Design Details

The A478 is an air-cooled, magazine-fed, electric-operated semi-automatic bullpup rifle that fires 7.62×51mm ammunition, with a maximum effective range of 950 meters, it is inspired from the Kel-Tec RDB. It accepts a fourteen-round detachable box magazine in contrast to its predecessor's fifteen-round magazine.

The ambidextrous magazine release buttons are located directly above the magazine well, behind the trigger.
