MOW BOARS-8/Variants

Here are the variants of the MOW BOARS-8 rifle.
== Variants ==
=== Factory Standard ===
The Factory Standard represents the initial iteration of the BOARS-8, featuring a 16-inch polygonal rifled barrel, a straight-line non-adjustable fixed stock, and standard iron sights. Despite being considered a "glorified prototype," it has proven combat reliability and power. This variant is commonly found in urban law enforcement and special forces units, serving as a precursor to the refined LB version.
=== Light Support Weapon ===
The LSW variant of the BOARS-8 is tailored for infantry squads or sections seeking a man-portable automatic firearm for rapid and sustained direct firepower. Featuring a heavier barrel to withstand continuous gunfire, the LSW is equipped with an oversized 75-round magazine. Its advanced RTL optical sight utilizes a unique reticle system designed for machine guns, with multiple crosshairs marked at specific distances. This system allows users to engage targets at extended ranges without the need for constant sight adjustments. The Mantra stock, derived from the LB, provides stability and comfort during extended firing sessions, making the LSW an effective light support weapon on the futuristic battlefield.
=== CQB ===
The CQB variant of the BOARS-8 caters to the demands of close-quarters engagements. Retaining the straight fixed stock from the factory version, this variant features a significantly shorter barrel and utilizes the LSW's Suppression Magazine for increased ammunition capacity. Despite not gaining widespread military adoption due to the impractical magazine design and unfamiliar recognition, the CQB variant found utility in unconventional scenarios.
=== LB ===
The Long Barreled, is the most popular variant of the BOARS-8. It is the most commonly used among Winslow Accord forces deployed into large battlefields all around the globe. Heavy, reliable, precise and hard hitting, the LB is infallible in the battlefields where long range combat is prominent.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*The MOW BOARS-8's most popular version is the LB, which is the most common weapon seen in Winslow Accord forces and the version most experts are familiar with.
*The main variant is known as the LB, which is covered on its own page.
*The "Suppression Magazine" is a slightly unrefined extended magazine. While it is reliable, the size is absurd and MILITECH couldn't make it a drum magazine. A belt fed version was also proposed to the LSW's magazine, but the clamshell magwell prevents that from ever working.
*The BOARS-8 LB can be effortlessly used as a marksman rifle.
*MILITECH is said to be working on a submachine gun version of the BOARS platform that will share the same design and mechanism as with the rifle and machine gun counterpart.
