MA5C Assault Rifle
ONI Variant
The MA5C Assault Rifle - ONI Variant is the standard assault rifle for ONI personnel. It serves as a suppressive and short to medium range counter-infantry weapon. As opposed to the standard MA5C, the MA5C Assault Rifle - ONI Variant is capable of a much further fire distance of up to 80 feet. This weapon is standard issue on all ONI ships as of 2555. ONI marines can be seen using this weapon when deployed in the field.
The weapon sports a very stylish semi-matte black finish on the rubber grips, with a slight navy blue polish on the metal. The weapon itself proves highly effective against shields at a range of less then 30 feet, and effective to suppress and damage shieled and power armored targest at anything exceeding 30 feet. Although the accuracy is excellent up to 80 feet, the weapon itself proves to be slightly innaccurate in the hands of a novice when being used in full-auto mode. It is mounted with a digital compass and ammo counter.
Korman Industries Prototype
This weapon was a prototype for a new generation of weapons that were being designed by Korman Industriesin the early 2520s. ONI had a contract with Korman Industires, and due to poor reception of Korman Industries and their developments, the contract was scrapped and project was undertaken by ONI insiders, namely Preston J. Vernette. THis weapon was destroyed in 2525, when it fell apart during a test.
UNSC Variant
Like all UNSC grade weapons, the MA5C Assault Rifle was recycled for private use by ONI Peacekeepers. It maintains all of the UNSC era specifications but lacks the ONI specific upgrades.
Director Vernette's Personal Notes
MA5C Assault Rifles are the standard weapon for field ops. They are used by security forces and Marines alike. It makes a good suppression weapon and, when used in small bursts, can make an excellent pin-point weapon to eliminate lightly armored hostiles. This is a support weapon, first and foremost, and there should always be other soldiers with more precise weapons to finish a job that the Assault Rifle cannot. Personally, I do not mind this gun, I always thought it was pretty cool.
