The Principality Arms KMP (Ruvelkan: Különleges Mesterlövész Puska; “Special Sniper Rifle”) is a suppressed designated marksman rifle utilizing the subsonic 9×39mm catridge. It was developed in the 1980s for use with the Imperial Fusiliers and was later adopted by the special forces units of the Imperial Army. As a weapon primarily designed for clandestine operations, it is extremely quiet and can be easily stripped down for transport. The KMP saw extensive service during the Zemplen War.
