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.
Muskets and rifles
Continental Pattern Service Musket
Model 1840 Service Weapon
Model 1862 Service Weapon
SR-1
The SR-1, initially designated Model 1874 Service Weapon, was the first standard-issue breech-loading rifle adopted by the Urcean armed forces. The rifle employed a trapdoor hinged breechblock and fired .45-70 cartridges, the first rifle in Urcean service to do so. Replacing the Model 1862's system of percussion caps, 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. 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 open sights 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.
