The Type-2A Automatic Weapon is the second generation of Automatic weapons used by the Infrastructural Military, put into production in 33IA as a general replacement for the Type-1A Automatic Weapon. A prototype was designed and manufactured in 26 IA, but it was deemed to be to complex to justify the retooling of assembly lines to manufacture the more complex weapon and spare parts when there was a higher priority on other projects related to expansion of manufacturing, railroads, agricultural equipment, transportation networks and shipbuilding when there no pressing need for such an upgrade. Production on the weapon was delayed six years before the first batch was put into production.



The Type-2A Automatic Weapon has some refinements in construction when compared to the Type-IA. Like it's predecessor it is gas operated and is chambered to 11mm ammunition, unlike it's predecessor it does not feed with a magazine but rather uses a canvas belt. The standard belt issued is 250 rounds. The rate of fire is 450 Rounds Per Minute, slightly higher that of the Type-1A. At the time of it's introduction, the Infrastructural Military was still using black powder which meant frequent cleaning was required and did limit it's overall effectiveness. Most of the production run was delivered to the Navy. Production began at a similar rate of that to the Type-2A, but production rates would be doubled in 34IA for the Type-2A in total, but also introduced was the Type-2A/b.



The Type-2A/b was re-chambered for nitrocellulose burning 7.5x60mm Ammunition used in the Type-4R rifle. This improved performance considerably in most regards though the the fact of the matter was that the bottleneck in ammunition production remained, which limited the extent in which the Type-2A/b was employed.
