| | |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. | ||

Assault Rifles | |||||||
R89 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Assault rifle | 5.56x45mm | R89A R89B R89C |
Beaconsfield Federal Armory Falstaff Arms Company |
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. | |
R66 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Assault rifle | 5.56x45mm | R66A R66B R66B-XC R66C R66D R66E |
Beaconsfield Federal Armory Homme Manufacturing Falstaff Arms Company |
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 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Assault rifle | 5.56x45mm | SPR2015A SPR2015B |
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. | |
Machine Guns | |||||||
MG75 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Light machine gun | 5.56x45mm | MG75A MG75B MG75C |
Claypool Armaments | 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. | |
MG88 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Medium machine gun | 7.62x51mm | MG88A MG88A/CMG MG88B MG8C |
Beaconsfield Federal Armory Claypool Armaments |
Since 1988, the MG88 has established a reputation as the most robust, durable machine gun in Arcadian service. While carried primarily by infantry and scout units in its 88B and 88C variants, the 88A/CMG is used as a coax by virtually all armored vehicles in the inventory, as well as on helicopters and trucks as a mounted machine gun. The 88C is notable for its titanium receiver and parts, making it more expensive, but also much lighter than the 88B. | |
GMG23 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Medium/light machine gun | 6.8×51mm | GMG23A | Darkstar Technologies | A companion program to the EIRP that produced the R22, the Objective Machine Gun Program produced the GMG23A as a new standardize general-purpose machine gun for the Army. Slated to slowly replace the MG88 and MG75, the GMG23 comes in a variety of configurations including a coaxial gun, helicopter mounted gun, infantry weapons squad gun, and as a short and light dismount gun. As a bonus, the weapon system uses the same 6.8mm armor-piercing cartridge as the R22. | |
Marksman Rifles | |||||||
MR2016 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Marksman rifle | 7.62x51mm/6.8x51mm | MR2016A | Carrington Armament | Selected in 2015 as a spotter's rifle for sniper teams, the MR2016 was a companion project to the SR77-16, another rifle developed and adopted from a Carrington Armament submission to the Army. 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. | |
SR77-16 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Marksman rifle | 7.62×72mm Carrington Magnum | SR77-16A | Carrington Armament | The SR77-16 is a total redesign of the venerable SR77 rifle selected alongside the MR2016 as the pair of rifles to equip all Army sniper teams. Chambered in the powerful 7.62x72 Carrington Magnum cartridge, the 77-16 is widely loved as an accurate, dependable, and highly customizable sniper rifle. | |
SR77 | Federal Union of Arcadia | Marksman rifle | 7.62x51mm/7.62×67mm | SR77A SR77B SR77C SR77D SR77D |
Beaconsfield Federal Armory Homme Manufacturing Falstaff Arms Company |
Adopted in the 70s, the SR77 quickly replaced the large variety of rifles previously employed by the Army as interim sniper and marksman rifles. While initially chambered in match-grade 7.62x51, Homme Manufacturing eventually rechambered it to 7.62x67 at Army request, improving its range and ballistic trajectory. While no longer in frontline service, stocks are maintained in Army possession, and a large number of earlier models were sold to the public as surplus. | |
