Wyles Armory Mark-III Rifle

The Wyles Armory Mark-III Rifle, also known as the WAM-III Rifle, was a quite successful hunting rifle designed and produced during the latter decade of the 23rd century. It was often used to hunt medium-sized game as well as smaller game, including deer, black bears, goats, and wolverines both on Earth and on artificial forests on a freshly terraformed Mars. By the end of the 24th century, over four million WAM-3's were sold, making it a quite successful weapon.
==Usage==
===United Nations Space Command Defense Force===
The Mark-III saw limited usage as a training weapon in the UN military. They often utilized blanks or an airsoft model of the WAM-III for training exercises, though this was finished with by 2313. The military also experimented with the weapon's capabilities as a short range anti-personel weapon, though it was cut from the trials fairly quickly.
===Koslovic Rebels===
In 2295, the remnants of the Koslovic rebel movement began to take interest in the Mark-III's capabilities as a silenced rifle. They began aquiring these rifles en masse along with their 24-round magazines, and with the help of a reflex or red dot sight, used the WAM-III to fill the long-range rifle niche. By 2400, the rebels had aquired over 10,000 of these rifles via the black market. Some were modified to have a longer barrel and others to have fully automatic capabilities, though the latter's results were rather inconsistent. Nonetheless, the Mark-III was a favorite among a number of rebels.
