Weapons

Weapons are used by the squad to convince the N.A.C. that totalitarianism is a Bad Ideatm. Each weapon has a specific tactical niche on the battlefield and mastering them all is... Well, it's kind of obvious, really. It's essential to victory.

Overview
Every weapon is defined by three characteristics:
 * Damage and critical damage, which is exactly what it says on the tin.
 * Attack pattern, namely, whether it attacks in a cone, deals AoE damage, or just hits one target.
 * Ammo capacity, how many shots it can get off before requiring reloading. More powerful weapons typically require reloading every other attack.

Pistols
Handguns might not seem like much when you have anti-materiel rifles and miniguns, but they have one advantage: They're small, light, and have a generous ammo capacity, making them excellent backup weapons.

CP-5 Pistol


 * A reliable 9mm pistol, which has proved itself time and time again in the field. Prior to the UPA/NAC split, this was the USA's standard military-issue sidearm.


 * HP-36 Silenced:A silenced pistol made entirely from carbon fibre. In the early stages of the NAC/UPA conflict, a weapon very similar to this was deployed to assassinate Leonard Adler, a key member of the UPA coup.

Rifles
High damage to any single target.
 * F26-Assault: Standard issue UPA assault-rifle. Based upon new weapons tech which was tested after the UPA/NAC split. The weapon was later adopted by the NAC after schematics were leaked from the manufacturer. The NAC variant is practically the same weapon, apart from it being called the NAC 26 Marksman.


 * F26-Silenced:A silenced variant of the UPA's classic F26 Assault rifle. Primarily used during covert ops.:

Shotguns
Short-ranged scatterguns with a cone attack. Extremely powerful, but require getting up close and personal with the enemy.
 * ZEBRA SG-33: Standard shotgun.

Sniper rifles
High-powered single shot rifles. Unlike other weapons, their shots go through walls.
 * RAK 52 Sniper:An efficient long-range weapon based on the original series of RAK scoped rifles.

Flamethowers
Large, area of attack weapons that leave deadly flaming puddles in their wake.

Miniguns
Massive engines of destruction. Need to be loaded with fresh ammunition after each attack, but deals a tremendous amount of damage in a cone pattern.
 * Boyo Max 15

A minigun capable of raining absolute terror onto its targets, the Boyo Max is notorious for being used as a crowd control weapon during the riots which broke out after the UPA/NAC divide. Although loaded with rubber bullets, many casualties were reported, then covered up by the NAC's propaganda machine.
