The RG LAG or LAG (Leichtes Automatisches Gewehr) is an Erebonian Battle rifle produced by Rainford Group. It was design by James Gwyn Rainford.

Considered to be one of the most successful rifles ever made, it was used extensively by many Allied nations during the 20th century. It saw widespread use during the War of Lorican Aggression and had seen service in 16 countries. It was also the most serviced rifle that the Allies had over the AR-16 and the Richter & Manfred BR3, gaining its nickname as The Arm of the Free World and was the signature weapon of the Allied forces during the conflict. The LAG was largely phased out in the late 1990s as different countries adopted other rifles or created indigenous designs. The LAG still continues to be used by cadets throughout the Commonwealth where training required a lightweight battle rifle.

It was eventually replaced by the Steyrheim UAG in standard service for other nations. The LAG was later redesigned and turned into a carbine as the RG LAK as a weapon intended for issue to special forces.
