Description
The S.I.R., or Standard Infantry Rifle. The idea for this rifle was not mine, but was the idea of the author of "WorldWar Z", a book pretty much about zombies taking over the world. In the book, among the weapons designed to fight them is the S.I.R., a rifle specifically created for anti-zombie warfare. It uses interchangable barrels: short carbine, medium rifle, and long range sniper. It is steel and wood construction, unlike the synthetic plastic firearms of today, so it is more durable. It also has a wide ejection port to avoid jamming, as well as a variety of scopes and sights. In the book, because zombies can only be killed by a clean shot to the head, the gun can only fire in semi-automatic mode, so to improve aim.
Ammunition comes in the form of a bullet called the "PIE round", a round that explodes on impact with a target (being the brains of the living dead).
According to what was written, the design was a combination of the new US XM-8 and AK-47 assault rifle.
World War Z is copywrite author Max Brooks.

of all the interpretations of the rifle, I like yours the best. Others insist on making it more like an m16 or an ak47 derivative. well done!

When i read WWZ, I wasn't really sure how the S.I.R configurtion process worked...
But now, thanks to your illustration, it is all clear....

sorry but this isnt eligable for the contest because the contest is all about designing your own weapons, not rendering others designs or descriptions . . . sorry

This is really cool! Perhaps an idea to make your own design based on this would be to make an assault rifle bull-pup version
