Developed under a veil of secrecy compared to the majority of other ISIS brand products, Project 1 is founded on one simple principle: To change the landscape of infantry warfare so much as the introduction of the assault rifle did before it.

This first iteration has netted a second requirement for the program; the development of a stable caseless round, one protected from the environment by a thin polymer casing. This casing, when pierced by the firing pin, burns up when the chemical charge is ignited. A small chamber fore of the barrel acts as an evacuator, which itself is easily accessed by flipping up the top cover of the weapon and sliding the barrel upwards, for purpose of cleaning in the field.

Though not the most simple of designs, it has only 2 more moving parts than those found in the ISIS AZ-56, and while not as easy to modify for special purposes, maintains an equivocal rating of accuracy.

The big point of this weapon is that, due to balance of the charges fired and the weighting of the fore barrel, it suffers little to no recoil whatsoever, any shake on firing caused only by the recoil-based action itself. When the fore trigger is pulled, the barrel and receiver are forced back against the 'barrel slide' by the reciprocal energy caused by the escaping gasses, which then turns the barrel to allow another round to enter it. The remaining energy is shot into the two side-set springs in the weapon's stock, to be more-or-less dispelled. A safety sits rear of the fore trigger, and by snapping the magazine release the opposite direction than that required to remove the magazine, the second safety will be enacted. The positioning of the ambidextrous grip and whether or not it will be utilized in the final product are yet to be determined. The layout of the action makes it difficult to place a pistol grip without the magazine sitting in the gravity-fed position, which is undesirable due to the nature of the project.

If a means with which to eject spent shell casings without making the action more complex than it already is and that properly disperses kinetic energy without breaking the system of recoil already in place on the weapon is found, ISIS founder Rillin Orion has stated to the team behind Project 1 that their prerogative will shift to, as well as Project 1 itself, developing a system based on this caseless round design.

As the project is yet to have been released as of 834 within the realm of Corinth, it is assumed as of that point the project is in the final stages of completion.
