Today's war gaming and first person shooters has advanced greatly from what it was 4 decades ago, and PLUG is planning to take it further. The single player is a large extensive storyline that allows the player to join multiple divisions of the PLUG military group and get behind the story of how PLUG was created. "Valentine" or Sergeant Curtis E. Love is a fictional character that created PLUG, after taking serious injuries from one of his missions in Russia secretly taking out a Soviet base. Other details for the campaign will be added later. The Multiplayer mode is going to be a mass multiplayer online, other details will be added.

Description
Semiautomatic Rifle that fires a 7.62x51mm cartridge like an FN FAL. It has a 10 round magazine.
There are a couple of major design flaws in regards to this weapon, so I'll share them with you. The first is the location of the mag. From what I can see, the foregrip actually covers the mag and you slide the foregrip up in order to release the mag and insert another. This is bad for two reasons. Firstly, it increases the amount of time needed to change out a mag, and that is something that any professional soldier would hate. In fact, I really cannot see a weapon with such a slow reload time passing R&D.
Secondly, the foregrip is in a really awkward position. It's too close to the pistol grip and, apart from crowding the soldier's arms and making it hard to hold the rifle, it's not going to stabilise the rifle, which is the main purpose of a foregrip. If anything, it's going to destabilise the rifle and cause more problems. A good foregrip should also allow a soldier to get their hand as close to the actual gun as possible, so that it is more streamlined/less awkward for them.
Other problems include the short barrel, if the image is to scale, and the location of the foregrip. If the barrel is to scale, it's much to short. The bullet won't achieve anywhere near maximum velocity and the combination of a massive flash and extremely loud report is going to make this weapon highly impractical. It also negates the need for a scope, since a short barrelled rifle like this is not going to be shooting at any great distance.
