Unlike the M41A MK1, which holds 95 rounds, the MK2 holds only 40 rounds but offers the user greater capabilities to customize their weapon with attachments. The M41A MK2 has 3-round burstfire capabilities as well as a standard-issue UGL which starts unloaded, but can be loaded and reloaded with grenades (ask RO for grenades). Chances are, the M41A MK2 might jam and will fail to fire for a second, though very rare.
A non-standard alternative to the standard issue M41A-MK2 available to the jarheads of the USCM. The L42A is known for its higher lethality, due primarily to the significant increase in barrel length over the M41A. It can quickly change barrel attachments because it features a larger muzzle ring quick detach than the M41A. The increased barrel length increases muzzle velocity which leads to significantly better ballistic coefficients, drastically increasing the accuracy of the weapon. The L42 holds significantly less ammunition in each magazines, only 25 rounds in a standard magazine.

An Armat Battlefield Systems Shotgun utilized by USCM Marines. This weapon is powerful in close quarters combat and is capable of killing even the strongest of hostile targets. Due to its sheer power, the M37A2 is capable of stunning even the mighty Alien when fired from close range, but users should still keep in mind that the M37A2 must be pumped after every shot. There is no default hotkey for pumping the shotgun, though you can set up one as a Macro.
