Small Arms

MA-50 Assault Rifle

Caliber: 7.62x51mm

Introduced: 2562

The MA-50 is a fully automatic assault rifle deriving from the MA-5 series. The MA-50 builds upon the frame of the MA-5B but adds a coil-lined barrel and a battery pack in place of the usual flashlight handguard. The MA-50 is ambidextrous and also lacks an ejection port as the rifle uses caseless 7.62 NATO ammunition recycled from the massive stockpiles accumulated in UTSC Ammo Dumps. The rifle is commonly used in Army and Marine units and has become the standard backbone of UTSC small arms since its introduction.

BR-75C Battle Rifle

Caliber: 9.5x40mm, 10x51mm

Introduced: 2530

The BR-75 is a battle rifle that improves upon the design of the BR-55 and was simplified for the Human-Covenant War. The BR-75C is the modernized version of the BR-75, introducing a coil barrel and a caseless cartridge coupled with a standard 32-round box magazine. The BR-75C is commonly used in the Marines and the Colonial Defense Forces, with the former replacing the M-932 DMR with the BR-75C.

M-250 General Purpose Machine Gun

Caliber: 7.62x51mm, 9.5x40mm, 5.56x45mm

Introduced: 2559

The M-250 GPMG is a belt-fed machine gun which is the standard UTSC Squad Automatic Weapon and is used in heavy-fire support roles. The M-250 replaced the M-247 GPMG, M-739 SAW, and M-73 LMG since its introduction, taking up the role of all 3 of them in 1 standardized package. The M-250 uses the same coil-lined barrel as the MA-50 and can sustain a rapid rate of 900 rounds a minute. The M-250 can also be assembled with spade grips and be hefted around with a Smart Harness.

M-100A Close Quarters Semi-Automatic Weapon System

Caliber: 8 Gauge Magnum

Introduced: 2560

The M-100 CQSAWS is a build-on of the M-90 and M-45 series of shotguns. The main difference is the dual Kel-Tec type tubes on the top of the gun and the fact that the M-100 can switch from Semi-Auto to Pump Action. The M-100A is the Marine variant of the M-100 series.

M-7 Magnum Personal Defense Weapon

Caliber: 12.7x40mm, 12.7x30mm, 10.9x33mmR, 9x33mmR

Introduced: 2565

The M-7 Magnum is a continuation of the popular M-6 Magnum series by Misriah. The M-7 uses new polymers to make it lightweight as well as upgraded electronics for QoL upgrades. The M7 also features the same coil-lined barrel designs as the newest generation of UTSC small arms. The M-7 comes in 3 variants, A, B, and S, with A being used by the Air Force, B being used by the Marines, and S being used by Special Operations units such as NAVSPECWAR and Marine Raiders.

MK.60 Entente Modular Handgun System

Caliber: 10x31mm, 9x19mm, 11.43x23mm, 9x22mm SIG, 5x23mm

Introduced: 2560

The commercial failure of the MK.50 had many at Emerson Tactical Systems slap their heads. They made a pistol the size of a Magnum and had it shoot peas. So with redesigned sizes in mind and to move away from the public hounding the name had received, ETS marketed the new variant as the MK.60 Entente. The MK.60 Entente is your average handgun system, taking 15-round box magazines and this time, the right size for the human hand. The MK.60 was adopted into service with the UTSC Army and Navy as the M-11 Entente which features a smart linked scope and a lighter trigger. ONI also adopted the MK.60 as is soon after its debut.

M-99A5 Special Application Scoped Rifle

Caliber: 5.4mm/.21

Introduced: 2580

The newest variant of the Stanchion series of Gauss Rifles, the M-99A5 is the standard Anti-Material Rifle for the UTSC. The M-99A5 features a barrel shroud and an upgraded EFAL-40 Smart Scope. The rifle can also double as a target designator.

Explosives

M-50 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Heavy Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon

Caliber: 150mm

Introduced: 2545

Introduced to help stem the tide against the Covenant War machine (quite literally). The M-50 is the heavier cousin of the M-41. Unlike the M-41, the M-50 can guide its missile through a pre-programmed flight path and can take advantage of the BATTLENET used by UTSC forces to designate and intercept enemy vehicles. The M-50 also takes its older brother's nickname of 'Spanker'.

M-202 Anti-Vehicle Single-Use Launcher

Caliber: 50mm

Introduced: 2550

The M-202 AVSUL is a single-use, disposable, anti-material, and anti-personnel weapon in service with the UTSC Marine Corps and a multitude of Planetary Defense Forces. The M-202 is easily deployable and can designate its munition to engage with Top Attack.
