=== General ===
* The R8 is Gould's most successful design so far. The RA2065 may have been used in combat, but it is notoriously unreliable.
*Gould Armaments has ensured that the Alomar R8 is cybernetic-friendly, accommodating the unique needs and capabilities of augmented soldiers. It features an ergonomic grip and controls optimised for cybernetically-enhanced operators.
* The Alomar utilises the standard 7.8x54mm cartridge used by the MOW BOARS-8 and various other MILITECH weapons.
* The R8 is slightly more accurate than the typical BOARS-8 that is used both as a battle rifle and a marksman rifle.
* It was named after one of its engineers, Saraya Alomar.
* Accurised R8s are suited for the sniper role due to the faulty RA2065 and the weird RA-PIPER.
