Now we have our Milo and Akouo, which are wielded by none other by the Marshmellow Ceral Mascot, winner of 4 Mistral tournments, and general badass, Pyrrha Nikos!

Milo, in her hunting rifle form seems to be like the M1 Garand as said by some, but I think it looks more like the old Springfields from WWII. It fires what I would assume to be either .308, 5.56, .22 rounds, etc in red bursts. It doesn't seem to work against armored targets obviously, like the Deathstalker, but it is unknown as to how effective it is against other targets, such as Beowolves and such. Since her bullets never even made a dent, I would go under the assumption that it uses 5.56, which would also explain her lack of recoil, as 5.56 in semi auto is easy to control. Those red bursts could possibly be an indication of her aura being channeled into the gun as ammunition, but I don't know whether Aura can be morphed into the shape of for example, a bullet. Or if it could be none lethal, like have the same effect as rubber bullets, which also work well for civilian crowd control. It would seem that it acts similar to the M1 Garand, but does not use its reloading mechanism, as it has no part on the upper barrel which would indicate the magazine to be inserted into. Of course, it could be that it's similar to some models of sniper rifles in which the magazine goes entirely into the gun. Another thing is that if Aura can be used as ammunition, that could explain the seemingly unlimited amount of ammuntion. It seems as if above the trigger, there is something like a button on both sides; This could be how Pyrrha lets Milo switch into her Javelin and Xiphos forms. She does have her recoil aided attack, but it isn't used very often, only seeing action once fo far. Well, she may have used it when she pierced the Deathstalker's eye, but there was no shot heard being fired, so I assume she just threw it. If Aura can be materialized into solid forms like bullets, then you would want to launch the entire bullet at the enemy, since it's all lethal. Unless the Aura only materalized inside the casing, leaving the Shell casing as brass for example. Seems as if she'd do better at singular Grimm than crowd control, unless the Grimm were small. Also seems most adapted to combating Human targets, having weapons tailored towards humaniod combat.
