Initiative #23 : IWC2 chosen as standard DDS personal infantry weapon

The Orchid has announced that the IWC2 has been chosen as the new standard personal infantry weapon for the New DDS Army. The IWC2, an updated version of the IWC which was first developed during the Clone Wars, will replace the mixture of weapons currently in use. The IWC2 will be built at 3 factories, on Proxima 7 and New Arit.

The rifle is considered roughly comparable to late AR-100s in use by the HCS. 250,000 have been ordered and deliveries will begin next month.
