Since the early 2000's, the Narsoran military had been seeking a replacement for their aging infantry rifles, but were dissatisfied with options at the time.

The CIDE RIE-20 or Rifle de Infantería del Ejército (Literally: Army Infantry Rfile) is a 5.56×45mm NATO, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle that is produced by the government owned Center for Army Research and Development and manufactured by Galindo Heavy Industries in the Republic of Narsora.

The RIE-20 is the new standard issue service rifle of the Narsoran National Army.

Development

The first indigenous assault rifle created by the Center for Army Research and Development was the RA-98 in the late 1990's. In 2010, the Narsoran military had been working on a replacement for the rifle, but due to budgetary constraints, this project was halted. Development was restarted in 2012 and continued over a period of five years, culminating in the RIE-20. And, after two years of testing it was officially chosen to be the army's new standard issue infantry rifle in August 2019.

Design

The weapon, like it's predecessor, is based off the AKM though specifically tailored to the Narsoran National Army's requirements; Chiefly, the rifle is modular, with the user able to quickly change to a different barrel relatively quickly and the weapon's iron sights are modular as well. The rifle also has an ambidextrous design, much like it's predecessor.

Variants

RIE-20C: A carbine version with a 368mm (14.5 in) barrel. To be issued to airborne units.
