PAS Type 85

The PAS Type 85 is a blowback operated fully automatic 0.23in SMG manufactured by Alethius Sclopetum Fornaces for the Obellian Royal Army and Aedifices. The firearm is chambered in 0.23x1.15in. The Type 85 was created to be a low-cost close-quarters SMG capable of piercing enemy body armor. It is made of inexpensive molded polymer and stamped steel parts. It was originally intended for use primarily by militia and the aedifices for urban combat but it has since been widely adopted by the Obellian army.

Variants
The PAS Type 85 comes in several variants, including:
 * XPAS Type 84, a limited production prototype which included a narrower barrel shroud and a higher fire rate of 1100 RPM. It was abandoned due to heat management and reliability issues.
 * PAS Type 85, the primary production variant used by the aedifices and in militia stockpiles
 * LPAS Type 87, the primary production variant used by the Obellian army. It features a barrel which is 2 inches longer and a rail for attaching sights in place of the integrated patridge sights of the original.
 * ASF-27, a commercial variant with it's automatic fire capabilities removed and the barrel shortened by two inches. Produced from 1987 to 1992.
 * XBrS Type 92, an experimental carbine variant chambered in 0.3x1.5in. Abandoned due to increased weight and lack of interest.
