Armat U1 Grenade Launcher - This 30mm pump-action is typically found as part of the M41A Pulse Rifle, but individual units do exist. Standard payload for the U1 is M40 High Explosive fragmentation grenades, but the launcher accommodates a variety of other grenade types from smoke and flash grenades to electronic G2 Electroshock Grenades (below).

Armat M41AE2 Heavy Pulse Rifle - A USCMC Squad Automatic Weapon modification of the M41A, this electric pulse support rifle has a longer barrel in place of the U1 grenade launcher. This is the machinegun you want laying down suppressing fire to cover your ass during an evac.

M56A2 Smart Gun - The heavy firepower of every USCMC squad, the M56 Smartgun is mounted on an articulating arm and gimbal attached to an armored harness worn by the weapon’s operator. What makes the M56A2 a smart gun is its ability to choose targets for you. It is equipped with an infrared tracking system and data transmitter/receiver that homes in on potential threats and sends that information to a Head Mounted Sight.

M240 Incinerator Unit - This carbine-style flamethrower uses naphtha fuel canisters to fire a thick, steady stream of flame at a target. It is in common use by the USCMC, who deploy the weapon at the squad and fireteam level. Civilian models exist too. The troops in the field have given the M240 the unceremonious nickname of “Bake-a-Flake.”

UA 571-C Automated Sentry Gun - These tripod-mounted robot sentries form an automated perimeter defense system that tracks and automatically fires upon any target that moves within range. The UA 571 series is equipped with automatic thermal and movement actuated AI targeting capabilities. The UA 571-C utilizes an M30 Autocannon. Just be mindful of your friend or foe settings before walking in front of one.

G2 Electroshock Grenade - These grenades are called “electronic ballbreakers” with good reason. When deployed, they propel themselves about 3 feet off the ground before releasing a mega- voltage electric pulse. The usually non-lethal shock is still strong enough to freeze a person’s central nervous system. These weapons are good for crowd control.

Armat U4A2 Repeating Grenade Launcher - Designed for CBRN sterilization teams, this rapid-fire dedicated grenade launcher is most often equipped with the U4 QTC Firebomb ammunition but it can also fire other varieties.

M5A3 RPG Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher - This shoulder-fired rocket launcher is equipped with a telescopic targeting sight.

Norcomm RPG122 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher- The 122 is a bare-bones rocket launcher without a sophisticated sight, that requires a reload after each shot. Armor piercing.

Weyland 72A LEW Light Energy Weapon - This portable directed energy cannon consists of a sighted shoulder-mounted weapon and a 15mW power pack. The LEW fires vaporized pellets of cadmium telluride.

M78 PIG Phased-Plasma Infantry Gun - The USCMC favors rocket launchers over light energy weapons, but do have their own model, the M78 PIG Phased-Plasma Infantry Gun.

UA-102-20 Independently Targeting Particle Beam Phalanx - The UA-102-20 is a close-in weapon system (CIWS) composed of twenty independently targeting particle beams working in close formation. Similar to starship-to starship combat laser arrays, the particle beam phalanx is a vehicle combat scale offensive/defensive solution to multiple incoming aggressors. The UA102-20’s computer module can instantly calculate the probability of the phalanx taking a target out, as well as what fire rate and pattern is needed.
