Firearms

In A-888, there are 2 types of firearms.

## LARGE SLOT; PRIMARIES

These firearms will range from a small SMG to the heaviest HMG.

These firearms are large and often reload slow. It's always wise to bring along your sidearm alongside them, but more often than not, these will be far more powerful than the sidearms you are provided. You are provided only a single large firearm at the start of the game, or you can choose to bring spare mags for your small slot / secondary.

[ Blackout-ILO ]

*Available in the Lobby.*

The Blackout is a simple rifle, it fires an accelerating .404VL round, gaining more power as it travels through the air then drops what you need dead and doesn't ask any questions. Fitted with a Medium Zoom Illuminating Optic, mercenary group VEK has designed the rifle as the perfect DMR that is also extremely simple to take down and maintain due to the revolver styled clip fed design. Its power is unmatched at range and rewards precision above all else.

[ M&A FD404 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE BLACKOUT-ILO ]

Man and Arms are known for their classis no non-sense design that may be a little outdated for the modern era, but perfectly serviceable and affordable. The FD404 is one of them, using the powerful .404VL accelerating cartridge, the FD404 is a powerhouse while using a more familiar ergonomic design. In addition, a proprietary system that automatically disengages the firing pin upon the release of a magazine means it has unparalleled safety although it does require operation of the charging handle with every magazine insertion.

[ ShellOut Modkit ]

[ VARIANT OF THE BLACKOUT-ILO ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

A lightweight modkit that changes the Blackout-ILO to chamber and fire 10. ga slug shells. Said shells had to be fit lower pressure or else could severely damage the barrel although came with improved recoil control and handling. The modkit sees limited use outside of civilian use who wanted an easy to maintain shotgun due to the simple construction and something just different enough to make a statement.

[ GT-S2 Battle Rifle ]

*Available in the Lobby.*

Originally developed by war veteran Gerald Treyton, the tried and tested battle rifle has been a workhorse by military police ARK for the longest time and shows no sign of stopping. Spanning several model iterations, this one is the S2 design featuring a suppressor, short-bolt conversion to improve cyclic rate and a enhanced semi-locked trigger system for improved trigger response. Not like you would want to full auto the powerful .32-08 Mordread round, a bullet capable of retaining its lethality even past the considered 'effective range' while having a heavy kick. This weapon is a workhorse for those who value precision but also demands mobility over the field alongside it.

[ M&A SAL 32-08 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE GT-S2 BATTLE RIFLE. ]

Man and Arms love their traditional rifles. The SAL 32-08 is no exception. Based off a legendary Old Earth design it is one that is highly respected even by todays standards and a favoured rifle for collectors across the world. Man and Arms paid extreme attention to detail to replicating the design for the more fitting current age, and fitted with a VEK design suppressor, it brings the right arm of the free world for the Modern era.

[ GT-SBK 'Pointman' ]

[ VARIANT OF THE GT-S2 BATTLE RIFLE ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

For some, magazines are perfectly usable and are a fine addition to a modern age firearm, for others, a more traditional on-the-go loading suits their fancy more. The SBK also known as the Simonov Bolt Kit is a conversion for the GT-52 Battle Rifle into a top loading open bolt design with a fixed integral magazines for easy top loading without the risk of getting your thumb bitten by the bolt with the old dosed bolt design. The setup requires lower powered cartridges indicated by the white tip and while this does reduce muzzle velocity, it helps recoil control considerably.

[ Ravenhawk B.305 ]

*Available in the Lobby.*

The Ravenhawk, a renown and popular rifle designed by ARK for use by both them and the military, firing the powerful .305 AAX Viper round. The Ravenhawk was designed with a dual stage trigger, designated as Type B - a light tap firing in three round burst while held would allow continuous automatic fire. The muzzle device often mistaken as a muzzle brake is used to dampen the recoil for the first three shots in combination with the bolt cycle, allowing the initial burst to both have an accelerated RPM and reduced recoil.

[ Enforcer M8A1 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE RAVENHAWK B.305. ]

The former service rifle for Enforcers before being surpassed by the Ravenhawk design in less than 1 year of service, a topic mostly joked about by many. At the time, its burst functionality was unmatched and with its familiar yet clean ergonomics, it felt like it was the pinnacle of burst rifles until the Ravenhawk came by with its unique muzzle device and bolt sync design. Despite this, many still hold a soft spot for the in-house design from the Enforcers and so sees a lot of use in the civilian and mercenary market.

[ GALAXY MCAR-16 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE RAVENHAWK B.305. ]

A rare design manufactured by GALAXY - an aftermarket parts provider - in their spare time. Not many were produced as it was a design made on a whim more than anything else, developed after watching a couple Old Earth films and seeing the popularity of this rifle as well as its platform. A lot of the internals were from the Ravenhawk series so it would chamber the .305 AAX Viper rounds in particular while also being lightweight.

[ Ravenhawk PCC-M2 ]

[ VARIANT OF THE RAVENHAWK B.305 ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

Pistol Caliber Carbines are a popular weapon choice for competition shooters and see limited use outside of such environments. However if the situation calls for it, Ravenhawk's custom Pistol Caliber Carbine modification kit for the B.305 variant is usually always the choice. Reduced stopping power, but vastly improved velocity leading to better short range accuracy and much more stable recoil make it a perfect platform to built onto for PCCs. Fitted with a lightweight Drum Magazine for additional Firepower.

[ Wraith-CRC ]

*Available in the Lobby.*

Silent, powerful and unforgiving, the perfect Combat Recon Carbine. The Wraith model line has been a popular series for VEK and even one time almost surplanted the TARX-100 in their active service. It chambers the powerful 7.62 x 42mm subsonic armour piercing bullet with a hardened steel core and two-layer semi-jacket. Despite not carrying as much effective range as the TARX-100 7.56 x 40mm, the round was easily able to hold its armour piercing capabilities for much longer range due to the more expensive bullets. The price was ultimately the winning factor for the TARX-100 in the end, from the round to the construction but many still swear by the Wraith line to this day.

[ Valkyria ASC ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE WRAITH-CRC. ]

Automatic Suppressed Carbine dubbed Valkyria by Verdant Sun is another highly detailed reproduction design of an Old Earth firearm, brought up to the Modern era with improved ergonomics, internals and caliber. Chambering the 7.62 x 42mm subsonic, even if its an unusual caliber for a weapon of this size - in fact - Verdant Sun had many complications in trying to obtain the rights to use this round from VEK, although in the end after a heated dispute, the company was given permission to use the caliber.

[ WRAITH-TSBK ]

[ VARIANT OF THE WRAITH-CRC ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

The Wraith-CRC was always a very well recieved design except it lacked the function of a burst fire, something some people considered a flaw, others a gimmick. Nonetheless despite limitations, the modification could swap out the fully automatic control for a two shot burst design with an accelerated bolt system. Equipped with a specially designed black tip heavy penetrator 7.62x42mm reduces overall muzzle velocity but carries the lethality much further out.

In response to the need for a cheap rifle that can still penetrate modern body armour, the TARX-100 was designed by the Mercenary group VEK and used by them initially until worldwide spread. The designation 100 was marked as their 100th manufactured firearm.

[ C-STR-34 Casuarius ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE TARX-100 ]

A joint effort collaboration between M.G.V and TacTech to develop a standard issue rifle for ARK use. While mostly successful and having a good run, it was ultimately surplanted by the in-house Ravenhawk; a decision that was controversial at the time by most soldiers. However the Ravenhawks superior modular design and ease of manufacture in-house became ultimately the deciding factor, however the consistency and ergonomics of the Casuarius are not forgotten.

[ Fennec 7.56mm ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE TARX-100 ]

The Fennec 7.56mm is a reproduction of an Old Earth rifle design that proved popular amongst some collectors. However due to the exorbitant price of owning one as well as its general impracticality, Verdant Sun - A popular firearms manufacturer for repro designs - developed the Fennec with the more standardised 7.56 x 40mm. Now, a favoured option for competition shooters due to its lightweight construction and mercenaries for how unique and stand out it looks.

[ Enforcer FNS2000 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE TARX-100 ]

An old design faithfully replicated to respect the days of I.R.I.S and the Source. While its original design is no longer suitable in the Modern era, this developed repro has brought it back, chambered in the TARX's 7.56 x 40mm. Now it is ready to serve once again.

Respect your Elders.

[ TARX-UCBR 12.8 ]

[ VARIANT OF THE TARX-100 ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

The 12.8x55mm round, a powerful cartridge with immense stopping power, armor piercing capabilities with great damage retention over range and a heavy kick to boot. The Urban Combat Battle Rifle designation is self explanatory, in Urban environments where the TARX-100's 7.56x40mm isn't enough, Enforcers bring out the UCBR to put a stop to any threats, and it sure as hell does the job. Full auto 'fun switch' as the Enforcers call it should only be used in extreme circumstances.

The VOLK-750 Light Infantry Support Weapon, a weapon known for its devastating reliability under full auto and large magazine capacity, if you need to spit out a lot of lead, this is the weapon you choose. The VOLK-7 LISW chambers the TARX-100 inspired 7.8 x 50mm cartridge with a large powder load, giving it enhanced stopping power. The slow fire rate is actually a boon for the weapon, making the large magazine last longer and tampering the recoil of the heavy round. Additional modifications has allowed the weapon to speed up its cycling process by using the pressure generated from the specially designed cartridge, which reiterates until a mechanical limit is reached.

Heavy Machine Gun in all sense of the word. Developed by VOLK primarily to feed the outstanding 12.9x95mm cartridge, it is primarily an emplacement weapon with a manned support crew to feed the belt. This is reflected in the 'CHAINSAW' styled stock with an integrated trigger unit which can double as a brace for your shoulder if the situation calls for it. A delayed trigger system had to be implemented to properly load the heavy accelerating cartridge which will cause significant fire delay but at least helping retain some accuracy as the rounds are perfectly seated.

Tactical Assault Shotgun 11. ga. If there was a weapon to strike fear into criminals, it would be this. Used mainly by Enforcers, this shotgun has gained a reputation for its reliability under pressure and surprising level of control supplemented by lower powered 11. ga shell. Semi automatic and gas powered, it can go through all terrain under all conditions - and it won't even hiccup once, contrary to most gas powered shotguns.

A modified version of the already pretty tactical TASG-11, fitted with a different more accurate outer barrel, and a specially tuned 11 ga Goliath suppressor. Sporting improved accuracy and much better ranged potential, this is favoured by those who prefer to inch out a little more distance out of their shotgun. Due to the heavy design of the Goliath suppressor though, stopping power is slightly hindered and the weapon is slightly more cumbersome to wield, although for others this is a fair trade off for extra tacti-cool points.

The Leone-Super used to be an under-performing repro by Franco, but due to a conflict between VEK and ARK, it has gained popularity ever since its depiction in movies. it was said that one night during an ARK raid on an illicit VEK warehouse operation, an ARK operator ran dry of all ammunition and quickly grabbed a Leone-Super from one of the caches and single-handedly dispatched all VEK operatives at the warehouse. This incident spawned many action movies with the titular shotgun and ever since, what used to be a unpopular repro by franco became one of their most renowned firearms.

The All Purpose Sporting Shotgun 10 ga. by Fabbrica d'Armi Franco. A recreation of an Old Earth shotgun design of which the internal components and schematics are now long lost to time. Franco has managed to replicate the external faithfully although the internal had to be developed from the ground up.

These firearms can occupy Large-Slots, though prefer to remain in the 3rd Slot, or the Pistol Slot.

Small Sidearms are highly invaluable pieces of equipment that you can always use to fall back on whenever your primary weapons are out of ammo in a critical situation. "Switching to your Sidearm is always faster than reloading" tends to hold true, even here. You will often find having an empty sidearm will result in possible demise. Remember that sidearm is lethal too.

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE PARAGON AEGIS-50. ]

The H-8 DIVIDER is the name given to a fictional blank-firing revolver design in the movie 'Milsim West', it was designed off a PARAGON base except with its own flair and styling. Nonetheless, the popularity of the movie and by extension the revolver itself lended itself to being recreated as a functional pistol spearheaded mainly by PARAGON, and thus chambering the .50P cartridge. A collectors item for those who enjoy it.

[ M&A Mark 629 ]

[ DERIVATIVE OF THE PARAGON AEGIS-50. ]

M&A are often known for their classics and this is no exception. While the Old Earth caliber used to be nicknamed one of the most powerful rounds in the world, this is often laughed at by during the Modern era because of how archaic the round is. Nowadays however, with the help of M&A and their excellent repro skills in classic firearms, brings back the old classic except with the new and improved .50P. While far from the largest caliber in the Modern era, it is certainly enough to drop whatever it needs to.

[ PARAGON Hellfall-42 ]

[ VARIANT OF THE PARAGON AEGIS-50 ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

A heavy modification of the already heavily modified 'Hammerfell' design, integrating into the revolver a blowback mechanism that allows a 'fanned' hammer to fire twice, letting off two incredibly fast burst of .42LPMR round forward at a considerably low recoil. The smaller rounds means they are able to fit one more round into the 'Hammerfell' design magazine. A powerful backup that won't let you down despite the rather impractical style.

[ Vytax 'Pepper-Shaker' ]

[ VARIANT OF THE VYTAX ACAP 9.7. ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

The 'Pepper-shaker' is an infamous modification of Vytax's new design which leverages the mechanisms by directly loading a modified magazine with all the components needed for an improvised 10. ga shotgun shell. It gained its notoriety for being used in an assassination attempt against a high ranking member of the military police ARK and its name for the rattling of pellets in the magazine sounding like a pepper shaker.

## //ALTERNATE; MELEE.

That's right, not only do Mercs have the ability to wield firearms, they could always resort to just outright Melee!

Melee weapons lack any need of ammo and occupy the 4th slot, known as the Melee slot. Melees are optional pieces of equipment that can be built on, even if you just want to use fists. They do not need ammo, nor reloading; but you may risk receiving damage from close quarters combatants during an engagement.

[ M2 Stun Baton ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

A tried and tested non lethal stun baton, a cheap and reliable disabling tool for security members. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this, as it would work well enough as a bludgeon if needed.

Stunning properties allow it to stun most Anomalies on hit.

[ K2 Combat Blade ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

Standard issue combat knife issued to all Military Police personell developed by ARK internally. Clean edge and while primarily developed for combat purposes, it is an all round knife that can perform most tasks.

Its lightweight and comfortable design that fits onto any standard MERC battle-belt allows it to be drawn quickly.

[ Combat Bayonet ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

Security personell standard issue combat knife, clean, simple to use and surprisingly weighty, giving it some power behind each swings. Tough and durable construction means it sees frequent use in security roles rather than combat roles since its not as light as other options on the market.

[ Karambit Blade ]

[ KA-BAR D2 ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

A military fighting knife once belonged to the original invisible threat, Subject 617. Now while his time has long passed in the Source you get to keep this fancy relic of a knife.

Inheriting the Source, Animation Eliminations with the knife grants the use a short but considerable speed boost.

[ VT8 HF Blade ]

*Available in M.E.R.C. System Trader Unit*

An impractical sword developed by an ARK higher up who was far too inebriated. However despite the odd decision for wanting to make a sword for the military police, the weapon itself is not a pushover. The High-Frequency blade is extremely powerful as well as durable, able to cut through most things with breeze, be it human or not. Of course despite its strength it is still a sword.

Comes with a powerful adrenaline activator on [X] to enhance melee capabilities however at the cost of fine motor functions, rendering unable to use anything other than said blade for a while.
