It’s been 30 years since Dark Conspiracy was released, and in that time the world of weapon technology has both changed and remained the same. In the military sphere time often seems to stay still, with development slow and steady; Generals want mass produced reliable weapons. In the private sector, however, the desire for the most effective and deadly weapons is to the fore (especially with the rise of independent security firms).
One such company meeting these needs is Knight’s Armaments (KAC) and their range of tactical and assault weapons. In this article we present this real-world company’s foremost arms converted into Dark Conspiracy 1st Edition ready statistics.
Knight’s Armament Company was founded in 1982 and was initially best known for producing working with Eugene Stoner and their development of a standard rail interface system for attaching firearm accessories (such as reflex sights, red-dot sights, back-up iron sight, bipods/tripods, and bayonets) . In more recent years they have developed their own range of AR-15 based semi and fully automatic weapons, with a focus on improving accuracy and reliability to these style firearms. Below are examples of their most popular…

Good article but I have a few observations in regards to the SR-15 and SR-30.
The SR-30 uses .300BLK ammunition and not 7.62mm NATO and it uses a 9.5 inch barrel compared to the 16 inch barrel of the SR-15 so it appears that the Bulk stats are around the wrong way.
Getting into some nitty-gritty, the .300BLK has a shorter range than the 5.56mm fired from the same length barrel (300 metres versus 500 metres) but the SR-30 is fitted with a barrel just over half the length of the SR-15.
With both those factors taken into consideration I’d argue that the range for the SR-30 should be maybe 40 rather than 65?
