HDSR uses standard ETC HMG ammunition. It is still under field tests.
Because HDSR has barrell lenght less than average (to reduce lenght and weight)
HE and HEAP are obsolete when compared to DS ammo. Of course this barrel type
is only 6 cm shorter than average so it is arguable if designers should
change barrel lenght.
Weapon is designed to be manufactured in TL-9 using TL-10 receivers and TL-12
magazine batteries.
It is also possible to remove bipod from weapon. As you can see the weight of
the weapon drops to 33 Kg, that is quite manageable. It doesn't affect recoil.
Althought this weapon is designed to be a long range sniping weapon it is also
good to have some close range support ammo and that is flechette ammo.
