The BR-10 Service Rifle is a Belfrasian-designed 7.62×63mm semi-automatic weapon that was the standard issue service weapon of the military from 1935 until it's replacement by the modified upgrade to it, the BR-28 Battle Rifle, in 1960. Even after it's replacement as the primary service weapon, it still saw service until the early 1980s in the Federation Guard and is now used in a purely ceremonial role, being used by drill teams, honour guards, and often used by both military and civilian personnel for target and competition shooting.

The BR-10 was designed to offer a semi-automatic, rugged service weapon to the military to replace the bolt-action BR-1 Bolt-Action Rifle

Development

The designed weapon is a gas-operated, semi-automatic rifle that has an internally-built magazine which is fed from a top-side entry port for en-block clips that is inserted into the magazine and held in place while the ammunition it carries is fired. When the final round is fired and the clip is empty, it is ejected from the weapon and locks the bolt open, allowing for a rapid reload of the weapon. Once a new en-bloc clip is loaded and pressure is removed (a person pushes the clip into the magazine and removes his hand from it) the bolt is released to close, chambering the first bullet of the clip and readying the weapon to fire. Should a clip need to be removed manually, a clip latch button is featured on the weapon which will eject it similarly to when it is empty. While it is possible to load ammunition into an installed clip, it is not preferable as the risk of loading dirt will lead to an increased risk of malfunction, as the weapon itself is rugged and versatile when the bolt is closed, but vulnerable when the bolt is open.

The barrel of the weapon is designed to accommodate a bayonet or a rifle grenade, at which point the clip would need to be removed and blank cartridges loaded to fire the rifle grenade.
