Also some factoids:
- The Stellar have a standard rifle system with three different configurations and each type is identical to the other. The laser/IR, etc setup is part of the rifle.
- There is no red dot/holographic sight since cyborgs like the Stellar don't gain any benefit from a single point of aim.
- Stellar can tell where they are aiming by the relative positioning of their hands on the rifle, it's somewhat the same with handguns, too.
- The integrated iron sights are just a back-up that never really gets used but they're there for those rare occasions.
- Those are helical magazines, the rounds are stacked in a spiral inside.
- The rifle platform isn't designed with conventional combat in mind, the adversary the Stellar faced require a lot of direct, non-discrete operations. It's a rifle for a full-on brawls, close-to-mid range combat.
- I've had this idea for an axe blade stored in the buttstock so the rifle can be used as a melee weapon. Upon drawing this rifle for the second time (first time was just a concept sketch) I failed to realize the pistol grip might be in the way. For now I'm just gonna say the grip folds to the side. Not graceful but maybe I'll figure out a more graceful approach in future.

haha well it was mentioned in the list of factoids I read through : D but I've also seen the pp-19 in games so have seen mags in use in such gaming ways!
