## Trivia

### General

* The MK36A7-K's versatility and modularity place it in a league of its own, making it a worthy counterpart to the standard CTH-5 modular rifle. It embodies Lockdown's adaptability and unwavering commitment to precision, providing him with a trusted companion in the world of covert operations. Whether in urban combat or long-range engagements, the MK36A7-K stands ready to meet the demands of Lockdown's missions with unmatched versatility and firepower.
* While the MK36A7-K is manufactured in the standard CTH blue color in factories and brought to armories, Lockdown's version stands out with its striking red finish. It is a testament to Lockdown's individuality and his penchant for customization. Additionally, Lockdown's MK36A7-K is always equipped with an optical sight, emphasizing his commitment to precision and accuracy.
* Much like Lockdown himself, a neutral mercenary who only aligns with the highest bidder and remains barricaded from allegiances, the MK36A7-K finds its way into the arsenals of both OCTO and NONA. In OCTO, this versatile rifle is utilized by their contractors as well as some of their most renowned mercenaries. In NONA, while it is not the primary weapon of choice, limited numbers of MK36A7-K rifles are issued to their soldiers for specific missions, underscoring its adaptability and reputation on the battlefield.
* Despite its ergonomic and innovative diagonal magazine design, the MK36A7-K possesses a quirk that Lockdown has come to recognize. After emptying a total of 60 rounds, the diagonal magazine may become prone to jamming. Recognizing this limitation, Lockdown opts for curved 30-round magazines, particularly during real-world operations where reliability is paramount. This adaptation showcases Lockdown's pragmatism and his ability to adapt to unpredictable situations, ensuring that he remains a formidable force regardless of the firearm's quirks.
* The MK36A7-K's presence in the arsenals of OCTO and NONA, along with its unique quirks and Lockdown's personalized touches, contribute to its mystique and reputation as a versatile and adaptable firearm. Whether used by elite mercenaries or soldiers in specialized missions, this rifle continues to make its mark on the landscape of mercenaries.
