AEI or Advanced Extension International is a firearms manufacturing company which specializes in creating high-performance rifles, submachine guns, and other firearm types. Their specialty is focused primarily on assault rifles, particularly assault rifles meant for military usage; civilian-based rifles are also made by AEI.
AEI was founded in early 2016 in Vienna, Austria, where the current headquarters for AEI is located. Their first firearm was the Spectre-1, made in summer 2016, which officially became the predecessor for the main rifle platform of the same name. AEI has been known for producing firearms capable of chambering uncommon calibers, such as the .300 AAC Blackout round and the 6.8x39mm Grendel. AEI is also looking to developing their own caliber for their own assault rifles but the project has been halted until a design has been brought up. Now AEI has spread to countries such as the United States, Canada, as well as other countries nearby in Europe.

'As the quietest of night, this new rifle from AEI will make sure your enemies face the sorrow of it's powerful 6.8x43mm Special Purpose Cartridge round. A four-way RIS also ensures your rifle stays as tactical as possible, to gain an upper hand over your adversaries.' - Advanced Extension International, Austria

The AEI MSCR (Midnight's Sorrow Concept Rifle) is a conceptualized bullpup assault rifle, chambered in 6.8x43mm Remington SPC rounds. It is also AEI's first concept rifle not being a part of their flagship Spectre weapons platform.
The MSCR was codenamed 'Midnight's Sorrow' as to set an objective for the purpose of this rifle - create an internally suppressed tactical assault rifle, capable of holding a four-way RIS and utilizes a powerful rifle cartridge. Originally, the MSCR was not supposed to be a bullpup configuration but eventually as the concept grew, the design changed over time. The lower receiver was recycled from an AK-styled ACR, and was outfitted with an AEI fire selector, capable of automatic, semi-automatic, and safety firing modes. The upper receiver was a special receiver compatible with the ACR and the MSCR, featuring a four-way RIS for maximum tactile customization. This allowed shooters to mount on laser sights, scopes, and grips as they pleased onto the weapon.
The suppressor was the key item to the weapon, and was also the reason the rifle was called the 'Midnight's Sorrow'. The suppressor was a new suppressor unveiled by AEI and was classified as the AEIT-2. This suppressor was first seen as an internal part for the base MSCR rifle, and had suppressed the rifle to a sound level of 122 dB. AEI had contrasted the quiet noise levels as the silence heard during the night. The 'sorrow' part comes from the bullet cartridge - a standard 6.8 SPC round - which compensated the terminal deficiencies of the original 5.56x45mm NATO round. The 6.8 SPC traveled at a steady 810 m/s (2,650 ft/s), which was suitable for the weapon, taking note of the fact a suppressor was attached to the rifle.
Against other rifles chambering 6.8x43mm, the AEI MSCR outperformed combat rifles such as the LWRC M6 and the Six8. The rifle performed far better compared to the HK416 and the M4A1, all of which were tested using the original 5.56x45mm NATO round.
All MSCRs were outfitted with closed, foldable iron sights, and came with tritium-illuminated STANAG 2324 rails for easier vision in total darkness. The weapon was awfully fast, clocking in at an amazing 950 rounds per minute. Magazine emptying time came at an astonishing 2.65 seconds, and recoil was designated as minimal. There was only one downside to the weapon - the lack of a visible bolt. This made it impossible to manually unload the weapon. However, AEI had compensated this by installing a button on the lower receiver, which ejects bullets out through the AK magwell. The intricate weapon loading system was considered 'difficult to understand' as AEI engineers claim that in order to eject bullets, the round must first be deviated off course, where it'll travel downward to the AK magwell instead of the bolt system and become unloaded.
AEI also states they will be making more versions of the MSCR, including a non-bullpup configuration, as well as a light machine gun variant; however, because the MSCR is a concept rifle, such development will take quite some time.

From May 13-23, 2013, teams gathered for the EcoCar 2 Year Two Competition at the General Motors Desert Proving Grounds in Yuma, Arizona and at locations throughout San Diego, California to compete in more then a dozen technical, communications, and business events. Throughout the ten days, vehicles participated in engineering test similar to those conducted by the automotive industry to determine a prototype's readiness for production, and ultimately prove the viability of their advanced technology vehicles.

This bike was a real dream, and to be honest a real surprise. When we got on it after riding the TCR Advanced we thought that it would be sluggish in comparison. But it wasn't, fast yes, comfortable yes. Great bike for 2012.

A beamline scientist at the Advanced Photon Source aligns a sample of a computer chip in the nanodiffractometer, which allows for structural characterization of individual nano materials. This one-of-a-kind high-energy X-ray detector can focus on a wide variety of material structures with high resolution on a 200-nanometer sized area, much smaller than the typical diffraction detector micron range. The upgrade of the APS will increase focusing to 50 nanometers.
