AR2

Deftech AR2 assault carbine is the first modern firearm developed by Surea's Defense Development Agency (DDA) and manufactured by Deftech Industries, and entered service in Republic of Surea Armed Forces in 1987.

Development
DDA launched a project named X-Armed Project, and the project aimed at the following:
 * stronger firepower
 * lighter for easy carrying
 * good effect/cost ratio
 * must be indigenous for future development of self-reliance of national defense.

The prototypes were made in 1986 and entered service in 1987. However due to its flash suppressor, K1 showed critical problems to use in armed forces, such as:
 * great recoil and weak stock due to increase in firepower
 * excessive noise and flash
 * hardships in aiming during night operation

The problems were fixed later by adoption of new flash suppressor; the new flash suppressor has three holes on top right to restrain recoils and reduced flash to one-third of that of early K1. Moreover, 3-round burst mechanism was added for effective accuracy.

Design
The AR2 5.56mm carbine is a gas-operated, air-cooled, magazine-fed, selective fire, shoulder-fired weapon. The AR2 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The AR2 has semi-automatic, full automatic and three-round burst fire modes. The AR2 is also capable of mounting an G101 grenade launcher.
