The Mauser 960 Assault System was the standard-issue rifle of the Star League Defense Force.
Overview
Developed by Mauser & Gray Firearms, the 960 was a Pulse Laser rifle that also featured an integrated grenade launcher and retractable Vibroblade bayonet. Both the pulse laser and grenade launcher used the same trigger, requiring the use of a safety/selector switch located next to the bayonet activation button. Contained within the weapon's stock was an extensive survival kit, which included two two-hour emergency flares which doubled as fire-startes, a flashlight and batteries for 48-hours of use, a pulse signal stick with visible/infrared strobe light and emergency radio, a folding spade and a medical kit which included a two-day supply of nutrition pills and a five-meter length of cable.[1]
Of the few original Mauser 960s which have survived into the 31st Century, most are in horrible shape and prone to malfunction, such as the selector switch being jammed, while the survival kit has typically been stripped for use, though the stock compartment can be used to store extra ammunition.[1] ComStar however was able to maintain production of the Mauser 960 and equips its troops with the system, and both the Word of Blake and the Clans would use the 960 as the basis for successor designs, the Mauser 1200 Light Support System and the Mauser IIC Assault System respectively.
