Quasi Lore
<Entino-Marfeldt>
The Entino-Marfeldt was one of the first modern rifles to herald the end of the black powder era. Originally in service as the Short-Magazine Entino-Marfeldt, it has been overhauled and improved repeatedly over the years. The last version, the E-44, is still valued in many ex-colonial nations in service today as an accurate rifle.

<Patriot PR-18>
The PR-18 was developed due to a patent dispute between the developer, Mo Steiner, and the Holdt Arsenal. The bulk stamped design made the rifle attractive to revolutionaries and third world countries- but while the PR-18 itself did not have much appeal, it was copied often and widely.

<Yurei Type 64>
The Yurei originally came from an occupied country that developed the rifle for its self-defense force many years after the Great War. The Type 64 still had some teething problems; to this day, the manual talks about iso-tape and disappearing pins. The massive alt stock found a new home in the regions via questionable sources.

<RKD>
The RKD was developed during the Great War, but came too late to have a noticeable impact on the front lines. RKD would only be issued in front line trials during the last days of the war. While tens of thousands were produced, the RKP and BRAL quickly made them obsolete. Thus, they were sold for insultingly low prices to the highest bidders.

<Nitro Express>
The Nitro Express is not a shotgun in that sense, since its barrel is rifled. It is more of a big game hunting rifle, often captured from wealthy poachers.

<FRF-7>
The FRF-7 was developed to compensate for the lack of Tuyao-1 rocket launchers after the embargo. This Launcher is reactive, but due to its light weight, and the length of the reloading process, it is often fired once and then reloaded after the battle.

<Boars .55 ATR>
Boars tank rifle was developed during the Great War to give infantry the ability to take on the lightly armored tanks of the time. It too entered the arsenals through the Colonial period, and for lack of alternative is effectively used as an Anti-Materiel Rifle.

<Brownell HP>
Considered by many to be the improved version of the Holdt 2011 - not least because Brownell designed both.

<Ocelot>
Warlords and generals alike favor the Ocelot, albeit with tactically superfluous engravings. The colonial period ensured that hundreds of thousands of these revolvers were distributed in the territories.

<Senner PDW>
A cherished alternative to the widely used Rapida submachine gun.

<STUZI Mk.5>
The STUZI gun was originally developed towards the end of the Great War to replace the obsolete STULING gun. The name is a combination of the last name of the developer, Edward Stuard, and the arsenal responsible for its production, Zircada. The gun gained a pop-culture status when modified prop versions were used for the villains in a sci-fi movie.


Written by myself- I'm not as good a writer as Sofa or Cravitus, so there's that

Is drongo meant to be a poor country or like a PMC or something?

From the description and design, I feel like the drongos tech would be similar to places in the continent of Africa.

"Drongos"
*The Commonwealth of Drongos*

While some say it's no different from your usual Kestrel nation, the history and uniqueness of the Commonwealth has merited it the nickname 'Drongos' among many people. The ever rising threats to the aging empire's stability in all manner of shapes from religious fanatics, to regional nationalist bearing arms against the monarch have forced the Commonwealth to concede their imperial and colonial policies in a move to desperately lift the sanctions laid upon them by the IPC.

While it has Indeed been lifted, the scars from it's enforcement are still evident. Even though they are rich in natural resources, decades of sanctions have taken a toll against the Commonwealth's economy, which is reflected back on their military who are still using old surplus equipment supplemented with limited domestically produced weapons. With the lifting of sanctions, military assistance from the Union and Federation have slowly began trickling in their doctrine. Adopting a fighting strategy well suited for their limited equipment with the expertise of the Federal Congress and the Union council, their combination of speed like the Kestrels and punch of the two giants have been the staple image of your average Drongo rifleman with his trusty MOWA.

The sight of Drongo grunts reusing captured weapons from insurgents who threw them while fleeing, is the hallmark of most operations. Just as a drongo scares away other animals from their food, so too do the Commonwealth in the name making do with what's avaliable.

Specifically speaking, their not limited to one continent or region of the world, their specifically based on an united Commonwealth of the British Empire, their equipment primarily comes from colonial powers or domestically produced weapons that can’t be found anywhere else

the drongos are a faction inspired by the british commonwealth
the general idea is that it's one nation that is trying to keep a hold of it's collapsing empire
or that kinda thing
the guy who made the idea of the drongos is a buddy of mine.
