To be honest, the MARS standard issue kit is, at least towards the beginning of OGJ, pretty conservative. I like the idea of bullpup weapons (and am watching
the Kel Tec RFB to see if it turns out to be reliable) but the idea of developing a battle rifle at the same time it's needed... well, it seems like a fair
way to get people killed. The FAL is one of the most well proven long arms around; it's known what it takes to make it go bang every time it's supposed
to. I've more advanced versions of various stuff in mind for eventually, though. The calibre issue for standard... I want to be able to defeat light armor
they might encounter with normal rifles, while every fireteam should have backup for really heavy stuff, and the SAW lends volume of fire when it's needed.
... what can I say, KJ (the guy behind the keyboard and the guy who shapeshifts into Kali) is a bit of a hoplophile and thinks about this stuff too much.![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif)
