M51/M92 Assault Rifle

The M51 became the standard issue service rifle of Antara from 1351, three years after the World War, derived from the MP46 fielded by Siegmaria during the conflict. The M51 was in service with the military for 70 years before being phased out with the carbine variant of the same weapon, as well as the M7.

The A1 variant featured rails that allowed for basic optical sights, as well as a M55GL grenade launcher with a dedicated handguard. The A2 variant had a retractable stock as standard issue, as well as rails on the handguard for attachments. The M92 is the carbine variant that superseded the M51.
