      SK-19

      This weapon was left out of the 2nd edition rules ( titled 2300 AD), since GDW had run out of space because of adding all of the new background material.

      Now the standard service weapon of the German Army, the SK-19 is clearly a progressive development of the Traylor Arms M-2 Assault Rifle.  The main improvments over the M-2 consist of the substitution of a reliable binary propellant system for fixed cartridges and the inclusion of an integral 30mm grenade launcher in the stock below the barrel.  The binary propellant system includes a muzzle velocity governor keyed to the fire select switch, patterned after that on the French FAM-90.  When on the burst setting, muzzle velocity is considerably reduced giving and extremely controllable autofire weapon.  The resulting combination of a high rate of fire, ease of control, the shattering punch of the 9mm APHE round, and the option of 30mm grenade fire makes the SK-19 the most devastating close-in assault weapon in service anywhere.
