UFM Marines

The UFM Marines are the stalwart soldiers of the Federation. Armed with various weapons and equipment, they are capable of getting almost any job done. For missions that requires a bit more subtlety, the UFM sends in the Blackguard, elite soldiers capable of performing tasks far beyond the range of a normal Marine. The standard issue weapon across most of the Marine Core is the M248A1 Gauss Assault Rifle, the MP-275 for the Blackguard. The M248A1 has a rate of fire of 20 rounds a minute with a clip that has enough gas for 60 rounds, while the MP-275 fires considerably faster, at 30 rounds a minute with a clip that holds enough gas for 60. The standard issue sidearm is the Colt M1-9862 Gauss.
