===Affair Six=== | |||
===SR-2=== | 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 (Urcea)|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]]. | ||
