Y21 Standard Assault Rifle The Y21 was designed by the State Arms Corporation in discussion with AFS special forces. It was found that any rifle fit for special forces would be good enough for regular service members of the military. The rifle uses the Standard AFS 7.5x50 round, lightly based on the Soviet era 7.56x51. The round is large enough to affect lasting damage, and the stabilizing system integrated into the Y21, allows more control over the rifle when firing such a large round. Standard sights use laser dot technology, though ZING scopes are standard attachments (pictured above) in the special forces. The rifle includes a solid butt, a 45 round magazine, with high capacity magazines also available, and ease of repair and cleaning, through the use of tool-less disassembly. The fore-grip is standard, as another means of controlling the larger round. The pistol grip is also specially designed to allow firing with ease and comfort, improving accuracy of the shooter.

T15 Sub-Machine Gun Designed by the State Arms Corporation, the T15, like the Y21, was designed with special forces in mind. It is portable and easily used gun, fitted for the AFS Standard SMG 10x25. The Y21 was based off this SMG to facilitate easy switching between weapons. The standard sight is a laser-dot sight and the magazine has a 50 round capacity. Silencers come with all weapons, though are used only in special cases. Laser and flashlight attachments are standard in the special forces. The weapon is used by all tank crew and airplane crew members.

S22 Sniper Rifle Designed for special forces by the State Arms Corporation, the S22 was based from Israeli rifles. The sniper rifle uses the Standard AFS Long-Range Sniper 15x125. Silencers are optional, but come with each rifle. The design of the rifle is made to spread the force of the kick formt eh large round out so that the sniper can make as many as twenty shots in succession without worrying about rifle movement. Much of this system is based from the Barrett spring system. This rifle is an important part of the AFS arsenal and may be coming to a front near you. Permission must be sought to buy these from the AFS.

P19 Pistol The P19 was designed by State Arms Corporation for AFS special forces. It chambers the AFS standard pistol round 12x20 which was also designed for this pistol by the Navy R&D Corps. Gloating a rubberized grip and a 15 round magazine, this pistol is something to be reckoned with.

Stealth Fighter-Bomber Sadalsuud-18 The Sadalsuud was designed by the American Marine Aviation Administration (AMAA) to be used in aircraft carriers. The idea was that the same aircraft could be used in multiple areas and was thus designed for marine use. It fulfils all air roles as an air-superiority fighter for the AFS: fighter, bomber, anti-submarine, anti-personnel, anti-tank, etc. Its design is most known for its forward-swept wings, which move stress points on the plane to different areas to enable better manoeuvrability and speed. The aircraft has moved into full production and is expected to be the standard aircraft of the AFS by 2028. Export is made under only very stringent pre-conditions. The stealth technology is enabled by its flat design and lack of armaments on the outside of the craft in addition to the radar reverberating technology employed by other parts of the AFS defense industry.
