Ascaloni Armed Forces as their general service pistol.

The FN Barracuda is a double-action multi-caliber revolver designed by FN Cordoba. It can be switched between three calibers (9x19mm Parabellum, .38 Special and .357 Magnum) by changing parts of the cylinder. FN decided to enter the revolver market and this gun represented their only attempt at doing so. The revolver itself is generally thought to be well-made, but it targeted a diminishing revolver market for law enforcement. Nowadays it is only sold as a civilian weapon, with no law enforcement agencies or paramilitaries using it officially.

Due to its reliability, accuracy, light weight, and quick reloading, the M1903 was an issued sidearm for many police forces and militaries

Sub-Machine Guns​

You must be registered for see links

Variants- P-90 Triple Rail, P-90 Sporting Models

The P90 is designed in the bullpup configuration, in that the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter's face. This reduces the firearm's overall length, because there is no wasted space in the buttstock as in conventional designs. The P90 is fully ambidextrous—it can be operated by right or left-handed shooters with equal ease, and without making any modifications to the weapon. The charging handle, auxiliary fixed sights and magazine release are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the firearm. The manual fire selector below the trigger can be operated from either side. Spent cartridge casings are ejected downward through a chute located aft of the pistol grip, keeping fired cases out of the shooter's line of sight.

Variants- M2-E50, M2HB

The Browning M2 has a maximum range of 7.4 kilometers (4.55 miles), with a maximum effective range of 1.8 kilometers (1.2 miles) when fired from the M3 tripod. In its ground-portable, crew-served role as the M2HB, the gun itself weighs in at a hefty 84 pounds (38 kg), and the assembled M3 tripod another 44 pounds (20 kg). In this configuration, the V-shaped "butterfly" trigger is located at the very rear of the weapon, with a "spade handle" hand-grip on either side of it and the bolt release the center. The spade handles are gripped and the butterfly trigger is depressed with one or both thumbs. Recently new rear buffer assemblies have used squeeze triggers mounted to the hand grips, doing away with the butterfly triggers.

Variants- NA

The Minimi has a manually adjustable gas valve with two positions, normal and adverse. The adverse setting increases the cyclic rate of fire from 700–850 rounds per minute to 950–1,150 rounds per minute and is used only in extreme environmental conditions or when heavy fouling is present in the weapon's gas tube. The spring extractor is located inside the bolt, while the tilting lever ejector is contained inside the receiver housing. Spent casings are removed through a port located at the bottom of the right side of the receiver, protected from debris with a spring-loaded dust cover. The Minimi is striker-fired and the bolt carrier functions as the striker mechanism.

Sniper Rifles​

Variants- FNAR-H

The FN FNAR is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. The short-stroke gas piston is located below the barrel and concealed within a stock. Barrel is locked using rotary bolt with multiple lugs. Receiver is machined from aircraft-grade ,7075, aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy, polymer stock has an adjustable buttstock and pistol grip. Feed is from a detachable box magazine, holding 10 or 20 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition. Rifle is available in two basic versions, with heavy- or lightweight fluted barrels. There are no open / iron sights installed by default; each FNAR rifle is fitted with Picatinny type rail on the top of the receiver, and three more short rails are installed at the front of the rifle stock.

Variants- FN A1, FN A2, FN A3, FN A5

FN Special Police Rifles of all iterations are noted for being both very accurate (.5 MOA or somewhat less is not uncommon) and very low maintenance, featuring Parkerized metal finish, synthetic stocks, and a chrome lined bore in the barrel. A chrome lined bore offers a more durable, more corrosion resistant, and easier to clean barrel for the end user to maintain and is rarely found on precision bolt action sniper rifles. The barrels of the "First Generation" rifles were said to be made from the hammer-forged blanks used for M240 General Purpose Machine Gun production at the FN Manufacturing Inc. plant in Faenza, Cordoba. Later barrels are said to be from hammer-forged blanks intended exclusively for FN Special Police Rifle production.

The Mark I is the original design created as a result of SEDN decision, and was fabricated and designed for mass production. The Mark I weighed 63 tonnes and had a 900 horsepower (670 kW) diesel engine, with a power to weight ratio of 14 hp/ton. It was armed with the 105 millimeter M68 main gun, two 7.62 mm machine guns for anti-infantry defense, and a 60 mm mortar mounted externally, with its operator not completely protected by the tank's hull.

You must be registered for see links

The Mark II used the same 105 millimeter main gun and 7.62 millimeter machine guns as the Mark I, but the 60 millimeter mortar was redesigned during construction to be located within the hull and configured for remote firing to remove the need to expose the operator to enemy small-arms fire. An Acaloni-designed automatic transmission and increased fuel storage for increased range was installed on all further Mark IIs. Anti-rocket netting was fitted for increased survivability against infantry equipped with anti-tank rockets.

The Merkava Mark III had many major upgrades to the drivetrain, powertrain, armament, and safety systems. The most prominent addition was the incorporation of the locally-developed IMI 120 mm gun. This gun and a larger 1,200 horsepower (890 kW) diesel engine increased the total weight of the tank to 65 tonnes (140,000 lb), but the larger engine increased the maximum cruising speed to 60 km/h (37 mph).

The turret was re-engineered for movement independent of the tank chassis, allowing it to track a target regardless of the tank's movement. Many other improvements were made, including:

External two-way telephone for secure communications between the tank crew and dismounted infantry, Upgraded ammunition storage containers to minimize ammunition cook-off, Addition of laser designators, Incorporation of the Kasag modular armor system, designed for rapid replacement and repair in the battlefield and for quick upgrading as new designs and sophisticated materials become available, and Creation of the Mark IIIB, with unspecified armor upgrades.

Optimized for urban combat, the new model has a better Efire-control system, the El-Op Knight Mark 4, and better armor on all sides, including the top and a removable V-shaped belly armor pack for the underside.

Tank rounds are stored in individual fire-proof canisters, which reduce the chance of cookoffs in a fire inside the tank. The turret is "dry"; no active rounds are stored in it.

Some features, such as hull shaping, exterior non-reflective paints, and shielding for engine heat plumes mixing with air particles to confuse enemy thermal imagers, were carried over from the IAI Lavi program of the Ascaloni Air Force to make the tank harder to spot.

The Mark IV includes the larger 120 mm main gun of the previous versions but can fire a wider variety of ammunition, including HEAT and sabot rounds like the APFSDS kinetic energy penetrator, using an electrical semi-automatic revolving magazine for 10 rounds. It also includes a much larger 12.7 mm machine gun for anti-vehicle operations (most commonly used against technicals).

The Sabra was initially developed as a further evolution of the Magach 7C. The ballistic profile of the appliqué armor was improved, and it incorporated the MG253 120 mm gun developed by g12 (a Cakistan arms company). The upgrade package was first offered to Cakistan as an option for its tank modernization program, and later offered for general export. The Cakistan government selected a further modified version of the Sabra (the Sabra Mk.II) for its upgrade program, and contract was signed on March 29, 2002, estimated to be worth $688 million USD. 170 were upgraded between 2007 and April, 2009. The upgrades were undertaken by the Cakistan Army's 2nd Main Maintenance Center Command, with the upgrade kits supplied by g12.

Armored Crew Carriers​

You must be registered for see links

The Wolf Armoured Vehicle is an armoured transport vehicle, used mainly by the SEDF. It was created to provide a better handling and better protected armoured vehicle than the M113 (Bardelas). The Wolf is a heavily armoured crew carrier, manufactured by the Merkava company. It combines a commercial truck's speed and maneuverability and APC-like armour, qualities necessary for low-intensity confrontation. The Wolf's chassis is based on a Ford F-550 truck, and is equipped with a 6-litre V8 engine. The engine is combined with a 5-speed automatic transmission, which drives all four wheels, making this a four-by-four.

The vehicle is completely protected, including the wheels—which have run flat tires. The armour is 3 long tons (3,048 kg), and is not critical to the Wolf's overall weight, since its maximum load is 8 long tons (8,128 kg). All of the doors of the vehicle are bullet proof, including the engine and gearbox compartments.[2] There are six doors—four on the sides and two at the rear—which enables troops to get in and out easily and quickly with all of their equipment. The vehicle interior is equipped with a double air conditioning system, seats and brackets for items that a soldier might need. Since no major changes have been done to the F-550 chassis, except the addition of armor, the vehicle does not have any problems with engine overheating or handling. The Wolf weighs approximately 8 long tons (8,128 kg), and can carry a crew of up to 12 personnel, with an additional 2 stretch beds, if necessary. The doors are designed for a quick getaway. Most of the original parts were kept, with the only notable changes being the rear axle and tires. Manufactured by Ascaloni Military Industries.

Ascaloni Military Industries has developed the Wildcat. This vehicle is somewhere between the 8x8 armoured infantry fighting vehicle and the armoured truck. While this vehicle may suit the rather antagonistic relationships common in Himyar it does not seem to offer much advantage over the 8x8 AIFVs.

Mobile Artillery​

The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a Ascaloni light multiple rocket launcher mounted on a truck.

HIMARS carries six rockets or one Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile on the Ascaloni Army's new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) five-ton truck, and can launch the entire M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) family of munitions. HIMARS is interchangeable with the MLRS M270A1, carrying half the rocket load. Manufactured by Ascaloni Military Industries.

Towed Artillery​

The M777 is smaller and 42% lighter, at under 4,100 kg (9,000 lb), than the M198 it replaces. Most of the weight reduction is due to the use of titanium. The lighter weight and smaller size allows the M777 to be transported by helicopter or truck with ease, so that it can be moved in and out of the battlefield more quickly than the M198. The smaller size also improves storage and transport efficiency in military warehouses and Air/Naval Transport. The gun crew required is an Operational Minimum of five, compared to a previous size of nine.

The M777 uses a digital fire-control system similar to that found on self propelled howitzers such as the M109A6 Paladin to provide navigation, pointing and self-location, allowing it to be put into action more quickly than earlier towed and air-transported howitzers. The Ascaloni M777 in conjunction with the traditional "glass and iron sights/mounts" also uses a digital fire control system called Digital Gun Management System (DGMS) produced by Merkava. Manufactured by Merkava.

Ballistic Missile Shields​

The Arrow system was exclusively designed and optimized to intercept medium- and short-range ballistic missiles with ranges above 200 km (120 mi). It is not intended to intercept either military aircraft or artillery rockets, the second of which are relatively small and short ranged. In contrast to both THAAD, RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (exoatmospheric), and MIM-104 Patriot PAC-3 (low altitude), the Arrow intercepts its targets in the high stratosphere, high enough so that any nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons do not scatter over any SEEDTO nation. The developers' intention was to perform the destruction sequence away from populated locations. According to Dr. Uzi Rubin, the missile was tested to determine whether chemical warfare agents would reach the ground should such a warhead be intercepted. The conclusion was that nothing would reach the ground if the warhead is destroyed above the jet stream, which flows from west to east and would therefore blow any chemical residue back to its point of origin. Nevertheless, Arrow is also capable of low altitude interception, as well as multi- tactical ballistic missiles interception. Manufactured by the Ascaloni Military.

The Hellfire II, developed in the early 1990s is a modular missile system with several variants for maximum battlefield flexibility. Hellfire II's semi-active laser variants—AGM-114K high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT), AGM-114KII with external blast frag sleeve, AGM-114M (blast fragmentation), and AGM-114N metal augmented charge (MAC)—achieve pinpoint accuracy by homing in on a reflected laser beam aimed at the target from the launching platform. The Agusta A129 Mangusta can be equipped with up to 8 Hellfire Missiles. It also provides capability in adverse weather and battlefield obscurants. Each Hellfire weighs 47 kg / 106 pounds, including the 9 kg / 20 pound warhead, and has a range of 8,000 meters. As of late 2007, some 21,000 Hellfire IIs have been built since 1990, at a cost of about $68,000 each.

In its basic infantry form, the system comprises a missile in a sealed tube which is clipped to a launch tube prior to use. When required, the missile tube is attached to the rear of the launch tube, the target sighted and the missile fired. The launch motor (booster) fires through lateral nozzles amidships and propels the missile from the tube, at which point four wings indexed at 45 degrees just forward of the booster nozzles spring open forwards, four tail control surfaces flip open rearwards, and sustained propulsion is subsequently provided by the flight motor. An optical sensor on the sight continuously monitors the position of a light source on the missile relative to the line-of-sight, and then corrects the trajectory of the missile by generating electrical signals that are passed down two wires to command the control surface actuators. The missile can be fired from a variety of platforms, and launch tubes can even be mounted on to the Merkava family of tanks.

Spike is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker.
The medium, long and extended range versions of the Spike also have the capability of "Fire, Observe and Update" operating mode. The missile is connected by a fiber-optical wire that is spooled out between the launch position and the missile. With this the operator can obtain a target if it is not in the line of sight of the operator at launch, switch targets in flight, or compensate for the movement of the target if the missile is not tracking the target for some reason. Hence, the missile can be fired speculatively for a target of opportunity, or for to give an observation on the other side of an obstacle. The missile has a soft launch capability - the motor firing after the missile has left the launcher- which allows for the missile to be fired from confined spaces, which is a necessity in urban warfare.
