Description
A General Dynamics RM277 -based bullpup rifle was added to the battle rifles class in Season 3 under the name "Cronen Squall". It is depicted as a heavily stylized version of the first prototype, noticeable by having a rear magazine release. However, it also has two buttons near the trigger group that act as bolt release buttons instead of magazine release buttons, a black cheek rest, switchable ejection ports and an enlarged rear similar to that of the Desert Tech Micro Dynamic Rifle . It is fitted with stylized Magpul MBUS. It is chambered in "6.8 Wrath", an in-universe version of 6.8x51mm SIG FURY, which is the cartridge of the SIG-Sauer MCX-SPEAR (now designated as the XM7) that prevailed over the RM277 in the NGSW trials.The gun uses conventional full brass case ammo like the civilian/training ammo by default but a 6.8 Composite ammo option is also available, bringing it back to the original 6.8mm TVCM cartridge that the RM277 was chambered in. Beside that, Frangible and Hollowpoint ammo options give the 6.8mm SIG FURY cartridge its well-known hybrid case (these options are correct as currently, available hybrid-case ammo to the civilian market is those two options). It is fed by default using 20-round L7 AWM magazines with a 30-rounder and a 50-round Magpul D-50 drum magazine also available; the rifle can also equip its proprietary micro flow-through Brevis III suppressor.
While the real rifle fires from a closed bolt in semi-auto and an open bolt in full-auto, its in-game incarnation is depicted as always firing from an open bolt (with the same firing delay given to all other open bolt weapons), though inconsistent with this, the empty reload animation features the player character using the bolt release as if the rifle were firing from a closed bolt. The out-of-ammo inspect animation is also consistent with the gun always being open bolt, beginning with the trigger being pulled to dry-fire the rifle. In order for the rifle to at least be internally consistent to its fictional always-open-bolt self, the empty reload animation should instead not use the bolt release, and simply swap mags like a non-empty reload.
