The Sig SG553 or just SG553 is a Swiss Arms assault rifle used in the Forgotten Series. In the series, it is used in various operations performed by various factions, both terrorists, friendly forces, and enemy commando units alike.
==Forgotten: Apocalypse==
This weapon is first seen in the hands of The Hacking Crew in Forgotten: Apocalypse. The weapon is used during The Scam of 2012, specifically during the part where Kimberly Steelman launches a sucessful attempt to rob the Treasury Building in Washington D.C.
It is later seen again when Hannah Smith launches a sucessful terrorist attack on the Grand Central Terminal, New York City, where Hannah mercilessly massacres thousands of innocent civilians (and later policemen). Additionally, the New York Police Department uses it to combat The Hacking Crew after Kimberly's cover is blown while attempting to escape New York after the Treasury Building robbery.
==Forgotten: The Mark==
In Forgotten: The Mark, The Hacking Crew use the SG553 once again during Project Retaliation, the main conflict featured in the novel. Hannah Smith (the new leader of The Hacking Crew) and her fellow terrorists are seen utilizing the assault rifle while shooting pro-Global Tyranny civilians aboard a subway train beneath New York City. Later, it is seen again during a terrorist attack by Cordis Die on the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel at 301 Park Avenue, Manhattan. 
It is also seen in the hands of Global Tyranny Peacekeepers and Morale Monitors at various mark application sites (barracks where people are given the Mark of the Beast). 
==Forgotten: Armageddon==
The SG553 returns in Forgotten: Armageddon, where it is used by Cordis Die, the Inner Circle, Task Force Underdog, Task Force 141, the Russian Army, the Romanian Armed Forces, the Israeli Army, the PLR, and various other factions fighting against the Antichrist in the novel.
Much like the first two novels, it is used in terrorist attacks, but this novel marks the rifle's first use in major battles and conflicts, particularly during Project Takeover, the Israeli Campaign, and Project Damnation.
==Trivia==
*It is the signature weapon of various characters in all three novels.
*It is mostly seen in full auto, though it is sometimes used in semiautomatic and three-round burst.
