|The MG75 light machine gun has served as the Army's standard squad automatic weapon since the 1980s. While now praised for lightweight and simple mechanics, the early examples of the MG75A suffered from reliability issues in harsh environments due to manufacturing defects. Few differences, aside from furniture and reliability changes, exist between early and late model MG75s.

The 88C is notable for its titanium receiver and parts, making it more expensive, but also much lighter than the 88B.

The rifle is built off of a similar short-stroke piston design as the SPR2015, though the MR2016 shares next to no parts in common with it. While originally chambered in 7.62x51, the Army has contracted Carrington to build conversion kits to the new standard 6.8x51mm and magazine of the R22.

Originating as an updated version of the carbine-length R66B-XC, the R89 was formally adopted as the standard rifle of Arcadian forces starting in the 90s. The R66's 508mm barrel was traded for a 368mm barrel and the weight was decreased from 3.4kg to 2.92. A rail system and flat-top receiver allowing easier optics/laser mounting came with the R89B, followed by manufacturing, ergonomic, and material enhancements with the R89C.

The R66 is direct-impingement rifle that's served in the Arcadian military since 1967 after replacing its earlier cousin, the R54. Forming the basis of a wife variety of civilian and military firearms, the R66 is considered a venerable, robust, and accurate platform. No longer in active service, but large stores of the rifle are kept.
SPR2015

Darkstar Technologies Darkstar provided several thousand SPR2015s to the Arcadian Army starting in 2015 as part of a program to equip SOF units with top-tier aftermarket equipment not normally available to Army units. The rifle, a short-stroke piston driven variant of the R66/R89 platform, features a folding stock, easily changeable barrels and gas systems, and an M-LOK handguard for reduced weight from traditional rail systems.
R22

 Federal Union of Arcadia Assault rifle 6.8×51mm R22A Darkstar Technologies XR22 (now R22) was declared the winner of the Enhanced Infantry Rifle Program following rigorous testing through 2020 and 2021. Featuring a new, extremely high-velocity cartridge and bullet capable of penetrating contemporary Level IV body armor, as well as a suite of new optic and laser/light options(among many other features), the rifle will start replacing front line R89s in 2022.

Since 1988, the MG88 has established a reputation as the most robust, durable machine gun in Arcadian service.

The 88C is notable for its titanium receiver and parts, making it more expensive, but also much lighter than the 88B.
