“600 meters?” Questioned General Stepanov, an experienced and well trained rifleman who was given authority by the Tsar to inspect the proposed model rifles from the Radenan arms companies.

“600 is correct, we here focused on the requested specifications from the authority of the Tsar himself. Light weight, simple design, and as your men likely have found out awfully sturdy for a rifle of its making and design. Perfect for withstanding temperatures both freezing cold and blazing hot. Wetlands or desert. It functions as intended.” Commented Remizov Yevstigney, a native Radenan Entrepreneur and owner of the fledgling arms company Yevstigney International. To him, this was his chance for his business to finally get a foothold in the national market and possibly even become an internationally recognized.

General Stepanov continued to inspect the rifle, going through its design. The quality of the rifle itself was nothing impressive, but the rifle was not intended to innovate. It relied upon safe and effective designs, from tried and true methods. “It’s a fine weapon Mr. Yevstigney, but it certainly could be better. With your competitor's design still in the works, I think it would be awfully hasty to put your design onto the field so quickly. In the meantime, I suggest improving upon the accuracy of the rifle itself. It may take a beating, but if it can’t hit the enemy then it has the same combat effectiveness as a wooden stick.”

Mr. Yevstigney let out a simple sigh. “I understand your concerns and reasoning. We hope to have improved upon the rifle’s design in due time. Until then General I wish you good luck in your endeavors.”
