HAMR Heavy Adaptive Modular Rifle — Description
i found another meaning for the acronym HAMR! YEAAAAAAAAAA
what can i say, a quick build.
zoom the image twice to see everything.
and important, i didn't put much effort into this one. it was a really quick build.

well, i also made 3 "special edition" rifles. they're basically the basic .338 Lapua Magnum sniper rifle with different paintjobs.
as it's 4th of July, i decided to make a 4th of July special edition for you americans.
consider this a gift from brazil for you americans. after all, we fought togheter in WW II.

don't worry, i'm saving the best to 7th of September.
(Brazilian independence day)

now, for a proper description:
....................................................................................

the HAMR (Heavy Adaptive Modular Rifle) system was designed to provide soldiers with a reliable, powerful and quickly convertible rifle. it is a selective-fire, gas-operated, long-stroke piston weapon. the part shared by all of the models is the upper reciever. however, all versions will still function even with different lower recievers (however, the "sniper" lower reciever is designed to restrict fire to semi-automatic), so it can be said that the lower reciever is also shared by all models, making this weapon a very adaptable one.
by simply changing the barrel, bolt and magazine adaptor, the operator can cycle through 3 different cartridges:

- .338 Lapua Magnum: a powerful round, normally used for sniping. automatic fire is possible only because of the sophisticated recoil-absorbing system. comes in 5, 10 or 15 round box magazines or 85 round double-drum (Beta C-Mag) magazines, though the latter is not much used because it is prone to jamming.

- 7.62x51mm NATO: the famous 7.62 round, quite powerful and used in most battle rifles. comes in 10, 20, 25 or 30 round box magazines, 40 or 50 casket magazines, or 100 round double-drum magazines.

- 7.62x54mmR: the famous rimmed round used by the equally famous Mosin-Nagant and SVD Dragunov rifles. comes in 5, 10, 20 or 30 round box magazines, or 70 round single drum magazines. the famous double drum magazine is not available because this magazine itself is already prone to jamming, add a rimmed round to the mix and it is going to be very unreliable.

this rifle features a sophisticated recoil-absorbing system, making it possible to fire the .338 Lapua Mag in full auto. the rifle features multiple rails for mounting of acessories and two or three (depending on the stock being used) heavy duty rifle sling mounts. the whole rifle can be disassembled without use of tools, as the whole rifle is held togheter by telescoping pins.

the rifle features 3 different interchangeable lower recievers, see their functions below:

Normal lower reciever: the standard reciever. it features a good storage space for the cleaning kit and anything else, however it is not bigger due to some springs that are part of the recoil-absorbing system.
(Fire modes: semi automatic and fully automatic.)

Tactical lower reciever: features a side-foldable stock, features the same springs as the normal reciever but it's stock's storage space is smaller. this stock features some holes to save weight.
(Fire modes: semi auto and full automatic.)

Sniper lower reciever: features the same springs, however it's storage space is even smaller and has room only for the cleaning kit. however, it's stock features an adjustable length, adjustable cheek rest and adjustable monopod.
(Fire Modes: this reciever fires semi-automatic only and features a lightened trigger pull for sniping.)

given that, the rifle can be configured into 6 Main configurations:

Sniper: semi-auto only. normally features a high power scope and a bipod. can be equipped with a special supressor that uses the muzzle break to supply it with the gas instead of making holes in the barrel, allowing for no drop in muzzle velocity.
DMR: semi-auto only. normally features a medium power scope and a bipod. features a lighter and shorter barrel.
LMG: it will require a simple, quick conversion to belt-fed. normally features a bipod and fixed iron sights.
Battle rifle: the most overall variant. normally equipped with flip-up iron sights. features an even shorter barrel.
Heavy carbine: a lighter, shorter variant. normally equipped with flip-up iron sights. features a folding stock and the shortest barrel of all.
Scoped battle rifle: a variant of the battle rifle. features a folding stock and a carry handle with two mounted optics: one being adjustable (1-5x) and the other one being a 1x reflex sight.
