DESCRIPTION
Looking to expand their product line once again the designers at Hekler'Kok began developing ideas for a new weapon that they could market. One weapon that gained a lot of traction was known simply as a 'survival carbine'. The concept was that of a rifle caliber firearm the size of a submachine gun that would take up minimal storage spaced and could be stored in small spaces and used in emergencies.

With the idea formulated they began working on a feasible design they could work on. In the end they developed a semi-automatic carbine chambered in the same cartridge as their AR-01, the 6.8x49mm caliber. They decided on this cartridge for two reason, it gave users some familiarity with the weapon if they've used Hekler'Kok weapons previously and the 6.8x49mm is made in both armor-piercing and hollow point models.

From their they began the process of choosing the materials that would be used in the carbines construction. They used their trademark Titanium-Alusteel alloy for the receiver, stock, barrel and internal mechanisms to keep weight down without sacrificing durability. The barrel was lined with Chromium to reduce barrel erosion.
