It's the standard rifle of the [[Calderan Armed Forces]], but it's also a rare commodity, as most Calderan soldiers use the [[Urcea|Urcean]] SMP-3L for standard engagements, and the C19 is reserved to only the [[Volkspartei#Paramilitary|Volkspartei Defense]] and Calderan soldiers who are guarding important bases.{{Infobox weapon | ||

The Calderan Armed Forces enlisted multiple manufacturers to come up with a superior rifle design, with the prerequisites that the new rifle being: firstly, the rifle had to use a lighter cartridge than 8mm Calderan, and secondly, the rifle had to reload faster than the [[Lachsen SG56|SG56]]. | ||
To come up with a design that fit these criteria, Calderan manufacturers turned to foreign designs, applying the [[Levantine Union|Levantine]] 5.56 millimeter cartridge to a frame of disputed origin. The Calderan manufacturer [[Tauk]] claims to have designed the operating system themselves, but other manufacturers contend this, citing the [[Farmandie|Farman]] FAMle-04 and the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] [[Cileo 220]] as both using the same operating system, meaning Tauk likely stole the design from one of those rifles or an even older model, but Tauk maintains their position that they invented the operating system, and similarity is a coincidence. | To come up with a design that fit these criteria, Calderan manufacturers turned to foreign designs, applying the [[Levantine Union|Levantine]] 5.56 millimeter cartridge to a frame of disputed origin.

In 2034, a riot erupted on a small island prison owned by Caldera off the coast. The riot got so bad that entire local police departments were killed trying to respond to the riot. The Calderan Armed Forces were forced to send a group of 5 soldiers in heavy body armor wielding C19 rifles. The soldiers were able to kill all rioting prisoners while only sustaining 1 casualty. | In 2034, a riot erupted on a small island prison owned by Caldera off the coast.
