Weapons of Atherion/SMGs and Sidearms

A list of all SMGs and Sidearms used by the Order Alliance and Remnant Rebels
== Remnant Rebels ==
=== MP-6 "Heckler" ===
The Guardian Remnants developed the Machine Pistol 6 by cross-referencing two different Order designs to create a remarkably versatile bullpup style Personal Defense Weapon. The weapon comes chambered in many different calibres, though the standard is 10mm Auto. It is easily reconfigured in a very short time, even capable of altering the chambering simply by switching out pieces of the kit with pieces for different calibres. It is sturdy and fairly reliable, though prone to user error if reconfigured by an untrained user, so it is still advised to leave reconfiguration to specifically trained individuals. The collapsible stock and ergonomic grip make it easy to transport, and the magazine well configuration makes magazine swapping quick and easy.
The weapon tends to be somewhat lacking in power, but it makes up for it with accuracy and fire rate, and variants configured for greater range and lower RPM are capable of packing a punch and range equivalent to an assault rifle, though the extended barrel required for such makes it less maneuverable, and the weapon sometimes has difficulty with rifle-sized rounds, leading to complications during loading.
The weapon got its name from its ability to keep a consistent line of fire on enemies with only two parties firing, thanks to the short reload and high reliability, making it quite a nuisance to foes - a potentially lethal nuisance that tears through shielding and armor alike with remarkable speed if not interrupted. Standard magazine size is 28.

=== SSA-3 Mark-II 'Shadow' Infiltration sidearm ===
A complex multipurpose gun, the MK-II is a silenced semi automatic 
pistol with an internal silencer. the weapon is equipped with a 
retractable single edged straight blade and internal pivot that rotates 
the entire upper portion of the gun when the blade extends, converting 
the gun into a lightweight sword. The SSA-3 is composed of 
high-temperature ballistic plastic that is extremely light, while the 
blade is a composite ceramic, because the weapon itself contains no 
metal, it cannot be detected by magnetic sensors, while the plastic and 
ceramic were designed so they do not appear on x-ray scans, the light 
weight and virtual invisibility of the weapon to sensor mean it is ideal for spies, this earned it the nickname 'shadow'. due to issues with the particular plastic blocking wireless signals, the MK-III (equipped with the new implant-based fail-safe) was never implemented, as it would lock randomly when it lost connection to the owners implant, registering the loss of connection as a flat-line.

=== GW SAP-210/GP-250 ===
The Guardian Wolves' Side Armament Prototype 210, and the more commonly known the Guardian Pistol 250, are virtually identical. In the beginning of the Ancient War, the Guardian Wolves created and tested a vast number of lesser-known prototypes to try and match the Arcadian Empire's technology. Both pistols are known for their incredible reliability, being practically impossible to jam without intentionally doing so.
====== GW SAP-210 ======
The first to succeed in doing so was the GW SAP-210. It was heavy and large, but used .45 HD rounds, or forty-five calibre High Density rounds, which boast a greater mass and impact for the same size of bullet, allowing for greater damage against all targets, and greater effect against shielding and Aura protection. For its type, it had impressive range, and the weapon's weight aided it's stability (though it suffered from a reduced rate of fire compared to the Arcadian's sidearms). The weapon's increased mass was primarily so it could handle the extra stress and higher explosive yield required for the HD rounds. Unfortunately, the cost of the weapon combined with the cost of the HD rounds made it difficult to maintain and continue production.
Several different versions of the SAP-210 are still in circulation, and although they are no longer in production, occasional shipments lost during the war turn up to keep the supply alive. Variations include a type chambered for .50 calibre rounds, a .38 Rifle Round variant featuring a mid-range scope, and several attempts at smart-link technology to interface with helmet HUDs that met with varying degrees of success. The default configuration features standard low-light iron sights. The standard magazine size is 8 rounds (+1).
(For a description, see a M-1911 with larger size and more metal.)
===== GP-250 =====
The Guardian Pistol 250 saw its first production near the end of the Great War, and continues to see common use today on all sides. Some say that the design was first forged in Spira, and was reverse-engineered by Arcadian scientists and mass produced, while others insist it was an Arcadian design that was stolen by the Guardian Wolves and adapted for their assembly lines. The truth is far less glamorous: Thrylean engineers purchased stolen blueprints for the GW SAP-210 from the Arcadians along with a contract to make it more plausible and versatile. The engineers, being a neutral party under no contract of exclusivity, were more than happy to sell their completed product to the Guardian Wolves as well, effectively leveling the playing field regarding standard-issue sidearms. 
The GP-250 is almost identical to the SAP-210 in design, but boasts lighter weight and slightly smaller size, resulting in quicker handling and easier aim, with slightly lower stability and higher rate of fire. Due to its lighter weight, the GP-250 does not come chambered to handle HD rounds, though it still uses other variants of .45 calibre (standard, FMJ, Hollow-point, explosive). Standard configuration comes with low-level iron sights, but common alterations include a red-dot or holo sight. There is a .50 version available, but it is more susceptible to jamming than most models. Some issues include fully-functional smart-link capability versatile and simple enough to connect to any HUD system created within the past 30 years (and some earlier). The standard magazine size is 11 rounds (+1). It is also available in burst-fire (GP-250B), or the fully automatic GP-251A. Category:Weaponry
