Ares HVARThis high-velocity assault rifle earns a "super machine gun" label for its high rate of fire. Specifically designed to incorporate an internal Smartlink-2 system, the engineering also provides 3 points of recoil compensation. This weapon cannot accept barrel-mounted accessories.
In burst-fire mode, the HVAR fires 6 round bursts that inflict 12D damage. These bursts suffer recoil for each bullet in the same way as standard bursts: a single burst incurs a recoil of +6 (+3 with compensation), and a second burst in the same Combat Phase would suffer +12 (+9)
In full-auto mode, the HVAR fires at at maximum rate of 18 rounds per phase. This autofire can be directed in bursts at more than one target, but at least 6 rounds must be fired in each autofire burst.

Cavalier Sabre (Custom)Cavalier Arms arrived at the 2067 Guns and Ammo show with this little baby in tow: the Sabre. Designed for covert ops work, the Sabre is designed to have a smaller profile than the standard assault rifle, using the venerable bullpup configuration. Space-age polymers and durable ceramics give the Sabre a lighter weight than most rifles with the added advantage of partial invisibility to the ubiquitous MAD scanners and internal compensators in case you need to fire more than one round. The small barrel, while reducing the range of the weapon, gives it a smaller profile perfect for room-to-room combat, and the built-in suppressor keeps the noise down when your team needs to be quiet. Add into that the Mark II Smartlink system and you have a small, compact firing system for the covert ops team on the move.
Game Notes: Bullpup, Integral Smartlink-2, Ceramic Components Level 1, Integral Recoil Compensation, Integral Sound Suppressor, Reduced Barrel

HK G38New on the market, the G38 is a redesign of a popular modular rifle system. Similar to the Steyr AUG-CSL, the G38 an be easily and quickly reconfigured as either an assault rifle, carbine rifle, or light machine gun. Breaking down the weapon, assembling it, or converting it from one configuration to the next takes an Assault Rifle B/R (4) Test and a base time of 12 Combat Turns. All the parts can fit into a large briefcase.
Each configuration of the G38 features an integral top-mounted laser sight and a low-light optical magnification 2 scope. A barrel-mounted gas vent 2 system also provides 2 points of recoil reduction.
Each configuration uses different stats and requires a different skill: Rifles skill (carbine), Assault Rifles skill (assault rifle), or Heavy Weapons skill (LMG). Use the range and firearm rules appropriate to the configuration. All configurations use assault rifle ammunition.

IWS SA75A1 (Custom)The SA70, designed by Integrated Weapons Systems for the British Army 2065 next generation service rifle trials, and then improved upon once selected over the course of the next three years, is known more commonly by its proper designation: SA75A1. Adopted and put into widespread service by the British Army in 2068, the rifle has proven itself worthy of winning the trials after certain problems were eliminated in the design by advanced machine tooling. It is a compact, versatile small arm laid out in bullpup to ensure short overall length while maintaining a full length barrel. One of the major requirements of the 2065 trials was a reliable selectable clip mechanism, thus the SA75A1 sacrifices some individual magazine capacity by using single stacked magazines, but improves versatility in ammunition choice. Allowing a single infantryman to have both lethal and non-lethal response at his very fingertips, something of utmost importance in conflicts such as the Lambeth area. Still only in production in the United Kingdom, this rifle is rarely seen outside of the hands of a British Army infantryman.
