The MDR, or 'Micro Dynamic Rifle', is an gas-operated, semi-automatic bullpup rifle platform developed by American firearms company Desert Tech (previously known as Desert Tactical Arms). It was designed with the goal of being modular and highly modifiable to suit the individual user's preferences. It was also designed to be completely ambidextrous, with all weapon controls and the charging handle being accessible regardless of the shooter's preferred side. | The MDR, or 'Micro Dynamic Rifle', is an gas-operated, semi-automatic bullpup rifle platform developed by American firearms company Desert Tech (previously known as Desert Tactical Arms).

This is achieved with the use of two plates, which fit over the MDR's ejection port. One plate houses the ejector, responsible for pushing spent casings off of the bolt, and the other plate acts as a chute guiding the spent casing out of the gun. When the gun is fired, the backwards travel of the bolt activates the ejector, pushing the brass casing into the ejection chute. The bolt then travels back forward, pushing the spent casing down the chute and out the gun and simultaneously loading the next round into the chamber. These two plates can be easily removed and swapped to opposite sides of the gun, allowing the MDR to be quickly modified for a left-handed shooter.<ref name = "Forgotten Weapons MDR">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbrH_S2Nppo Forgotten Weapons video on the MDR (Gen 1)]</ref> |
As part of their goal of making the gun as adaptable as possible, Desert Tech offers the MDR in several different calibers. Changing between calibers is relatively painless, simply requiring swapping to a bolt head and barrel for the desired caliber and a magazine well adapter to accommodate the new magazine. First generation MDRs were offered in .223/5.56 NATO and .308/7.62 NATO, and the later MDRX model introduced chambering options for .300 Blackout and 6.5 Creedmoor. | As part of their goal of making the gun as adaptable as possible, Desert Tech offers the MDR in several different calibers.

Due to some design revisions and complications in the manufacturing process, it wasn't until 2017 that the MDR became available on the commercial market. The early MDRs had some issues, namely with the 7.62 NATO variants, which had problems properly extracting certain brands of military surplus ammunition. Desert Tech, to their credit, took these criticisms to heart, and made several modifications to the MDR to fix these issues. MDR owners were able to send their guns in to the manufacturer to receive these upgrades at no additional cost. All of the improvements made for the original MDR were made standard on the later MDRX model, which is identical in appearance to the original model, along with some added improvements.<ref name = "Flannel Daddy MDRX">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq2Jzn6qCHQ Garand Thumb video on the MDRX]</ref> |

MDR is one of a number of T-Dolls with heterochromia, and has one blue eye and one pink eye. She has long silvery-white hair reaching to her lower back, accented with a neon pink highlight. She has tied up one side of her hair into a side-tail. |

She wears a large black and dark blue jacket with neon pink trimming, under which is a thinner gray soft-shell jacket. She sports a black skirt over a set of black tights. In her damaged art, we can see that she wears a pair of light blue panties, presumably with a matching bra. A beret, a pair of black high-top sneakers, and numerous pouches and belts completes the ensemble. MDR carries with her a range bag, inside which she carries a number of important items: a phone charger shaped like a grenade, a tablet, a gaming device (potentially a gift from RFB), a pair of earbuds, and some packs of rations. |

| − | + | Of course, there's no way MDR would dare miss out on the Halloween celebrations. To this end, MDR dons a bewitching blue and black dress with a spider web pattern on the front. The dress is adorned with black frills, and a number of spooky decorations can be seen hanging around her waist beside a pair of small bat wings made out of pink fabric (presumably). MDR's left arm is covered by a black glove stretching to the middle of her upper arm, while on her right arm she's sporting a black full arm gloveless sleeve with a cross-hatched pattern. For legwear, MDR has elected to wear a set of black pantyhose with bats printed on them, and for shoes she's chosen a pair of dark blue ankle boots. Her long silver hair has been done up into two small buns, with the rest being allowed to flow out behind her. A pair of small black horns can be seen poking through her hair, and her ears are pointed (likely due to extensions of some kind). Behind her, MDR's drone has been outfitted to carry a white sheet done up to look like a ghost. | |
