List of Urcean service weapons

This is a list of small arms which have been used by the Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea and have designated as a standardized weapon. Weapons are included in chronological order of the introduction of the weapon, which mostly, but not always, follows sequential designated number order.

SR-1
The SR-1, initially designated Model 1874 Service Weapon, was the first standard-issue adopted by the Urcean armed forces. The rifle employed a hinged  and fired , the first rifle in Urcean service to do so. Replacing the Model 1862's system of s, experienced riflemen could average 15 shots per minute with the SR-1 as opposed to just 3 with its predecessor. The SR-1 was the first rifle designated under the standardized Urcean equipment system, and was in service from 1874 to 1887 with sporadic reserve use thereafter. It was used by both the Royal Army and Royal Navy. Due to the large number produced, many SR-1s continued to be used by Ionian guerillas and Legitimist forces during the '97 Rising until more modern rifles could be supplied by foreign alloes.

The SR-1 used and had a 32.5 inch barrel, with shorter versions in use as carbines. The rifle had a muzzle velocity of 1,350 feet per second.

Affair Six
The "Affair Six" are six standard issue service rifles used by the Urcean armed forces between 1883 and 1890 in what became known as the Eight Rifle Affair, when eight rifles (the Six as well as SR-1 and SR-8) were ordered between 1880 and 1887. Many of these rifles were used for less than two years, and the adoption of many subsequent rifles was the result of competing factions within the Royal Army and significant amounts of corruption between Army decisionmakers and industry leaders. Accordingly, these rifles are often grouped collectively, and both official records and individual histories during the period refer to soldiers being equipped "with the Six" or "to the Six" without specificity as to the specific model of a weapon. Many surplus Six rifles were later used by militias loyal to both sides during the '97 Rising.

SR-10
The SR-10, officially known as the '''Standard Rifle Mk. 10 and known commonly as the Jenkins Rifle''', was a in use by exclusively by the Royal and Imperial Army from 1937 to approximately 1941. The rifle, using a and firing a  held in a ten round box magazine, is essentially a semi-automatic rifle built mostly out of SR-9 parts. The rifle was designed in this manner largely out of necessity; the Royal and Imperial Army's bolt-action SR-9C, though reliable, was inadquate for modern warfare on Sarpedon, where the Caphirian Imperial Legions utilized s. Beginning in 1935, the Army began to investigate transitioning away from the SR-9C, beginning a complicated and delayed process which eventually resulted in the adoption of its first assault rifle, the SAR-40, five years later. In the meantime, a stop-gap measure was required, and the Army put out specifications looking for a semi-automatic rifle that could be made, to the extent possible, out of already tooled rifle parts. Karl-Howard Jenkins, an immigrant to Urcea from Fiannria, submitted the winning design, and manufacture began in late 1936 for delivery in mid-1937. It was never intended to arm the entire Army with these rifles, only front-line units in Sarpedon, and accordingly production scale was limited, with a half million rifles being manufactured during its four year run, largely alongside SR-9Cs which would continue to be used abroad as well as in the other services. The rifles performed reasonably well for what they were, although reliability issues plagued them throughout their service life. With the introduction of the SAR-40, these weapons were rapidly phased out as the new assault rifles were sent first to front-line units, and the SR-10 was officially taken out of service at the end of 1941. Despite popular belief, these rifles are not conversions of SR-9 or 9C rifles, only constructed using most of the same parts and tooling.

SAR-40
The SAR-40 was intended to replace both the SR-9C and SR-10, but both remained in service after 1940 for a year or two while being gradually phased out on a unit-by-unit basis. The phase out was largely complete by the end of 1942, by which time the SAR-40 had seen extensive use in the Second Great War.
