Main Thread

   The meeting opened as was normal, with about an hour of folks trickling in, gossiping with eachother and generally getting comfortable. What was not normal, however, was the federal representative arriving. Today, the result of the petition submitted months ago for some federal funds would be announced...

The Xuwhurg Communal Armory starts with the following assets:
A factory building with space for two assembly lines
A grant to cover the tooling for the first assembly lines
60 Bits
A native ammunition type, developed last year as a passion project by a would-be engineer

It is now 1950, Drawing Phase
Examine the contracts in the main thread for a goal to work towards this turn. You will need to design a firearm to submit to atleast one of the contracts. It is recommended that for this first turn only one design be developed. Please propose designs to work one, and vote on which to do. Once results from this first phase are in there will be an opportunity for further revisions or the ability to go right to bidding, with the ability to shove a price on it and submit it for consideration.

The design should include the proposed goals for the gun, its operating mechanism, its cartridge, and any special features it uses.
For designing a cartridge, please specify the shape of the loading, if the round is rimmed, semi-rimmed, or rimless, and the size of the round in both overall length and bullet diameter. Alternatively, generalizations such as "small rifle cartridge" or "large pistol cartridge may be used.

For the first turn only you may rename your company and have a free revision for ammunition! You can vote on the name of the company and select a logo if you wish. The free ammunition revision will be carried out this turn.

Xuwhurg 8x25mm rimless high power pistol cartridge

Quote from: XCA 49 carbine
A semi automatic Carbine chambered for the Xuwhurg 8x25mm, uses a short piston gas operated action. To keep cost down the gun will be mostly made of stamped sheet metal. Effort to be made to make the carbine as accurate as possible with out exceeding the build cost of 15 bits a batch.
