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.
|
 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.
|
 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.
|
 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.
|
 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.
|
 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. |
