The Colt AR-10 is essentially
the M16 mechanism upgraded to fire the
substantially more powerful 7.62x51mm caliber.
The mechanical similarity between the AR-10 and
the familiar M16 make the AR-10 popular with many
paramilitary organizations and other independents
around the world. As with all battle rifles, the
AR-10s large bulk and mass are its largest
hindrance. |

A massive and reliable battle
rifle, the FN-FAL 00 is used in nearly 40
countries in various configurations. Made in both
semi-automatic ($500, Avail 2) and selective fire
models, the FAL is very robust and will continue
to operate for extended periods under hostile
conditions. |

This is one of the final
variants of the G3 battle rifle to reach
production. The barrel and forearm have been
shortened with the front sight moved back and the
flash suppressor mounted just in front of the
sight. The shortness of the exposed barrel
prevents the use of rifle grenades. The G3K is a
compact carbine version of the G3 series with a
barrel as short as is practical while still
keeping muzzle flash and report at a reasonable
level. |

The Morita H29 is an immense
(nearly 2m long!) heavy battle rifle, chambered
in the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Practically a support
weapon, the H29 also mounts an integral
underbarrel 12ga shotgun for close-quarters
combat. The H29 benefits from its extremely long
barrel (just under 100cm!), giving it an
exceptional range for its class. The H29 has yet
to see any major deployments or sales, but is
expected to be popular with expeditionary or
other reconnaisance forces. The H29 may be fitted
with any STANAG2-compatible accessory.
Underbarrel shotgun stats are for buckshot. See Shotguns section for
further details. |

The Morita H31 is nominally the
"officer's model" of the H29. The H31
halves the mass of the parent weapon, in exchange
for a much shorter barrel and the loss of the
underbarrel shotgun. The lighter weight and
substantially shorter length make this weapon
much more viable for sales as a standard battle
rifle. As with the H29, the H31 may be fitted
with any of a number of sighting systems
compatible with STANAG2 compliance. |
