Description Another of my new Fantasy builds, I decided to make a more traditional rifle, drawing inspiration from the British Lee-Enfield and the German Kar98. Opinions and feedback welcome as always!

Name: M-5 Vanguard Front-Line Rifle
Race:Human
Organisations: Military, Civilian, Criminal
Fire Mode: Bolt-Action
Range: Medium-Long
Magazine Capacity: 5 Round Stripper Clip

The workhorse of almost every Holdfast's army, the Vanguard has been the standard issue rifle for decades among Human militaries. Whilst its fire rate pales into comparison against the newer, semi-automatic rifles that Dwarven and some of the more wealthy Human Lords gunsmiths are capable of creating, the Vanguard makes up for it in terms of the size of the round that it fires, which are far larger than most of the newer rifle's, however this means that the weapon can only hold 5 rounds, which are loaded via a stripper clip. Despite the lower clip capacity, most of the purists will swear by the M-5, and the punch that the weapon delivers, and the extensive training that comes with the familiarity of a weapon that has been in service for decades means that the gap in loading and fire rate is shortened considerably. As well as its extensive use in the militaries, there is a considerable demand in the civilian sector, due to its low cost in maintenance and it's high durability. The Vanguard has many uses in the civilian sector, from bodyguards and merchants guarding caravans, to hunters and farmers defending their crops. However, due the M-5's wide availability and cheap parts, the weapon has also gained popularity amongst bandits and raiders, with many bandits being able to easily loot ammunition and parts from civilians and sometimes even military patrols that they have attacked.

Look like something you'd use on National Service, or keep at home as a reservist, very realistic looking

C'mon man, lets see a Dwarven gun already; I need to see a Dwarven multi-barreled shotmajig and I do believe your the fellow to create it.

Ahaha, all in good time, I'm trying to decide on a style for the dwarven weapons, whether or not it's going to be full on steampunk lead spitting machines of death or a bit more refinement and elegance, or maybe a healthy dose of both? Either way I'll get round to it, along with some elven gear too.
