We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, RPGs. We got sonic, electronic ball-breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..." - Private Hudson, Aliens

The Colonial Marines are equipped with the best equipment around, well with what a couple thousand credits can buy, at least. They have a load-out of a lot of equipment.

Standard Marine Weapons

The marines get the choice of five weapons. They range from a pistol to a heavy M41A. The marines are equipped with guns for any situation they encounter, no matter what the threat will be. When using any weapon it is best to aim for the chest. This is because in case you accidentally hit a marine with a stray bullet they will take less damage. On a side note, aiming for the head only increases damage against ravagers. Unless you are 1v1ing a ravager, always aim at the chest because aiming anywhere else results in an accuracy penalty (that stacks with other ones). Armor Piercing ammo is unique in that it does moderately less damage overall in exchange for increased armor penetration. It is only effective against armored foes. Using it against unarmored foes will result in a large drop in damage instead. It also has a very high chance to break bones and rupture internal organs, which is ineffective against xenos but extremely deadly against humans. All of the standard marine weapons listed here (with the exception of the M44 Revolver) comes either in standard variant or snow variant.

Weapon:	Description:
M4A3 Service Pistol	This is one of two pistols that the marines have a choice to take. It is a reliable fallback weapon and it uses 9mm pistol ammo with the magazine holding 12 bullets. All Staff Officers start with one, including 2 Extended Magazines and a Hollowpoint Magazine. Ammunition: M4A3 Standard Magazine | M4A3 Extended Magazine | M4A3 Armour Piercing Magazine | M4A3 Hollowpoint Magazine | M4A3 Incendiary Magazine
M44 Revolver	This revolver is the standard side arm for military officers but is also available as a alternative sidearm for marines. The revolver deals significantly more damage per round than the M4A3. It uses .44 rounds and holds 7 bullets. The Executive Officer is issued with one. Ammunition: M44 Speed Loader | M44 Marksman Speed Loader | M44 PW-MX Speed Loader
M39 Submachine Gun	This is the standard sub-machine gun. A mediocre firearm that is useful for support marines, such as medics, engineers or specialists with heavy weapons. It is also possible to be used in conjunction with a riot shield. It uses 10x20mm SMG rounds, and holds 48 bullets. This weapon can also load armour piercing, extended, and incendiary ammunition. Has burst-fire capabilities. Ammunition: M39 Magazine | M39 Extended Magazine | M39 Armour Piercing Magazine | M39 Incendiary Magazine
M41A Mk2 Pulse Rifle	This is the standard issue pulse rifle used by many military forces around the universe. A reliable, robust and overall effective standard issue weapon. The M41A must be held in two hands to fire. It uses 10mm special rifle rounds and a standard magazine holds 40 rounds. Unlike the M41A Mk1 which holds 99 rounds the Mk2 only holds 40 rounds but offers the user greater capabilities to customize their weapon with attachments. There are also extended magazines available. Has burstfire capabilities and it comes equipped with a 2-shot grenade launcher which can't be reloaded once all shots are used. Ammunition: M41A Magazine | M41A Extended Magazine | M41A Armour Piercing Magazine | M41A Incendiary Magazine
M37A2 Pump Shotgun	Shotgun utilized by USCM Marines. This weapon is powerful in close quarters combat and is capable of killing even the strongest of hostile targets. This is in addition to its good chance to outright stun enemies if you fire at them at very close range. It is, however, difficult to use as the shotgun has to be cocked after ever time its fired. Ammo management can be difficult as well. It uses shotgun slugs or buckshot shells and can hold 8 rounds plus a 9th in the chamber. You can take out a handful (5) shell into your hand and use these to rapidly reload your shotgun. Its highly recommended you set up a macro to pump your shotgun. Ammunition: Slug Rounds | Buckshot Rounds | Incendiary Slug Rounds
M11 Combat Bayonet	A sharp cutting tool that can be hidden in your marine combat boots. Very useful for cutting through materials, but it should only to be used as a last resort against enemies. In case of being devoured it can be used to cut your way out of an Alien. Applying cable coil to its grip allows the knife to be used as a regular Bayonet Attachment.
M2132 Machete	Latest issue of the USCM Machete. Unlike the Combat Bayonet, this cannot slide on to marine boots, but it can fit on to your waist. Great for clearing out jungle or brush on outlying colonies. Found commonly in the hands of scouts and trackers, but difficult to carry with the usual kit. It comes with a scabbard which can fit on to your back. It's only available in Cargo's munition vendors.

Specialist Marine Weapons

These marine weapons are weapons, or weapon systems, that only the Specialist has access to.

Weapon:	Description:
M42A Scoped Rifle	Scout or Sniper Loadout only. A high power sniper rifle, this weapon deals a considerable amount of damage per bullet and is capable of attacking and hitting targets at extreme ranges. It comes equipped with a high power scope allowing the user a wide range of vision. This weapon is limited to seven rounds per magazine. A very obvious and loud firing noise and that it is ineffective in close range combat as bullets fired too close to the user will miss. Ammunition: M42A Marksman Magazine | M42A Flak Magazine | M42A Incendiary Magazine
M92 Grenade Launcher	Heavy Grenadier Loadout only. A midpoint between a shotgun and the rocket launcher, the grenade launcher is a two-handed weapon that can hold and fire up to five grenades of any variety. This weapon also has a inbuilt auto-lock system preventing the fired grenades from detonating if they hit a target that is too close to the weapon handler. Ammunition: M40 HEDP Grenade | M15 Fragmentation Grenade | M40 HIDP Incendiary Grenade | Smoke Grenade
File:SADAR.png SADAR	Demolitionist Loadout only. A reloadable, single shot rocket launcher. This weapon carries the most powerful and deadliest ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either High Explosive, Armour Piercing, or White Phosphorus 84mm rockets. Where HE rockets are effective against tight groups of hostile targets, the AP rockets deal little actual splash damage but they deal immense damage to a single target. Unlike the grenade launcher SADAR ammo is more scarce, as well as the SADAR being more unwieldy to employ. Its not actually homing and its reusable but the user must stay still while reloading. Comes loaded with a HE rocket. It cannot be fired on the Almayer. Ammunition: High Explosive (HE) Rocket | Anti-Armor (AA or AP) Rocket | Phosphorous (PHS) Rocket

Grenade Launcher Ammo

Ammunition:	Description:
M40 HEDP Grenade	Exploding in a 3x3 radius, these Grenades also have the potential to damage nearby walls. Take care when using near structures leading to space or even near your own marines! The specialist has these grenades in their vendors at round start.
M15 Fragmentation Grenade	An outdated USCM Fragmentation Grenade. With decades of service in the USCM, the old M15 Fragmentation Grenade is slowly being replaced with the slightly safer M40 HEDP. It is set to detonate in 4 seconds. Slightly better radius than the M40 HEDP. Available in explosives crates.
M40 HIDP Incendiary Grenade	Exploding in a 3x3 radius, incendiary grenades are a powerful area of denial weapon that can deal immense damage to a hostile target if its caught in the fire. Difference with this grenade is that its effects linger for a while making it useful in keeping Xenomorphs back. Engineers and Specialists start with 2 of these in their vendors at round start.
M40 HSDP Smoke Grenade	Standard issue USCM smoke grenade, does what it says on the tin. Primarily useful to deal with insurgents in colonies or potential hostile boarders.

Rocket Launcher Ammo

Ammunition:	Description:
File:SADAR HE.png High Explosive (HE) Rocket	Deals damage and stuns in a 4 meter wide area. Deals little additional damage on direct hit with a target. Ineffective against heavily armoured targets.
File:SADAR AP.png Anti-Armor (AA or AP) Rocket	Deals massive damage to any target hit directly by the rocket. Deals very little to no splash damage. Rocket MUST hit a target directly to do damage. Very effective against heavily armoured targets.
File:SADAR PHS.png Phosphorous (PHS) Rocket	Generates very high heat levels on target. High heat will generally kill any Alien hit directly, as well as deal heat damage to anyone nearby for a extended period, human or otherwise. Effective against heavily armoured targets.

Restricted Marine Weapons

These marine weapons are uncommon and usually are only used by specialists, high ranking marine officers or select personal.

Weapon:	Description:
M4A3 Commander Pistol	Unique variant of the M4A3 issued and only used by the Commander. Has a unique sprite but is otherwise identical to a M4A3. It starts loaded with hollow-point rounds and an AP magazine can be found in the Commander's quarters. Ammunition: M4A3 Standard Magazine | M4A3 Extended Magazine | M4A3 Armour Piercing Magazine | M4A3 Hollowpoint Magazine | M4A3 Incendiary Magazine
88 Mod 4	A powerful sidearm issued mainly to Weyland-Yutani response teams, but also issued to the USCM in small numbers. Based on the original VP70 more than a century ago. Fires 9mm armour piercing pistol rounds and is capable of 3-round burst. Typically used by Sniper Specialists employing the usage of the Scout Loadout, or the Corporate Liaison for self defence. It is also a standard sidearm for Weyland-Yutani PMC soldiers. Ammunition: 9mm Magazine | 9mm Armour Piercing Magazine
M56 Smartgun	Smartgunner only, it's also available inside the Commander's secure box inside the Command Armoury. The most complicated weapon available to a marine. Sadly, the Smartgun lacks any auto-tracking capabilities. It does, however, have an impressive 250 round ammo pool to draw from, an inbuilt infrared sensor allowing great visibility in low-light conditions, deals a good amount of damage per bullet with a high rate of fire, have burstfire capabilities, an automatic reloading system, and the coup de grace being that due to the gun's toggle-able complex targeting algorithms each bullet will not hit any fellow marine. This allows a smartgun operator to fire freely through a group of marines without fear of hitting them. The Smartgun requires a special harness to even lift and will automatically retract to the harness suit storage when the user is knocked down. Like the SADAR, the user must stand still while reloading. Ammunition: M56 Power Pack
Tactical Shotgun	A unique Weyland-Yutani semi-automatic shotgun with a rapid fire rate and an attached Underslung Grenade Launcher. Can be found in the Military Police armoury and Combat Information Centre's armoury. Ammunition: Slug Rounds | Buckshot Rounds | Incendiary Slug Rounds
M240 Incinerator Unit	Capable of shooting flames by lighting welding fuel or the custom napalm manufacturers mix to fuel it, this weapon is capable of dealing massive damage to Xenos and Marines alike who stand in its fires. Unlike bullets, this weapon doesn't stop on the first mob hit, it can pass through metal grilles and girders, and can light narrow hallways ablaze, potentially damaging multiple enemies. Beware of friendly fire and make sure you have a Medic equipped with Kelotane or Dermaline if you decide to go this route! Fire protection is definitely something to consider as it lessens the effects of the burning liquid but it'll still hurt. The longer the enemy stands in the flames, the more they are damaged and have a chance of being set alight. Furthermore, the flamer has a high chance of setting both humans and aliens on fire, forcing them to roll to put themselves out. Be careful when you are using this weapon around friendlies, lest you doom them to a fiery grave. In the right hands this is a powerful weapon. The tank can be refuelled only with welder fuel after you use up all of the napalm mix which came straight from the manufacturing line. Currently, two flamers can be found in a Squad Leader's personal vendor. More flamers can be ordered from cargo. Ammunition: M240 Incinerator Tank
M41AE2 Heavy Pulse Rifle	Currently undergoing field testing, the M41AE2 is similar to its smaller M41A cousin. Armed with 100-round box magazines, the M41AE2 fires the same 10x24mm caseless ammunition as its relatives, albeit at a slower rate of fire. This means it is also capable of loading their (smaller) magazines in a pinch. It can be ordered from Cargo via the WY Weapons Crate. Ammunition: 10x24mm M41AE2 Magazine
M4RA Battle Rifle	An advanced prototype of the M41A and the designated marksman rifle of the USCM. Has a slower rate of fire but deals slightly more damage per round. It can also be used in burst fire mode. Uses special A19 high velocity rounds but is also backwards compatible with M41A magazines. It can be ordered in WY weapon crates ordered by Cargo. Comes equipped with a rail scope and a M41A marksman stock. Ammunition: A19 High Velocity Magazine | M41A Magazine | M41A Extended Magazine | M41A Armour Piercing Magazine | M41A Incendiary Magazine
M41A Mk1 Pulse Rifle	An older generation Pulse Rifle that has been phased out by the USCM. Still a popular weapon among mercenary groups and nostalgic soldiers. Holds 95 rifle rounds per magazine, but suffers from slightly less accuracy than the newer M41A Mk2. Three rifles can be found in the command armoury on the Almayer. Ammunition: 10x24mm M41A MK1 Magazine

Explosives

Explosive:	Description:
M40 HEDP Grenade	Exploding in a 3x3 radius, these Grenades also have the potential to damage nearby walls. Take care when using near structures leading to space or even near your own marines! The specialist has these grenades in their vendors at round start.
M15 Fragmentation Grenade	An outdated USCM Fragmentation Grenade. With decades of service in the USCM, the old M15 Fragmentation Grenade is slowly being replaced with the slightly safer M40 HEDP. It is set to detonate in 4 seconds. Slightly better radius than the M40 HEDP. Available in explosives crates.
M40 HIDP Incendiary Grenade	Exploding in a 3x3 radius, incendiary grenades are a powerful area of denial weapon that can deal immense damage to a hostile target if its caught in the fire. Difference with this grenade is that its effects linger for a while making it useful in keeping Xenomorphs back. Engineers and Specialists start with 2 of these in their vendors at round start.
C4	C4 is typically issued to Squad Leaders, Specialists and Engineers. C4 is primarily useful for quickly breaking into secure buildings, but it's also the only method to destroy Alien tunnels. The minimum time that can be set on a charge is 10 seconds and detonates in a 1.5 meter radius. Engineers start with 4 per vendor, Specialists start with 2 in their vendor and squad leaders start with 1 per vendor.

Restricted Defensive Marine Equipment

Defensive Equipment:	Description:
Sentry Gun	These engineer-only sentry guns are the spear and shield of the Colonial Marines. These beasts hold 300 shots a mag and cause moderate brute damage to the target hit. The tracking system is capable of identifying a non-marine from a marine and fire at it. Firing options are three round burst fire and single shot. They are capable of firing in a directional cone or 360 degrees around the turret. Directional mode engages targets faster than 360 mode. How to construct it: Open the crate, Take the Plasteel out, activate it in hand and select the turret frame. Wrench turret frame in place, add cable, add turret, add sensor, add metal, weld together, add battery (try to put in a High-Capacity one rather than the standard one that comes in the box), Click on turret to turn on.
M56D Mounted Smartgun	These engineer-only mounted smartguns are the heavy lifters of the Colonial Marines. The M56D can hold up to 700 tungsten rounds that cause high brute damage to the target upon hit due to their increased armour penetration. The tracking system of a standard smartgun is non-functional on the M56D. How to toggle burst fire: Ctrl click the M56D before manning it, when you next hop on it'll use burst fire. How to construct it: Place the M56D mount on the ground, click and drag from the mount onto your character. Make sure it's on the ground, then anchor it with a wrench, then load the gun with a magazine. Mount the gun and then screwdriver it. Wrench to rotate and screwdriver to disassemble into mount and gun.

Weapon Attachments

Marines can acquire attachments for weapons. Most attachments must be acquired via the Requisitions Officer located in the center of the Almayer's lower deck. Most ROs usually only give one or two attachments to most marines, though some may grant more to squad leaders, medics, engineers, or specialists. Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you.

Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, under barrel and the muzzle. Each location allows only one attachment at a time. Most attachments offer an advantage and some disadvantage.

The statistics for attachments are subject to change and will most likely change often. Until they do change, this page will be up to date on the statistics on each attachment.

Marine Armour

There are several different kinds of Armor available to marines, depending on which role a marine is fulfilling.

Armour:	Description:
File:M3.png M3 Pattern Personal Armour	Standard Issue Armour used by most marine infantry. Provides modest protection from bullet and melee attacks. The M10 Helmet has one internal slot for storing pocket sized items. Addendum: "Donator" Armour, as well as most ERT Armour, while looking unique, is essentially a resprited piece of M3 Armour in terms of defence.
B12 Pattern Personal Armour	Unique Armour worn by squad leaders. The main difference with the squad leaders Armour is that the Armour has an attached, and stronger , personal flashlight that can be activated at will. In addition the M11 Helmet has a inbuilt camera allowing for command overwatch to observe the squad's actions from the Almayer.
M2 Pattern Personal Armour	Older generation Armour worn by Military Police. M2 Armour offers higher protection against melee attacks but less protection against projectile attacks.
B18 Experimental Personal Armour	Heavy Grenadier loadout only. This Armour has the best personal protection of any Armour the Marines can get as it has a very high armour soak value and three tricordrazine auto injectors.
M4 Pattern PMC Armour	A modification of the standard M3 Pattern armour, worn by high profile security operators and corporate mercenaries.
X-13 Apesuit	A prototype combat armour worn by the Weyland-Yutani Commando unit. It is the most powerful personal armour available, it has an extremely high armour value that makes it very resistant to melee and projectile attacks, in addition the armour is utterly acid proof.
