Description A semi original weapon I made for my imperial world.

The Krasnikov Mk VII Heavy Autogun belongs to the Astra Militarum regiments of Kray Mira, though it is mostly used by it's Planetary Defense Force.
It is a selective-fire Auto Weapon designed to serve as a cheap and dependable firearm for urban combat which must combine a high rate of fire with high stopping power. This pattern was created shortly after the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum and quickly became one of the most popular Auto Weapons on the planet. This weapon is know for its simple and modular construction which make almost as reliable as the venerable Lasgun, making it ideal for trainees considered to be "green" to handle proper Las Weapons. It has many different variations, factory-made and otherwise, some of which are modified to serve as "squad automatic weapons", having a rate of fire of between 600 and 900 RPM. It possesses a simple fire selector allowing the user to fire single shots, three round bursts or fully automatic streams. This pattern is a variant of the standard Krasnikov Mk VII Autogun that has been altered to make use of a high-capacity magazine and was created for use as a man-portable automatic firearm attached to infantry squads or sections as a source of rapid direct firepower. It fires the same ammunition as the Autogun carried by other members of the unit. This reduces logistical requirements by making it only necessary to supply one type of service ammunition to a unit. These weapons are light enough to be carried and operated by one infantryman, unlike Heavy Stubbers and Autocannons which require a crew to operate at full effectiveness.
This weapon has a longer barrel than the standard Krasnikov Mk VII Autogun, is more resistant to damage when handled roughly and is also slower to overheat during sustained fire. Because of their availability, Krasnikov Autoguns are often used by chaos cults, hive gangers and common criminals.
Like any other Auto Weapon, the Krasnikov Mk VII uses caseless ammo with projectiles made of metal, plastic and/or ceramics, and can be fed via double or quad stack magazines. Additionally, it can fire a large variety of ammunition types, such as incendiary rounds, explosive micro-shrapnel, bolt rounds, ripper darts, solid slugs and stun shells.

As with my previous post, it's kinda inspired on the Soviet Union and modern day Russia. Hope you like it!
