Universe and lore

Main article: MA5K carbine

The MA5K Avenger is a variant of the MA5K carbine, a cut-down MA5 series-rifle primarily utilised by special operators of the United Nations Space Command. As with its larger assault rifle cousins, the MA5K is chambered for M118 7.62x51mm ammunition, though the Avenger variant specifically utilises a 60-round detachable box magazine over the standard MA5K's 30.
