Short Information[]
The ASWS-68 is a direct impingement gas-operated, rotating bolt automatic carbine designed/developed by Franck o'Mello with Magpul Enterprises at TekArk in 2014. Equipped with an integrated internal suppressed advanced gas impingement barrel, the ASWS-68 acronym stands for: "Advanced Suppressed Weapon System - 6.8". This particular type of carbine has special capabilities compared to other weapons in this role. It is a carbine, but it has the size and recoil of a PDW and the power of a battle rifle, powered by the oustanding 6.8mm Remington SPC cartridge, giving the ASWS-68's shooter a very controllable recoil with a great stopping power, even with the ASWS-68's integrated suppressor. The ASWS-68 is one of the best construction made weapons by TekArk, due to the high-tech ultra-resistant Polymer plastics on its body contruction, the same materials used in the Carbon SCR rifle.
