The MR-23 (Militia Rifle 2323) is the standard issued infantry rifle of the faction known as the Militia. The weapon was designed and developed by Warwick Industries.
History[]
When the Intergalactic Alliance of Freedom was issued the PA-38 rifle; the Militia took a beating and lost a significant amount of troops. Without hesitation; the faction seeked multiple different industries that could assist them in their predicament. They were then approached by Warwick Industries who offered them a new rifle that could level the playing field.
Miles Warwick; son of CEO John Warwick was the one who designed the weapon and later a prototype was constructed, as well as tested. The weapon was tested by members of the Militia and they loved it so much; by popular demand, they mass produced the weapon.
Functions[]
The MR-23 is a bullpup energy assault rifle designed with a select fire system. The weapon has a 20-30 round plasma powercell magazine that ejects automatically when the magazine is empty. It's select fire consists of a semi-automatic, 5 round burst and full automatic fire. The plasma bolt that emits from the barrel is known to be a shade of energy green. They also have a multi-visioned nightscope; allowing the weapon's user to pick out targets in darkness or through solid walls. There is also a handgrip that can be placed where the scope is located; allowing for the weapon to be carried like an M-16 rifle.
The weapon also has a suppressor that can diminish the brightness of the energy bolt being emitted from the chamber. A plasma flamethrower and grenade launcher is also attachabable; even some foregrips are additional. The weapon also has very little to absolutely no recoil when it fires and can be duel wielded.
