The '''V Mark III - Heavy Barrel Dual Calibre Personal Weapon System'''{{Ref/Note|The full designation here is taken from two decals on the side of the weapon prop, one reading ''V Mark III - Heavy Barrel'' and the other reading ''Dual Calibre Weapon System''. The "''V''" presumably stands for ''Vakara Mark III''.}} is a rifle manufactured by [[Vakara GesmbH]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Prop|TV|Detail=V Mark III - Heavy Barrel rifle prop}} It is used by the forces under [[Vinsher Grath]]'s control.{{Ref/Film|Id=inheritance|TV|Episode=Inheritance}} 

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Mark III is a "dual calibre" weapon; it appears to have points for the weapon to load two magazines, a [[Wikipedia:9×19mm Parabellum|9x19mm]] pistol cartridge one in front of the trigger, and a secondary [[7.62x51mm]] magazine between the 9x19mm magazine and the foregrip. It is unclear how the "dual calibre" system of the weapon works, as it only has one barrel - possibly indicating some ability to adjust which kind of round is being fired by the user for greater tactical flexibility. The weapon features attachment rails along the top of the gun and around the sides of the barrel. A sling can also be added onto the gun too. Vakara's logo is painted on the magwell.{{Ref/Reuse|inheritance}}

===Usage===
Several Mark IIIs were used by forces under the control of colonial [[Governor]] [[Vinsher Grath]] on [[Madrigal/Silver|Madrigal]] around [[Timeline/Silver#2552|2552]]. These soldiers would attempt to use them against [[Kwan Ha]] and [[Soren-066/Silver|Soren-066]] at [[Jin Ha's Outpost]].{{Ref/Reuse|inheritance}}

==Production notes==
The prop used for the V Mark III - Heavy Barrel rifle is visually based on the real-world [[Wikipedia:KRISS Vector|KRISS Vector]] sub-machine gun, similar to the [[V Mark I SMG]].
