SG 552 S.I.

This rifle is the Team Rainbow standard rifle for Kari as "IQ".  Although every other rifle she's used is a part of GSG-9, this was the particular one chosen for her.  The reason being the 417 was taken by GIGN and the G36C by SWAT.  Many personal modifications have been added to the rifle to compensate for it's disappointing assignment.  Kari chose this rifle over the other two available weapons because of it's stopping power, accuracy, and easy-to-handle recoil.  The other two choices were the Steyr AUG and Hk HK21 LMG.  Kari complains how the AUG is "more like an AR-styled SMG" and the HK21 is "too bulky with a small magazine".  She is right, though.  Swiss weapons were originally used by Simon in VOAU, which is why Kari asked Aki to arrange a meeting with him for adding attachments to the weapon without knowing which would work best.  In this process, her sight preference on the rifle has changed to a more clear sight.
==Weapon Modifications==
*A vertical foregrip was applied to the bottom rail on the hand guard for easier recoil control.  Unlike her 417, it does not have a flashlight
*To add to the recoil management and accuracy over range, a compensator has replaced the standard muzzle on the SG 552
*A US military grade red-dot sight has been added to the rifle to replace using a disorienting and bulky ACOG sight
*Though invisible on the sample picture, a laser sight has been added on the right side of the hand guard.  Also unlike Kari's 417, it is not infrared.  This means her laser is visible to all who can see it
