| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I think I remember the other rifle too with all the computerized balogna. It had an IFF system for those people who couldn't tell the difference between their squadmates and a Talibaner. It was rediculous. The XM 8, on the other hand, is quite a bit better. And it has a larger, kickyoass sized round. |

| Centurion | Post; Not really "new"None of the weapons listed are really "new". They have been either in service or testing for years now. Most are just mods on current issue.
