===Ranged Weapons===
The Astartes of the XX Legion have a varied selection of preferred ranged weapons. Insofar as Bolt weapons are concerned, they have a preference for the Phobos pattern for Bolt Pistols, and Phobos, Tigrus, and Perinetus pattern for Boltguns. These models are preferred for their accuracy, reliability, and extended barrels. Many have been seen to be modified with the bayonet lugs removed, extended barrels for increased accuracy, and threaded barrels to accept a suppressor.

Insofar as squad and team weapons are concerned, the marines prefer assault weapons over heavy, as they better fit the high-mobility nature of the Rangers. Meltaguns and shotguns are the most prolific amongst the marines. Though their preference for close combat would make most assume a high use of Flamers, the XX dislike using them. They have been noted to be used, but almost exclusively in locations such as caverns, mountains, and cities built out of mostly non-flammable materials. Many attribute this to the Rangers' preference of fighting in the forest, where firing such weapons welcomes the possibility of igniting their surroundings. Plasma weaponry is almost never seen, as the Legion distrusts their tendency to overheat.

Although less often used, heavy weapons do see use amongst the Iron Rangers. By far the most common, the Tigrus-Exitus pattern Boltgun/sniper rifle is often utilized for it's increased range and ability to eliminate single targets. Following that, missile launchers and Autoguns are often deployed for their versatile nature. Heavy Bolters are common where the Legion expects to encounter large formations of less-armored troops.

The Iron Rangers also see some of the most use of Combi-weapons for their number amongst the Legions. Greatly preferred by the Milwyr Cwyn for their adaptability in changing environments and allowing individual members to have more versatility, almost all official reports of the Iron Rangers fighting mentions their use. The vast majority seen are Combi-meltas and -grenade launchers, however Combi-flamers and -plasma guns are not unheard of. When asked about their use of normally unseen weapons on Combi platforms, the common answer is that reduced charges and fuel makes the user less susceptible to the dangers of the weapons.
