A selection of some of the weapons one might find while wandering the wastes. These are simply some of the most common or notable; feel free to fill in a weapon that more befits your tastes.

'''AR2 Modular Assault Rifle''' 
Armacor's update to the venerable AR platform, this design incorporates many of the cutting edge advancements in firearms technology that were pioneered in the years leading to the Fall. Common the world over, the rifle benefits from its modular nature and the plethora of after-market modifications available to tweak it further; a cornucopia of scopes, suppressors, underbarrel attachments and various methods of personalization exist. As such, the rifle can be configured to fit almost any mission profile given the proper parts, ranging from submachine guns and assault rifles to carbines and battle rifles. In its most basic configuration (AR2-A) the rifle is a bullpup pattern weapon, feeding from a magazine of forty intermediate calibre caseless rounds. This great versatility has its drawbacks however; the rifle performs admirably within a close range of its intended purpose, making an excellent carbine or assault rifle - but the further the platform is pushed, the greater the gap in capability compared to dedicated systems. While strictly speaking an AR2 might become a Designated Marksman Rifle or even a Light Machine Gun in a pinch given time and a conversion kit, savvy operators are advised to look elsewhere if alternatives are available. 
''Variants include: AR2-A Assault Rifle, AR2-B Battle Rifle, AR2-C Carbine, AR2-CS Carbine with Integral Suppressor, AR2-D Designated Marksman Rifle, AR2-L Light Machine Gun, AR2-S Submachine Gun''

40 rounds. 6.8mm Caseless. The futuristic version of a M16.

'''PAAW General Purpose Machine Gun'''
The PAAW, standing for Power Armor Automatic Weapon, was an early collaboration in design between Weimuller and Armacor that produced one of those weapons that simply "got it right". This hugely dependable system is at its core a belt fed, closed bolt, short recoil operated air cooled machine gun in the style of the legendary Browning M2. While the weapon can be found on tripods or pintle mounts, its true home and intended purpose is in the hands of a power armored soldier. The advent of weight distributing stability rigs and the sheer carrying capacity afforded by combat power armor made arming such troops with standard assault rifles seem like a waste to commanders. A new weapon was needed, and the PAAW was tailored to fit this exact niche. It fires high powered telescoping cased rounds from either left or right feed cans. Unlike many weapons of its class it fires not only in automatic, but in single and three round burst as well, owing to its intended use as a primary weapon for PA troops. It is commonly fitted with a stacked munition under barrel grenade launcher when used in this role, further multiplying the truly epic amount of fire a PA squad can produce. Dependable, relatively common and hitting like an angry bull, the PAAW is a favorite of Delver crews able to keep it fed and happy. 
''Variants Include: PAAW M1 GPMG, PAAW M1 DMV Accurized Marksman Variant, PAAW M1A2 Shortened Paratrooper Variant''

24 rounds. 10 gauge Shotshell. A Kel-Tec KSG with more ammunition.

'''Sturmbock Breaching Pistol'''
Large frame caseless submachine gun with an under barrel magazine fed shotgun, meant as a specialist weapon combining a primary firearm and an entry device. Typically used with a shoulder stock and vertical foregrip, but can actually be used as the name implies, although at penalties if the user is not of sufficient strength.
''Variants include: SBPk Carbine Variant, SBPs Suppressed Variant''

30 rounds. 10mm Caseless.
3 rounds. 10 gauge Shotshell.

'''LSG-9 "Nadel-Gewehr" Long Gun'''

Free floating precision forged barrel, drop in bolt assemblies in a modular receiver, fully adjustable stock and bipod/monopod and a locking optic rail. Entire weapon can be broken down and stored in a large briefcase. Can be configured for anti-personnel or anti-materiel roles. Anti-personnel variant uses an integral suppressor and fires miniaturized SLAM darts from a detachable box. Anti-materiel version fires hypersonic saboted flechettes that create a distinctive “ripple-bang” as they pass, uses a muzzle brake and a hydraulic recoil dampener.

APvar: 10 rounds. 6mm SLAM darts.
AMvar: 3 rounds. 12.5mm saboted flechettes (13mm bore diameter).

'''Arm50 Machine Pistol'''
Extremely compact machine pistol intended as a vehicle crewman’s weapon or for discrete deployment amongst personal security details or plainclothes operations. Primarily polymer construction, telescoping bolt design that feeds from a top mounted magazine. Substitutes accuracy and stopping power for immediate high volume of fire and compact size. Uses compensator and delayed recoil impulse for manageable recoil impulse during burst fire even with such a short overall length. Silencers can be fitted over compensation vents if sound and flash are a concern.

50 rounds. 5.6mm Caseless.
