Kong Defense Bureau JS-68

6.8x37mm select fire machine pistol.

 

A machine pistol developed by Kong Development Bureau, notorious for "borrowing" popular firearm designs. The JS-68 is based off the Shanxi Type-18 machine pistol, which was a cancelled copy of the Mauser M712, a magazine-fed deriative of the popular Mauser C96. It also borrows the distinctive jointed bolt of the Luger P08.

 

The .45 cal ACP round that the Type-18 fired was inadequate against modern body armor, so the Kong Bureau started work on an experimental tungsten piercer round, very similar to 6.5x25mm CBJ round that the Saab-Bofors CBJ-MS fires. The new 6.8x37mm round is a modification of the 6.8mm Remington SPC, with a newer, high pressure load to compensate for the slightly shorter casing and round.

 

The barrel has also been redesigned to accomandate a gas piston and barrel shroud, important for continuous fire, and the newly designed casket magazine can hold 45 rounds, also important for its voracious fire rate of 1200 RPM. The magazine also doubles as a grip, ideal for weapon control.

 

All in, the JS-68 has assault rifle grade firepower, all packed in a concealable package. As such, it has become popular with military officers, PMC, special forces, and bandits.
