The Principality Arms G66 (Ruvelkan: Gépkarabély 66; “Assault Rifle 66”) is a Ruvelkan assault rifle that serves as the standard issue infantry weapon of the Imperial Armed Forces. Designed in 1963, the G66 utilizes the 7.62×39mm PARR–the Ruvelkan derivative of the Syaran standard rifle cartridge at the time. Although the G88 was officially adopted in 1988 as a replacement to the G66, the G66 continues to serve as the main armament of the army, air force, and units of the navy.
