Weapon: GAAR-10 (General Adaptable Assault Rifle, 10x42mm caseless)

Classification: Multi-Purpose Battle Rifle

Users: Various (mass-produced rifle rather than character-specific)

Derived from: Various (including the QBZ-95, VSSK, SA80 and OTS-14, among others)

Manufacturer: Various (designed by Quiemar General Arms Co.)

Form 1: Heavy carbine. 40 round magazine of high-velocity 10x42mm ammunition, bullpup configuration. 50cm barrel (total weapon length 61cm). Moderate-heavy recoil (stock and bolt design helps reduce this) and decent accuracy, muzzle velocity of 950m/s. Fire rate of 400/650RPM (depending on fire mode). Fire modes: Semi-auto, suppressive (400 RPM), cyclic burst (650RPM). Weight: 3.4Kg (loaded). Holographic 1.8x-3.4x variable magnification sight. Default configuration

Asthetics 1: Similar to the standard rifles used by the Atlesian Security units in terms of the front; however, the reciever, stock, and grip are completely different and more remeniscent of the Ruzzian VSSK or Chinese QBZ-95

Form 2: DMR. 24 round HPAP/HPLR (high-precision anti-personel/long-range) magazines, can also accept standard box magazines. Same general body but lightened configuration with longer 70cm barrel and heavier bolt, bringing total weapon length up to 83cm and the muzzle velocity up to 1075m/s, as well as greatly improving the accuracy at range. Lacks bayonet lug and full-auto capability of the carbine variant, but still maintains a relatively low weight of 4kg when loaded. Includes an extra 5x and 8x magnification options, as well as a bipod. Can mount a thermal sight, which increases the weight by 0.4kg.

Asthetics 2: Similar to the carbine configuration, but featuring a more prominent scope with a higher silouette (though still relatively sleek), a longer barrel, a bipod, skeletonized furniture, and a more tailored stock, making it somewhat resemble the WA2000

Form 3: LSW/LMG. 100-round quad-stacked extended magazine, can accept standard 40-round magazines. Similar body to other two variants but with a sturdier (and heavier) recoil-negating stock and a heavier (and slightly longer) barrel. This brings the barrel length up to 57cm, the weapon length up to 75cm, and the weaight up to 5kg when loaded with the 100-round magazine. Comes with a bipod fixed above the barrel and has a similar sight setup to the carbine variant, though it can also use the same thermal optic as the DMR variant.

Asthetics 3: Similar to the Carbine as well, but noticably bulkier, with a longer barrel (which can drop out the side and be swapped in several seconds and is somewhat remeniscent of that used by the L86 LSW) and a wider magazine port in order to accept the extended magazine. Also features a bipod similar to that of the DMR variant and a longer and wider recoil-negating stock (which when combined with the bipod reduces the recoil impuslese to negligible levels

NOTE: All three variants use almost entirely interchangable parts and can be converted in around a minute.

Dust usage: While conventional ammunition is used in most cases, it does have the option to use specialized dust-based ammunition (incendiary, explosive, tracer, etc.) and the holographic sight is powered by dust

Ammunition: 10x42mm caseless ammunition which comes in a variety of types, incluing standard FMJ, AP-AP (armor-piercing anti-personel), APLR (anti-personel long-range), HPLR (high-precision long-range [these rounds are similar to EXACTO ammunition and feature small fans which stabilize the bullets in flight, thus preventing drop and counteracting wind]), incendiary, tracer, and impulse (small, weaker rounds which cause small concusive blasts on impact; intended for riot control or less-lethal takedowns rather than combat scenarios). The ammunition is rather light but is powerful and retains a rather high velocity, even with a shorter barrel. It comes in universal 24 round or 40 round magazines, or in 100 round extended magazines (which are only compatable with the magazine well of the LMG variant)

Usage: Used similar to any other assault/battle rifle design, though its short length and excellent ergonomics make it very handy and great for vehicle crews or close-quarters units. The LMG variant is somewhat unwieldy, but even it is still lighter and shorter than many assault rifles in use. This comes at the cost of a slightly higher price tag than most other rifles, though still cheaper than the extremely specialized weapons used by most huntsmen

NOTE: All variants include a built-in range finder that is directly above (and parallel to) the barrel.
