Universe and lore[edit]

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,[2] though the Avenger variant specifically utilises a 60-round detachable box magazine over the standard MA5K's 30.[3]
