Weapons of Atherion

An overview of the various Assault Rifles used by Order Alliance forces and Remnant rebels forces.
== Remnant Rebels ==
=== GR M-1 Valkyrie/GR M-2 Fallen Valkyrie ===
During the Uprising, the Remnants quickly found themselves needing a cheap and easily produced weapon to combat the order. The Guardian Remnants Model-1 was the solution to that problem. The GR M-1 has a very basic and efficient design allowing it to handle a multitude of conditions including rain, sand, mud, and snow with remarkably low jamming rate, and the versatile frame allows for a great number of attachments and configurations. The GR M-1 is chambered for 7.62 calibre rounds and has impressive stability and rate of fire, allowing it to tear through even the Order's armour and shielding.
The GR M-1 was created at the end of the first year of the Uprising, when Remnant troops were being constantly routed by Order soldiers. The legend behind the name "Valkyrie" comes from the story of how the first shipment arrived halfway through a loosing battle, just in time to turn the tide and guide the Order soldiers to the afterlife.
The GR M-2 was created roughly a year and a half later, boasting higher accuracy at range with 3 selectable fire modes. The burst-fire has an especially tight grouping. It has earned the name "Fallen Valkyrie" from its earliest recorded use - a mission to take out a small group of elite Order troops that had become infamous for destroying Remnant outposts with no more than six people. The mission was a success, but almost all of the Remnant troops involved in the mission were slain, leaving only a small portion of the unit alive.

=== HCR-50 Mark-V ===
The HCR-50 Mark-V is the primary assault rifle employed by Order infantry, and the twin to the Remnant's Mark-I and Mark-II Valkyrie. One of the most notable features is a failsafe; the weapon locks itself and becomes impossible to use when picked up by Remnant forces in most cases.
