A pixel reference sheet for the ZAWA.

The ZAWA was created during the mid to late 20s in India out of the need to have something better then the Enfeld ZA and ZAW, namely a weapon that was originally designed with a magazine and a detachable one at that. It also boasted a dedicated ammo maker inside the gun itself This freed up satchel bags to create other stuff instead of ammo for their standard rifles although it increased the weight of the gun greatly compared to what it could have been otherwise. The ZAWA used the same pullback mechanism as earlier guns but had a better pullback mechanism thus it needed to be pulled back less then it's predecessors. The front could also mout things such as bayonets and laser sights.

The ZAWA here does not have it's computer slate so technically it can't fire, the slate acts as it's ballistic computer but also needs it to fire which helps prevent enemies from using it.

The ZAWA's basic design would endure forever becoming the basis on many guns in the Mangy Mesozoic and all later versions of the ZAWA which was India's standard rifle as well as Tisherland's and Javnesia's. It also was widely used by Vervoo, Russia and what was originally called East Africa / African Union, as well as being used by Desertret all starting in either the early or mid Mangy Mesozoic. It would also eventually spread as the Mangy Mesozoic met other's on their would and others.
