The Etoile Arcture Territorial Forces are issued the G500 Modular Weapon System, which was adopted as a standard service weapon in 2007 originally by the Ground Forces and inherited by the Territorial Forces when it was split off from the Ground Forces in 2020. It is a multi-calibre weapon as described here that is easily swapped between the 6.5 mm Grendel or 6.8 mm Remington SPC intermediate combat cartridges and has been adapted for other chamberings. Some examples of the G500 MWS are included below:

Image
G500A3 Assault/Battle Rifle with 18½ inch barrel

Image
G501KA3 Assault/Battle Carbine with 16½ inch barrel and equipped with a SWORD T&D (Thermal and Day) weapon sight

Image
G502KA3 Close Quarters Battle Rifle with 10½ inch barrel chambered in .300 AAC Blackout

Image
G550A3 Designated Marksman Rifle with 20 inch barrel

Image
SG555A3 Sniper Rifle with 20 inch barrel chambered in 6.5×48 mm Creedmoor and equipped with a Barrett Optical Ranging System

The Etoile Arcture Expeditionary Forces are issued the G10A3 Demon Individual Automatic Weapon chambered in 6.3×43mm PCTA that was originally adopted into service in 2010 by the Special Forces as described here and by the Expeditionary Forces when it was split off from the Ground Forces in 2020. It is often paired with a SCRD-06 Sable red dot optic, or configured as below:

Since 2000, Azania's standard-issue service rifle has been this:

Image

The Vektor CR-21

The Vektor CR-21 is an Azanian assault rifle chambered for 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. It was designed by Denel Land Systems as a replacement for the Azanian Defence Force's R4 assault rifle.

Internally, the CR-21 uses a modified version of the action found in the R4 assault rifle, which is known for its reliability and relatively low weight. The rifle also makes significant use of high-impact polymer, with the only exposed metal part on the rifle being the front of the barrel with its integral flash suppressor. Both of these result in the rifle having a low loaded weight, of 3.72 kg (8.2 lbs). The CR-21 comes standard with a 1X magnification optical sight with an illuminated reticle that does not require batteries. This sight is mounted on a sight rail, allowing easy removal and attachment, as well as the use of a range of different sight options. The forward handgrip has been specially designed to be easily removed and replaced with a grenade launcher similar to the M203 grenade launcher. Finally, the stock has a built-in compartment which stores a cleaning kit for the rifle, removing the usual need for the soldier to carry this separately.

PK24/25 Air Rifle
Image


The Main Service Rifle of the Kalloshcho Armed Forces is a native designed weapon called the PK24/25. The PK24/25 ("Pokishilak-Kvar (24/25)") is a Kalloshchan selective-fire rifle developed by the Kalloshchan Ministry of Military Micro Arms and manufactured by S4 Industrial Yards. It is currently the standard service rifle of the Kingdom of Kalloshcho, and is perhaps one of the most famous firearms produced by Kalloshcho.

A distinctive feature of the PK24/25's action is its short-recoil operated system. Designed with reliability and simplicity in mind, the PK24/25 was built with large and heavy parts, along with no openings for foreign contaminants, especially mud. Made from stamped parts, the PK24/25's design was a mechanically and technically simple machine, but its performance was a different story.

Fielded en masses, the PK24/25 gained a very positive reputation for its ruggedness in any biome, whether it be the mud and rain of jungles, the snowy and frigid tundra and taiga, or the sand and dust of deserts. But since it was recoil-operated, recoil was more pronounced than its gas-operated counterparts, hence the nickname, "Black Donkey". Such recoil was partially negated, however, by the gun's heavy parts (especially its heavy bolt and overall weight), along with its users trained to fire in bursts (shoulder-fired) or hipfire on full automatic.

Haleckian Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, National Police, National Gendarmerie, and Bureau of Criminal Investigations all utilize the M13 Service Rifle.

The Saunders M13 was developed in 1962 as a replacement to the stripper clip using Leigh Arms M8 Service Rifle. The rifle was designed to be select fire, and was chambered in 5.56. It was adopted in 1963 by the Army and Air Force, and later the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as the National Police, Gendarmerie, and BCI.

The army and military police use the M1 Garand as their main service weapon, although the AK-47 has been replacing the M1 Garand since 1957. It is estimated that by 1962 the AK-47 would have completely replaced the American rifle.

Since 2004, the Surya Systems SS-2 assault rifle has been the main service weapon of the Imperial Military. It's known to be a reliable and durable rifle for infantrymen. The weapon uses 5.56x45mm ammunition, fed from a typical 30-round box magazine or 60-round drum magazine. Its average fire rate is 750rpm and can be set to fire single-shots, 3-round bursts, or full-automatic, effective up to a range of 400m. The SS-2's carrying handle can be removed and replaced with an assortment of optical sights and additional picatinny rails on the handguard enable the use of attachments such as a vertical grip or a 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher.
