PERSONAL WEAPONS:

HECKLER AND KOCH M986 1195eb
RIF  -  +1  -  N  -  C  -  5D6/varies  (6mm caseless / 40mm grenade)  40 / 1  -  1/3/20 / 1  -  VR
A very reliable assault weapon from H&K.  Its bullpup configuration makes for a more accurate weapon in a smaller package and its high ammo capacity is an added bonus to an already fine weapon.  The 40mm built in grenade launcher ensures a trooper carrying this weapon will be prepared for any contingency.  The only drawback to this weapon is its ammunition.  6mm is fine for most situations, but it is underpowered in comparison to EDF and U.S. assault weapons, and has trouble penetrating armored targets.  The newer M986B version features an 8 shot magazine fed shotgun/25mm gl and is chambered in more conventional 5.56mm.  This weapon is so popular with Argentina's military forces, they use the weapon system for virtually all of their rifle needs.
