The '''StG M65''', officially the '''Stormgevär Modell 1965''', is an [[Acrea|Acrean]] 5.56x45mm select-fire rifle designed by the Stuhr Arsenal for the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. The M65 was designed as an adaptation of the Shalumite StG 64, which had been introduced for trials in Acrea the year prior after entering service with the [[Imperial Shalumite Army]]. The M65 was part of a wave of designs submitted to the Acrean military as part of a desire to change to a lighter cartridge than the 7.62mm chambering of the then-standard [[Stuhr StG M51|M51]]. The M51 was ordered for field testing before proper competitive trials could take place; it later competed against the [[KVS StG M68|M68]] carbine from 1966 to 1968, which saw the M68 adopted by the [[Royal Acrean Marine Corps]] and no official decisions by the Acrean Army. The M65 was subsequently procured and adopted on a partial scale, supplementing the M51 and replacing it in some expeditionary and light infantry units.

The StG M65, officially the Stormgevär Modell 1965, is an Acrean 6.8x43mm select-fire rifle designed by the Stuhr Arsenal for the Acrean Armed Forces. The M65 was an adaptation of the Shalumite StG 64, which had been introduced for trials in Acrea the year prior after entering service with the Imperial Shalumite Army. The M65 was part of a wave of designs submitted to the Acrean military as part of a desire to introduce the new 6.8x43mm intermediate cartridge in addition to the then-standard 6.8x51mm M51. The M65 was ordered for field testing before proper competitive trials could take place; it later competed against the M68 carbine from 1966 to 1968, which saw the M68 adopted by the Royal Acrean Marine Corps and no official decisions made by the Acrean Army. The M65 was subsequently procured and adopted on a partial scale, supplementing the M51 and replacing it in some expeditionary and light infantry units.
