M-303 Jackal (Jack-all)
The M-303 Jackal is a new, cutting edge design that allows rifle cartridges to be fired at full auto while still being man portable. Due to the new and more expensive nature of the weapon the Jackal has been slow to adopt, though those who have used it have sing its praises. The sustained fire of an SMG combined with the stopping power and accuracy of a rifle gives the Jackal a unique position. The Jackal was desinged to be easily modified and able to support numerous attachments at once. Chambered in 7.62 and fires from a detachable 20 round magazine.

Mechanics & Inner Workings
The Jackal's firing action consists uses a gas operated tilting bolt
Upon firing the last shot in a magazine, the bolt is held in an open position. Upon loading a fresh magazine in, the weapon can be readied by either pressing the bolt release on the left side of the weapon or by pulling back the charging handle.
The Charging handle is located on the top of the reciever and reciprocates with each shot.
Significance
The Jackal is the first true assault rifle to be mass produced and used on the battlefield. There have been other man portable machine guns before it, but they always fired either large cartridges or small subsonic calibers rather than an intermediate cartridge where it's damage comes from velocity rather than the size of the round.
