FR-F1 Series
Notes: The FR-F1
was a sniper rifle of modern design (for its time) and capable of great
accuracy. When introduced in the
1960s, it was ahead of its time, with features such as an adjustable cheekpiece,
a trigger that can be adjusted by a micrometer screw, a scope with an
illuminated reticule, and an iron foresight that can be replaced with nearly a
dozen others. It is basically a
modernized and accurized MAS-36 infantry rifle, but the construction quality and
standards were so greatly improved that the FR-F1 is a totally new weapon.
The FR-F1 was
first produced in 7.5mm French Service caliber, but in the late 1980s, they
began to convert them to 7.62mm NATO ammunition, producing the FR-F2.
In addition to the caliber change, there were also a number of small
improvements and functional changes, such as the metal fore-end being covered
with black polymer (on the FR-F1, the metal fore-end could become too hot to
grip on a hot day or after lots of shooting), and the bipod was moved from the
FR-F1 position at the front of the fore-end to a point just ahead of the
receiver (and also strengthened).
The bipod was also made adjustable, and this new position makes it easier for
the shooter to adjust it. The new
bipod is also attached to a yoke around the rear of the barrel instead of to the
fore-end, which makes the FR-F2 more stable when firing.
Visually, the biggest change is the barrel; on the FR-F2 it is inside a
thick plastic thermal sleeve in order to reduce glare, protect the sighting
through the scope from heat rising off the barrel, and even reduces the IR
signature of the barrel somewhat.
The FR-G1 and
FR-
Twilight 2000
Notes: The program to convert these rifles to the FR-F2 standard was
accelerated, but by 1996, only 50% of them had been converted.
After that, more were actually converted to 7.62mm NATO chambering, but
most of these were simply re-chambered FR-F1s.
Merc 2000 Notes:
Most of these weapons that had been sold overseas have had their caliber
converted.

PGM
Precision Ultima Ratio
Notes: The story
of the Hecate, Mini-Hecate, and Ultima Ratio rifles is a bit complicated.
PGM originally designed and marketed the Hecate and Ultima Ratio;
however, initial response to their products was underwhelming in a market
glutted with sniper rifles and antimateriel rifles, and they ended up having to
go into a partnership for a short time with FN; a part interest and part of the
marketing rights were sold to FN Herstal.
However, a few years later, PGM found new capital and now, PGM stands on
its own, as their products’ reputations and quality have become better known.
(It should be noted that PGM did come away of its short-lived partnership
with FN with some improvements to its rifles.)
PGM does, however, use a large number of local firms to distribute its
products. PGM now stands with other
high-end sniper rifle competitors such as Accuracy International and Sako.
The Ultima Ratio
rifles are a series of specialized sniper rifles using the same base receiver,
but different stocks, barrels, and/or sights.
The receivers are of aircraft-aluminum alloy, and are almost frame-like
in appearance. There are no iron
sights, but Ultima Ratio rifles may be equipped with a Universal, Weaver, or
MIL-STD-1913 rail atop the receiver.
Most of the rest of the metalwork is of high-grade steel, with
ambidextrous controls. The trigger
group is described by PGM and FN as being of military design, but match-quality,
and includes a two-stage trigger.
Pistol grips, fore-ends, and a few other parts are of polymer.
Barrels are match-grade, cold hammer-forged, and built of some of the
finest steel available, and they are generally equipped with somewhat large but
very effective muzzle brakes. These
barrels are also quick release types, and can be replaced with barrels of
different lengths or even barrels equipped with integral silencers.
The barrels are match-quality and of heavy profile. The stocks almost
look rudimentary, but are in fact quite ergonomic and save weight as well.
They have buttplates adjustable for length, height, and angle, and the
buttplates are also equipped with a thick recoil pad.
The Intervention
is the base model, using either 7.62mm NATO or .300 Winchester Magnum, or in
recent years, the new .300 Winchester Short Magnum caliber.
The 7.62mm version can fire either normal or subsonic ammunition, and can
be fitted with a silencer. The
barrel is finned to reduce weight and to promote cooling, and comes in 18.5-inch
and 23.6-inch barrel lengths.
The Ultima Ratio
Commando is variant of the Intervention designed for special operations units.
The Commando is for the most part of the same design as the Intervention,
but the entire Commando version is designed to be shorter and lighter than its
Intervention counterpart. Though the receiver is only slightly shorter, the
stock is quite a bit shorter (but still adjustable in the same manner as the
Intervention’s stock). The barrels
available are 18.5 inches or 21.7 inches, but the barrels are fluted for about a
third of the length of the barrel instead of the long, deeply finned barrels of
the Intervention. The barrels are
also fitted with a smaller, lighter muzzle brake than the Intervention rifles.
Like the Intervention, Commando can be fitted with a special silenced
barrel if chambered for 7.62mm NATO; however, this option is available only with
an 18.5-inch barrel. The .300
Winchester Magnum chambering is not available in the Commando version of the
Ultima Ratio, but the additional chambering of .300 Remington Short Action
UltraMag is. The Commando comes in
two base models: The Commando I with a fixed stock, and the Commando II with a
stock which folds to the left.
After the
restructuring of PGM over the years, available chamberings changed, methods of
use with silencers changed, and PGM decided to make the Ultima Ratio available
to civilians. The biggest change is
that the primary caliber of the Ultima Ratio has changed to 7.62mm NATO; any
chambering above that is no longer produced except by special order.
In addition, the Ultima Ratio is built in several chamberings designed to
make it more friendly to civilians, yet still provide that civilian with a
decent measure of power and range.
The basic forms of the Ultima Ratio are still present (Intervention, Commando I
and Commando II), but in addition, the integrally-silenced Integral Silencieux
and the Custom versions (firing exotic calibers and meant primarily for European
civilians) have been added to the line. Most of these “Custom” versions use 18
or 18.5-inch barrels. The Custom
version comes only in four calibers; it uses an 18-inch barrel except in 6.5-284
Norma, which has an 18.5-inch barrel.
The Integral
Silencieux version deserves some elaboration here.
Available only in 7.62mm NATO, the Integral Silencieux can fire both
standard and subsonic loads (of course, a subsonic load will be much quieter).
The entire 18.5-inch barrel (15.7 inches of which is rifled) is integral
with the silencer; this means that the rifle is more compact and lighter than a
comparable silenced 7.62mm NATO rifle.
It also provides a better measure of silencing than a standard muzzle
silencer; in fact, the capability of the Integral Silencieux at providing
silenced fire using a 7.62mm subsonic round is comparable to the silencing
capability of an HK MP-5SD (that is, the level of noise is similar to that
produced by a toy cap gun).
Accuracy suffers due to the short length of rifled barrel, but the reduction in
muzzle noise and the elimination of virtually all of the muzzle blast can be
invaluable. Finally, the Integral Silencieux is more accurate than a comparable
rifle equipped with a muzzle-mounted silencer, as the design allows the entire
barrel and silencer assembly to be free-floated, and have the equivalent of a
bull profile.
Finally, some of
the specifications and details of construction of the Ultima Ratio changed
during the redesign that accompanied the restructuring, and most notably, weight
changed. The Intervention version
comes only with a 23.6-inch barrel, the Commando I comes only with a 21.7”
barrel, and the Commando II only with an 18.5” barrel.
All iterations of the Ultima Ratio now come with folding stocks.
It should be
noted that, before and after the restructuring, the Ultima Ratio rifles came
with threaded muzzles. This allowed
the use of the PGM-designed muzzle brake or a silencer/suppressor.
PGM, however, stresses that their rifles must not be fired with a bare
muzzle, or even with a muzzle cap screwed on to the end; this will quickly
damage the muzzle to the point where the muzzle brake or a silencer can no
longer be fitted, and to the point where accuracy will become more and more
degraded.
Twilight 2000
Notes: This was very much a French-only weapon during the Twilight War (and of
course, FN did not have an interest in the Twilight 2000 timeline).
The Intervention and Commando in magnum chamberings, in particular, were
the mark of special operations teams.
However, the .300 Winchester Short Magnum chambering is not available in
the Twilight 2000 timeline, nor is .300 Remington Short Action UltraMag. In
addition, any of the versions listed above which came after PGM’s restructuring
are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
Merc 2000 Notes:
This weapon was not sold outside of France, except to certain select
customers.

PGM
Precision 338
Notes: The 338
is related to the Hecate II antimateriel rifle; in fact, it is often called by
its original name, the Mini-Hecate.
The action of the 338 is virtually identical to that of the Hecate II, as are
many other components. The 338
receiver is made from aircraft-quality aluminum, though as the receiver is not a
heavily-stressed component, there is no special reinforcement or thickness to
the receiver. The barrel itself is
cold hammer-forged and made by Lothar Walther, and is fluted and free-floating.
The barrel has as standard a 27.2-inch length, though PGM will sell the
338 with other barrel lengths if requested by the customer; the barrel is tipped
by fairly large muzzle brake with a threaded muzzle allowing the use of a
suppressor. The stock folds to the side, and as with most other PGM sniper
rifles, has been made as light as possible by basically eliminating most of what
would be considered a conventional stock.
Nonetheless, the stock is still adjustable for length and is equipped
with a thick recoil pad, as well as buttplate adjustable for height and angle
and a cheekpiece adjustable for height.
The pistol grip, fore-end, and a few other components are of polymer.
A MIL-STD-1913 rail is mounted atop the receiver; the 338 is normally
sold with a special bipod designed specifically for this rifle, though the slot
in the fore-end mounting the bipod allows for the use of virtually any bipod.
The original
design, the Mini-Hecate, is a bit different from the PGM 338.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The Mini-Hecate is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
