CARB Base Unit

The CARB Base Unit Automatic RifleThe World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration pg 119 or simply known as the CARB Weapon System, CARB Base Unit or CARB, is an automatic rifle manufactured by Matanza Arms Corp. On Pandora, it is used for both "inside the wire” defensive use and “outside the wire” escort and patrol use. It is notable for its highly modular nature, making it a very versatile and ergonomic weapon.

By itself at its most basic rendition, the automatic rifle functions as a standard assault rifle. With a gas operated, revolving breech it is capable of firing 600 per minute, chambered in 6.2x35. Its magazine capacity consists of eighty rounds, held a disposable plastic box magazine with built-in ammo counter. The rifle features 3 selective fire modes: safety, semi-auto, full auto.
Its bullpup configuration (action and magazine both behind trigger), allows for an increase in the relative length of the barrel and thus more lethality at a distance. What is most notable of the Automatic Rifle however, is the aforementioned modularity. A standard Automatic Rifle can be stripped down into a Combat Shotgun or be armed with a 20mm underslung Shotgun. Its entire barrel can even be removed, turning it into a SMG. It can be equipped with a day/night stabilized optical zoom scope and its trigger mechanism can be swapped out to turn it into a burstfire weapon, to form a Standard Issue Rifle. Alternatively it can be equipped with a twenty millimeter munition launcher to turn it into a heavy Assault Rifle.
