This '''CM 300 frontier rifle''' is a [[carbine]] variant of the [[MA3 series]] assault rifles employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It is colloquially known as the "'''Confetti Maker'''" due to its abnormally high rate of fire.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=175}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The CM 300 was introduced in the late-24th century as a [[carbine]] variant of the [[MA3A assault rifle]], intended for use by colonial settlers and security forces. The weapon boasts an extremely high rate of fire leading to its affectionate nickname "Confetti Maker"{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, and are grossly inaccurate at any kind of appreciable range{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}, with an effective range of 30 metres.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC328}} | |||
===Ammunition=== | |||
The carbine fires [[7.62x51mm|7.62mm]] (.30 cal) ammunition, and is compatible with [[armor piercing round]]s such as the [[MUTA-AP-09334]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO|GoO|Chapter=1}} | |||

The | ===Usage=== | ||
The CM 300 was originally designed for use by colonists during the ''[[Domus Diaspora]]''. The weapon proved to be immensely popular, leading to unlicensed copies to be produced ''en masse'' well over a century later. As such, surplus CM 300s were a staple weapon of [[Insurrectionist]] forces during the [[Insurrection]] and other criminals. A common practice in this manner was to pair the CM 300 carbine with high-capacity magazines for improvised use as a [[Machine gun|light machine gun]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
Though retired from UNSC service, it had become popular on the black market by [[2531]]. In that year the Confetti Maker served as the standard weapon of the [[United Rebel Front]] cell led by [[General]] [[Howard Graves]] on the planet [[Victoria]].{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}} | |||
