    During weapons trials in the late Interwar period, Koa Straya sought to garner several military contracts with an unconventional bullpup design that fires tiny arrows called Flechettes. It uses saboted ammunition with fin-stabilized tungsten arrows, that sat in a telescoped casing. It used a downwards ejection system once the spent casing was fired. While the weapon wasn't chosen over the venerable A-15 or D-74, it still had several manufactured prototypes, and the blueprints for the weapon are still kept in Koa's archives. The advantage of the weapon's unconventional ammunition is the higher overall armor piercing performance with the elongated flechettes, but they were prone to deviation at longer ranges, and due to materials science at the time, was hazardous to the operator and anyone near the operator. These flaws are why it wasn't adopted. Later, post-cataclysm test models utilized much more advanced materials science and eliminated the shortcomings.
