Description

The Federated-Barrett M42B Rifle System is a high-tech ballistic rifle combat system produced by Federated-Barrett, a subsidiary of Federated Industries and the primary small-arms supplier for the Federated Suns. Designed to be the company's replacement for the venerable Federated Long Rifle, the M42B can be modified into three different weapons with a simple four-kilogram modification kit. In its standard rifle mode the M42B functions like a traditional projectile rifle with an underslung Compact Grenade Launcher and detachable five-round magazine. In a matter of moments it can be turned into a light machine gun with the addition of a heavier barrel, bipod and high-capacity linkless-feed ammo drum, or a special-operations close-combat rifle by swapping in a shorter barrel fitted with a Sound and Flash Suppressor. All three versions of the M42B also feature a built-in Laser Sight.[1]
