NaCh 7.62, Ogtomat, Saladin I

I think I could marry this thing

 

Designed in 1945 and introduced to service in 1948, Saladin is a very capable rifle. Feeding from 20-rounder magazines, and using the Czech 7.62x45mm round, it was very loosely based on the AK-47's system, even though it barely resembles the rifle both internally and externally. It is able to mount a bayonet and a scope, the latter which fits the rifle very well, as it was surprisingly accurate for Altayi standards. It has a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute.

 

Entering service just in the middle of a time of border conflicts, it was quickly baptized by fire, and proved to be very effective against Soviet troops. Essentially being able to beat the AK-47 in every category but capacity (which could be improved to a capacity of 35 rounds by a field modification!), and proved to be the favorite of soldiers. Even though it has recently started service, it has already gained a fanbase of sorts, and will likely stay in service for a long, long time.
