WEAPONS WEDNESDAY: The OA-93

Beginning June 26, 2013, every Wednesday is Weapons Wednesday at Stone Soldiers. A brief introduction to the weapons of the Stone Soldiers series and how they relate to the world of Stone Soldiers...
 
 
 
THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL HANDGUN SHOULD BE FULLY AUTOMATIC
 
 
 
Built by Olympic Arms, the OA-93 is a scaled down version of the AR-15/M16/M4 used by the U.S. Military and forces around the world.
 
Firing a 5.56mm rifle cartridge, and using AR-15/M16/M4 compatible magazines, the weapons weighs in at a little over 4.5 lbs. It has been featured in a number of films and is actually intended as a two-handed submachine gun, rather than a handgun.
 
Two other, similar weapons were made by Olympic Arms, the OA-96 and OA-98.

  1. This is used by Mark Kenskir in each of the Stone Soldiers books so far. Carried on his right thigh, it serves as Kenslir's main sidearm- suitable for human and non-human, non-hardened targets.
