History and Design

The TAMS was developed by Talmur Arsenals so supplement the TARA series as a weapon for members of the Armed forces who would be over-encumbered by a full sized rifle; Vehicle operators, officers and weapons crews. Some say the secondary motive behind its development was to squeeze more cash from the Kromyari Warhost. Talmur Arsenal denies these claims.
As the TARA project cost quite a sum of money to complete, in order to save money with the TAMS the design process was built around the use of pre-existing machinery and surplus parts from the TARA project. It was also argued that by using TARA parts, the familiarity would aid Kromyari troops in the use of this already simple weapon. Again, this is rumoured to be another money-grubbing lie.

Construction

The TAMS is constructed from inexpensive and surplus materials, making the manufacturing cost of each unit low. The majority of the weapon is made from stamped steel, with areas that face regular strain, such as the receiver and the magazine well, reinforced with strengthening ribs. The heat shield and the underfolding stock (borrowed from the TARAS) are also constructed from stamped steel. In an effort to increase reliability, the barrel is chrome lined to reduce the effects of fouling. The furniture is made from plum coloured polymer and borrows the pistol grip and the trigger guard from the TARA.

Operation
The TAMS uses a simple straight blowback system, where the bolt does not lock into the barrel and the breech is closed by the strength of the spring. When a round is fired, the force caused by the propellant gas pushes the now empty case and the bolt backwards. This then extracts the case and chambers a new bullet as the spring pushes the bolt back into position.

Features

The features of the TAMS were intentionally kept simple. It features an adjustable sight with 100 metres and an optimistic 300 metres option. The charging handle, located on the top of the receiver is ambidextrous, although left handed users would be at a disadvantage using the push through safety/fire selector as taking the fire arm off safe requires the button to be pressed with the right-hand index finger. Two recommended locations are provided for the forward grip: A chequered surface on the furniture and the large magazine well, designed to eliminate feed problems caused by gripping the magazine. Although the "heat shield" can be used, it is not recommended as prolonged firing can cause it to reach high temperatures. The stock can be folded, reducing the overall length of the TAMS making it easier to store in confined spaces like vehicle cabins.
