MA series

The Individual Combat Weapon System series (ICWS series), MA line, or MA Assault Rifle series is a series of gas-operated assault rifles produced by Misriah Armory that are used by the branches of the United Nations Space Command. Weapons of the ICWS series are given the prefix "MA".

Overview
They are chambered for a variety of cartridges, though the most common is the 7.62×51mm round, with specialist ammunition available via request. Fire modes include single shot, burst, and fully automatic. All iterations of the MA series are presumably bullpup weapons, with the receiver and feeding system located behind the trigger. The weapons of the MA series are rather heavy, though they are easy to clean and use. They are capable of performing in a variety of combat scenarios. The MA series includes the MA5 subseries, which has served as the UNSC's primary service rifle since 2437. The weapons of the MA5 series, and presumably the whole of the MA series, are capable of being outfitted with M301 Grenade Launchers and underslung shotguns.

Variants

 * MA1 Individual Combat Weapon System - The MA1 was presumably the first iteration of the MA series. It was likely the immediate predecessor to the MA2.
 * MA2B Individual Combat Weapon System - The MA2B is, in many respects, a cut-down version of the later MA5B. It is chambered for .390 caliber ammunition and can fire fifteen rounds per second. The MA2B sees sparse service with UNSC Special Forces operators.

MA5 Series

 * MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System - The MA37 is the UNSC Army's variant of the MA5 series. The MA37 receives a thirty-two round magazine.
