Any man or woman eligible to be president of Crogach has taken part in compulsory military service, and therefore keeps his service rifle (a Beretta ARX160) for the rest of his life. The president also receives a Glock 18 pistol for use as a self-defense weapon should the need arise.

He has access to all weapons he wants, if he pays for them. He can also drive, fly, or pilot whatever he wants as well.

President Pierce owns quite a few firearms, including two rifles.

Prime Minister Buchanan, however, owns nothing of the sort. The closest thing he has to any kind of weapon, is the bread knife in the Pink House kitchen.

Commander n Chief Vicktren Feroce owns many rifles with military history
within both The Federation and enemy nations. However, his most personal
Rifle without a doubt is his humble SKS, which he inherited from someone near
and dear to him when she died. He shoots it when he feels depressed

- Its nothing fancy, especially compared to my DMR back in the 'core , but this rifle
belonged to someone special.

Our current reigning president, Joe Yossarian, is the least bit paranoid about others trying to kill him, but, assassinations while in office have been recorded, so if he wants to, he is allowed to carry a sidearm in a concealed holster.

Joe Yossarian carries a Colt 1911, that is carried by preference. while his personal body guard carries the Bushmaster ACR Compact.

The President does have his own personal rifle. It is a heavily modified and rebuilt M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle redesigned to fire the .50 Cal BMG round from either a 30 round box magazine or 50/100/200 round twin drum magazines depending on how mobile he needs to be, also features a fully adjustable stock, extra large pistol grip and modified trigger guard, and a quick change barrel.

While the president prefers the original iron sights his rifle does feature a top Picatinny rail for mounting various optics and between the fore grip and bi-pod is another set of Picantinny rails (both sides and bottom) for attaching vertical grips, breaching shotguns or grenade launchers among other common attachments, however due to the sheer weight of the gun he usually runs without any extras.

The last unique feature of the rifle is the 4 group trigger group (Safe-Semi-Slow Auto-Fast Auto) the Slow Auto rate of fire is the original 650 rounds a minute with Fast auto being a massive 1750 rounds a minute for use in anti-air or emplacement defense.

The rifle which is unofficially known as "The Gun of God" has been with the president since his start as a mercenary after leaving the US Navy SEALS and is the only known single firearm to have a confirmed kill count of over 1,000,000 most of those kills being made fighting back against the MEC Jihad (2055-2080).

The Chancellor has a selection of firearms that he regularly practices with, including several rifles. Though he doesn't personally own them, he also has access to any state-owned firearms in Novariea, so there's nothing stopping him from marching onto a military base and firing off a few rounds with anything that takes his fancy.

He does carry a gun with him most of the time, though it is not a rifle, but a modified Colt Single Action Army.

No, Comrade Antoi Bexhi, General Secretary of the Kargraz Labour Alliance and Chairman of the Guiding Committee of the Kargraz People's Army does not -to the best of anyone's knowledge- possess a personal rifle, but he has been observed in possession of a CZ 52 pistol. Whether he always carries this is unclear, but, given that he himself came to power in a violent coup and has since survived numerous assassination attempts, it would come as no surprise to find him armed for self defence.
