The LAG (Dutch: Licht Automatisch Geweer, English: Light Automatic Rifle) is a Lindian battle rifle designed and produced by the Lindian arms manufacturer Bouwer. Martin Ranervelt, an engineer at Bouwer, is often credited as its designer. The rifle saw service during the Cold War as the standard issue rifle for many militaries around Sunalaya. Production of the rifle started in 1953, and is ongoing to this day. Despite many of its users replacing the rifle with more modern variants, the LAG is still in service primarily fulfilling designated marksman roles.
