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}}


The colloquially-termed '''"Confetti Maker"''' is a [[Human]] ground firearm, primarily used by the [[United Rebel Front]] forces.
==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}}


==Introduction==
===Ammunition===
The "Confetti Maker" is a .308-caliber machine gun. However, they are grossly inaccurate and significantly less effective than more advanced [[weapons]]. At close range, however, the Confetti Maker is highly effective. It acquired its pseudonym from its excessive ability to fill the air with rounds, thus making the target into shreds of confetti.<ref>''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 36</ref>
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}}


It is capable of firing normal or [[Armor Piercing Rounds]], such as [[MUTA-AP-09334]] ammunition rounds.<ref>''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 33</ref>
===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}}


==Appearances==
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}}
The "Confetti Maker" is one of the types of guns that grew into standard use by UNSC rebel factions such as the [[United Rebel Front]] around [[2531]]. Rebels bore Confetti Makers against [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] when Blue Team attacked a United Rebel Front encampment, [[Camp New Hope]], planet [[Victoria]], the [[111 Tauri System]]. The users were killed by [[Kurt]] after he killed them using [[Antlion Anti-Personnel Mines]] and saved the captured [[Spartan-II]]'s..
