The Stories of a Dreamlander

Pistol Model 1 "Custer"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double Action Only
	CALIBER:	10x18mm Pony Express
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	35 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	142mm/5.59 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	254mm/10 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.25lbs/1.02kg
The first revolver put into production, but not the first one designed, the Custer makes use of Dan Filly's own design to capture the small rim on "rimless" ammunition, using retractable spring arms. This was sold commercially, though several members of the General's Staff and some ranking officers did carry these instead of Lee pistols in the early days of the war.

Pistol Model 2 "Friday"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double/Single Action
	CALIBER:	10x18mm Pony Express
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	30-45 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	52mm/2 inches (standard) 76mm/3 inches (Mod. 2A) 102mm/4 inches (Mod. 2B)
	OVERALL LENGTH:	170mm/6.7 inches 194mm/7.63 inches (Mod. 2A) 220mm/8.66 inches (Mod. 2B)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.15lbs/0.975kg to 2.33lbs/1.05kg
The "Friday" series of revolvers were the first revolver design of Dan Filly, but were later refined, with the original cylinder spring tabs used in the "Custer" series, and a refined version used in the "Friday" series. Bought by several Committees of Public Safety before the creation of the Gendarmes, the "Friday" revolver was issued freely to these local forces, for want of Lee semi-automatic pistols.

Pistol Model 3 "Hickok"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double/Single Action
	CALIBER:	10x24mm Super Pony Express
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	40 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	142mm/5.59 inches (standard)
	OVERALL LENGTH:	260mm/10.23 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.33lbs/1.05kg
The second iteration of the "Custer" line, the "Hickok" adds (or, rather, restores) a spurred hammer, mainly for looks, but also introduces a single action notch to the hammer assembly. While, at the time, no real use for it existed (since ponies lack thumbs), later sales to Canida showed the notch had potential among other races, and was retained for all future iterations of the line. The "Hickok" was also available with 6.7-inch (170mm) barrels.

Pistol Model 4 "Makepeace"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double/Single Action
	CALIBER:	10x24mm Super Pony Express
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	40-50 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	66mm/2.6 inches (standard) 102mm/4.01 inches (Mod. 4A) 152mm/6 inches (Mod. 4B)
	OVERALL LENGTH:	192mm/7.55 inches (standard) 230mm/9.05 inches (Mod. 4A) 280mm/11 inches (Mod. 4B)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.3lbs/1.04kg
The "Makepeace" series of revolvers are, to the "Friday" series, what a .38 Special Revolver would be to a .357 Magnum revolver. Unlike the "Custer" series, which has a hard time using shorter ammunition types in longer cylinders, the swing-out cylinders of the "Friday" and "Makepeace" series use a different style of spring catch, and as a result, the "Makepeace" series can safely chamber 10x18mm Pony Express as well, whereas a "Hickok" would not be able to load that caliber safely.

Pistol Model 5 "Earp"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double/Single Action
	CALIBER:	10x30mm Pony Express Magnum
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	50 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	142mm/5.59 inches (standard)
	OVERALL LENGTH:	266mm/10.47 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.45lbs/1.11kg
The "Earp" revolver is a further evolution of the "Custer" line. Chambered in the 10x30mm Pony Express Magnum, it has power very similar to, though slightly less, than the Earth .41 Magnum caliber (~800j from a 5.6-inch barrel). On Equestria, this is plenty of kinetic energy, even against Porcine. Notable users include Applejack, Sheriff Silver Star, and Braeburn. Barrel lengths included the standard 5.6-inch, 6.55-inch (166mm), 7.5-inch (190mm), and 3.86-inch (98mm) "Banker's Models."

Pistol Model 6 "Masterson"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Revolver, Double/Single Action
	CALIBER:	10x35mm Pony Express Ultra Magnum
	CAPACITY:	6 Round Cylinder
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	60 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	142mm/5.59 inches (standard)
	OVERALL LENGTH:	272mm/10.71 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	112mm/4.41 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.7lbs/1.22kg
The latest and last in the line of break-top revolvers based on the initial "Custer" design, the "Masterson" is chambered in the incredibly powerful 10x35mm Pony Express Ultra Magnum. The round hits at the upper limits of the Earth .41 Magnum cartridge (~1,450j from a 5.6-inch barrel), and kicks hard for the trouble. Its still manageable. The "Banker's Special" model of the Masterson, with 3-inch (76mm) barrels, was used in General K's duel with Sidewinder, in which the General emerged victorious.

Shotgun Model 1 "Sagebrush"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Shotgun, Manual Double Barrel
	CALIBER:	12 Gauge, 76mm/3 inch
	CAPACITY:	2 Chambers/2 Shells
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	40 meters (Buckshot) 60 meters (Military Slug)
	BARREL LENGTH:	388mm/15.275 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	813mm/32 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	338mm/13.3 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	5.91lbs/2.68kg
Filly Arms' Sagebrush Shotgun was produced before the war began in small numbers, with a custom model hand-made for Applejack with her Mark on it. Popular immediately among the civilians of Equestria and elsewhere, FAMC released the Technical Data Package for free, to every arms maker in nations Equestria built an alliance with, to provide a very basic, high powered weapon for anyone's use. Both inexpensive and reliable, the Sagebrush is one of the easiest weapons a non-Unicorn can use, as the catch to open the shotgun is easily reachable with teeth, the spent shells auto-eject, and most ponies can easily grab the rims of two shells at the same time in their teeth, for fast reloading. As with Shotguns on Earth, shells are produced for every possible need - birds, large game, and defense. The standard Equestrian Military load is equal to Earth #1 Buckshot, with 24 pellets.

Carbine Model 1 "Oakley"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Carbine, Lever-Action
	CALIBER:	9x35mm Equestrian, 9x48mm Equestrian, 7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	10/20/30 round detachable magazines
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	150 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	335mm/13.2 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	808mm/31.8 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	185mm/7.28 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.25lbs/2.83kg
The Oakley lever-action carbine is chambered in rifle rounds. It's designed mainly for civilian use, in a competition or hunting setting, though it can be very easily used for self defense. It has a shorter barrel than the Sherman series, so the range is lower than the military rifles. Still, the development of the lever action by Dan Filly allowed this rifle to be marketed all over North Equus as a commercial sale, civilian-intended sporting weapon.

Carbine Model 2 "Winchester"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Pistol-Caliber Carbine, Lever-Action
	CALIBER:	10x18mm Pony Express 10x24mm Super P.E. 10x30mm P.E. Magnum 10x35mm P.E. Ultra Magnum 11.5x32mm Winchester Magnum
	CAPACITY:	12 rounds 11 rounds 10 rounds 9 rounds 8 rounds
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	60 meters 70 meters 80 meters 90 meters 120 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	426mm/16.7 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	832mm/32.75 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	348mm/13.7 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6lbs/2.73kg
Iconic on Earth, newfangled technology in Equestria, the Winchester Carbine is chambered in all the "Pony Express" series cartridges, and thanks to the method the weapon operates, all of the 10mm Pony Express series cartridges could be loaded at the same time, function, and eject. The weapon ejects from the top, and loads individual rounds from the bottom. The tube magazine can also be ejected with the lever on the top-rear of the weapon, and a pre-loaded tube installed, like the Chaffee and similar designs. Note that Winchesters chambered in 11.5x32mm Winchester Magnum are not compatible with 10mm ammunition.

Equestrian Pistol 1 (EP-1), "Lee"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Double Action Semi-Automatic Pistol
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	II - Magazine Catch alteration III - Squeeze Trigger internal alteration
	CALIBER:	9x18mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	8 Round Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	35 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	76mm/4 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	176mm/6.3 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	127mm/5 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	1.32lbs/0.6kg
The first weapon produced for the Equestrian military, an essentially slightly enlarged PA-63 pistol in almost the same caliber, the Lee pistol was produced in large numbers, and widely exported as War Aid. Once the NEIGHTO standardization agreements were made, and the 9x18mm round not accepted as NEIGHTO's standard pistol round, 50% of Lees in Equestria's national inventory were sold off for commercial sale (the funds of which were partly used to offset the cost of the war). Commercial Lees came in stainless steel and two-tone, while strictly Military-issue Lees were Parkerized. In the image seen here, the Lee on the top is a Mark II or Mark III. There is no outward difference between a Mark II and Mark III as the Mark III altered the internal trigger linkage to make the trigger pull more smooth. Mark I Lees are quite rare, as most Lees produced were Mark III's, which started production 24 days before the beginning of the War. The Lee (and its commercial cousin, the "Custer") both suffered from a lack of raw terminal energy, despite the ammunition being based on especially hot Czechoslovakian 9x18mm "9-82" ammunition, and both had a low effective range as a result, not helped by the very small blade front and U-Notch rear sights. This lack of performance led to the development of the much improved 9x23mm NEIGHTO round for handgun and sub-machine gun use.

Equestrian Pistol 2 (EP-2), "Morgan"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Double Action Semi-Automatic Pistol
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa and Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	II - Human/Canidan Version
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	9 + 1 Round Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	50 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	130mm/5.1 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	230mm/9.05 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	158mm/6.2 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2.2lbs/1kg
The Morgan is based in the 1911 series design, but in looks only. The internal mechanism is a standard double-action pistol, not single action, like a 1911. It also lacks the grip safety (since Ponies don't have hands). It's also weighty, at a full kilogram, and larger than the Lee. It does, however, hit harder, and the 9x23mm NEIGHTO round has ballistics very similar to the Earth caliber .38 Super Automatic. The Morgan was very popular throughout North Equus, and was sold privately. While a Canidan version was created, the Republic of Canida did not source a contract for them, opting for the Ambleonian-made Enfield L2 High Power instead.

Equestrian Pistol 3 (EP-3), "Dager"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Double Action Semi-Automatic Pistol
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	II - Human/Canidan Version
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	15 + 1 Round Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	50 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	130mm/5.1 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	223mm/8.75 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	152mm/6 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	2lbs/0.98kg
The Dager is based on the Glock 19, but chambered in 9x23mm NEIGHTO. As it came out somewhat late in the war, and after the NEIGHTO-chambered Morgan, it really only got issued to front line and special operations teams. Militia units ended up with ex-front line Morgans to replace their Lees, and newer Militia units ended up with a mix of the two. By mid-1005 C.S. all the front line military units were fully equipped with Dagers in every billet that required one. It was favored heavily by the troops that used it, as it had very high capacity for a pistol, even more than the Enfield High Power. After the introduction of the Dager, the Morgan became especially favored by the Gendarmes that upgraded from Lees to Morgans. A Human/Canidan/Vulpesian/Griffonic version was created, and was adopted by some of the towns in the Griffon Kingdom for their Town Watches, as well as by the Griffon Kingdom Air Force.

Equestrian Sub-Machine Gun 1 (EU-1), "Zhukov"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sub-Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal, local militia arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official mark variations
	CALIBER:	9x18mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	100 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	260mm/10.25 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	720mm/28.35 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	206mm/8.1 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.1lbs/3.2kg
Produced just before the war began, the Zhukov was based on the STEN sub-machine gun from Earth, with the intent that "parts kits" be distributed faster than manufactured whole weapons, and assembled by local Militia units that were rapidly formed across the Kingdom, so that the main production of Shermans - initially only at Appleloosa Arsenal - could be reserved for the primary units of the Equestrian Army and Royal Guard. As a result, several thousand Parts Kits were sent out all over Equestria, and hand-assembled as intended. However, this also led to significant embellishment and substitution of certain cosmetic parts, including things like leather or linen wraps around the stocks, altered bolt and magazine release handles, or different gauges of steel used in the main body, or different springs. Thus, the statistics listed above only strictly apply to Zhukovs manufactured at MASWC or Appleloosa Arsenal, who both produced them strictly to-pattern. Even after the adoption of its replacement, the Ridgway, the Militia Zhukovs were largely retained by their respective units as reserve weapons.

Equestrian Sub-Machine Gun 2 (EU-2), "Ridgway"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sub-Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	II - Partial redesign (see entry)
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	150 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	205mm/8.1 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	650mm/25.6 inches (stock unfolded) 452mm/17.8 inches (stock folded)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	182mm/7.16 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.8lbs/3.08kg
After the Battle of Chowsin Ridge and the N.E.I.G.T.O. conference, this design entered production to replace the stalwart Zhukov. However, with Tirek copying Zhukovs as his own primary SMG for his forces, the Zhukov would never actually leave NEIGHTO inventory. The Ridgway would be fielded in its place, even if Zhukovs were captured and used regularly. The Ridgway is smaller, lighter, more durable, has a longer range, and hits harder than the Zhukov, and is a superior weapon in every way. It retains the same basic layout, the simplicity, but adds a folding stock, and the ability to fire on semi-automatic.

Equestrian Sub-Machine Gun 2 Mk. II (EU-2 Mk. II), "Ridgway-II"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sub-Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of Mk. I
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	150 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	205mm/8.1 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	752mm/29.6 inches (stock extended) 614mm/24.2 inches (stock retracted)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	184mm/7.2 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.8lbs/3.08kg
This is simply a production-updated Ridgway with a Gale/Gavin stock. That's really all. The stock provides a greater length-of-pull for larger species' use, like Dragons and Griffons.

---

Equestrian Sub-Machine Gun 2, Mk. III* (EU-2 Mk. III*), "Silent Ridgway"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sub-Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Manehattan Army Special Warfare Center
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of Mk. II
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	80 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	154mm/6.1 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	764mm/30 inches (stock extended) 616mm/24.25 inches (stock retracted)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	184mm/7.2 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.8lbs/3.08kg
As with the Mk. II, a total redesign wasn't needed to create a silenced sub-machine gun. The Silent Ridgway is mainly used by Rangers and Naval Special Warfare teams, since the Ridgway has full "over-the-beach" capability built-in. It's shipped on an as-requested basis at the same rate-of-need as the suppressed Gale Carbine.

Equestrian Sub-Machine Gun 3 (EU-3), "Koenig"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sub-Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Manufactured pieces made by multiple smaller manufacturers
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks
	CALIBER:	9x23mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	150 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	224mm/8.81 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	708mm/27.8 inches (design)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	206mm/8.1 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.1lbs/3.2kg
With the large number of Zhukovs in inventory, it was felt that something needed to be done with them to make them viable after NEIGHTO standardization. At the same time, Equestria's allies grew, and needed arms quickly. The solution was a partial reconstruction of the Zhukov, into the Koenig. The main tube is longer, and the barrel is thicker, intentionally to prevent an incorrect assembleage of parts. However, all the internal components besides the new chamber, barrel, and magazine well, are identical to the Zhukov. The weapon itself is distributed as an incomplete parts kit, to be assembled on-site with available materials, along with pattern sheets to cut and measure the needed parts. The only parts distributed are the barrel, chamber, and bolt. And these are made in large numbers by smaller manufacturers around NEIGHTO. Despite not being adopted by the Royal Army, a lot of Militia Zhukovs were reassembled as Koenigs.

Equestrian Rifle 1 (ER-1), "Sherman"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Battle Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	I - Prototype II - Production III - Human/Canidan version
	CALIBER:	9x35mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	10/20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	200 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	356mm/14 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	818mm/32.2 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	218mm/8.6 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	9.2lbs/4.17kg
The Sherman Rifle was Equestria's stalwart defender during the earlier days of the War, with production starting on the Mark II version five months before the war began. Until much better powder was available, only pistol powder formulas were available. As a result, the Sherman's 9x35mm rifle round is basically a double-length 9x18mm pistol round, with a roughly double-length bullet. The weapon has an effective range of 200 meters, though a maximum range of up to 600 meters with a magical scope (first produced by Rarity using hand-sourced gems). With non-magical users, longer range shots ARE possible, with training. The relatively poor performance of this more-or-less Magnum Pistol round (fairly close to the legendary 9x33mm/.357 Magnum round) led to further design refinement, and ultimately, the adoption of a whole new rifle platform and round later. Thousands were handed out as War Aid after adoption of its replacement, and even before so, that Equestria's allies could have some kind of weapon, along with the Technical Data Packages to manufacture more. These continued to be used by Militia until as late as War Day 850.

Equestrian Rifle 1, Mark V (ER-1 Mk. V), "Sniper Sherman"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield & Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	Is a variant of the Mk I
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	600 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	360mm/14.2 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	820mm/32.3 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	248mm/9.76 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.2lbs/3.26kg
The "Sniper Sherman" is a re-arsenal of the Sherman Mk. I, with a Bradley barrel and gas system installed in a Sherman frame, with an adjusted bolt, that's also tuned for precision as best as possible. The major draw is the inclusion of the Buff & Lamb 1-6x "Swallowtail" scope, over the original Gemscopes used on older Shermans pressed into service as DMR's. This extends the effective range of the shooter out to 600 meters.

---

Equestrian Rifle 1, Mark VI (ER-1 Mk. VI), "Sherman-6"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield & Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	Is a variant of the Mk I
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	360mm/14.2 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	820mm/32.3 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	248mm/9.76 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.2lbs/3.26kg
The "Sherman-6" is a re-arsenal of the Sherman Mk. I, with a Bradley barrel and gas system installed in a Sherman frame, with an adjusted bolt. These are intended to be given as War Aid, and to arm new Militia units that haven't been issued 'Bradley' 7mm NEIGHTO rifles. The conversions can be done at the Arsenal level, so, a local military unit arsenal can perform the work in as little as 27 pony hours of labor, for installing the new pieces.

Equestrian Rifle 2 (ER-2), "Mitchell"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Battle Rifle (Pegasi)
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official mark variations
	CALIBER:	9x35mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	10/20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	200 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	356mm/14 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	822mm/32.36 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	198mm/7 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	9.1lbs/4.1kg
Pegasi air support, the only thing available for the first 1/3rd of the war, required a special rifle. The standard Sherman had no way to be secured to a Pegasi during flight. So, a special stock and grip module was adapted. Shaped like a triangle, with the narrow point towards the bottom of the grip, the struts on the side allow a Pegasi to lay their entire foreleg into the stock, and strap it in place, so they can securely hold the weapon with just one foreleg while in flight. While handy, development of the Sherman's replacement rendered this solution obsolete.

Equestrian Rifle 4 (ER-4), "Bradley"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	II - Human/Canidan version
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	360mm/14.2 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	780mm/30.7 inches (stock extended) 728mm/28.6 inches (stock retracted)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	232mm/9.13 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7lbs/3.17kg
The Bradley is to Equestria, what the M4 Carbine is to Earth. Similar size (scaled), similar role, but with much higher striking power. NEIGHTO decided on a 7mm rifle round similar to the old British .280/30, which had been replicated in form and function many years later by the 6.8 SPC round, as its "do-all" round from the start. The 7mm NEIGHTO had all the power it needed to penetrate Porcine, light armor, and more, plus the round's superior ballistics meant it had an effective range envelope not only double that of a Sherman, but exceeding the likely range of engagement of infantry on Equus by about 100 meters.

Equestrian Rifle 5 (ER-5), "Grant"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	II* - Carbine EN-4 'Krueger'
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	364mm/14.3 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	810mm/31.9 inches (stock extended) 642mm/25.3 inches (stock retracted)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	198mm/7.79 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.8lbs/3.08kg
Equestria's last major firearm upgrade (as of 1005 C.S.), the Grant represents both an evolution of Equestria's arms industry, and of their military competency. The collapsible stock allows the weapon to be maneuvered in tighter spaces than the Bradley, while maintaining (even exceeding) the Bradley's mechanical precision. With the Buff & Lamb "Sharpsight" 4x Scope, it becomes a DMR, and with the longer barrel of the 'Krueger' variant, and a Buff & Lamb 1-6x "Swallowtail" scope, a precision rifle. The positioning of the bolt handle/assist towards the front of the rifle is also far more ergonomic for a Pony.

Equestrian Rifle 5 Mk II* (ER-5), "Grant Carbine"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of ER-5
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	250 meters

	OVERALL HEIGHT:	198mm/7.79 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	6.2lbs/2.8kg
The Carbine version of the Grant is designed to replace all sub-machine guns in front line service, just as the Gale is intended to replace sub-machine guns in special operations billets that need something of that size, that's also suppressed. The Grant Carbine is a very small package, and very easily handled.

The "Gale" carbine is silenced, and intended to be used by Paratroopers and Rangers, as well as any other Special Operations needs. The suppressor decreases the sound of the fired shot by over 73% over a bare muzzle, and while not exactly "whisper quiet," it was considered hearing safe. However, the 7-inch barrel does decrease the weapon's effective range.

Equestria's first dedicated sniper weapon system, the "Super Sherman" was never given its own name, and its round wasn't universally adoped by NEIGHTO, but it represented an increased lethality over the 7x40mm NEIGHTO round by a significant margin. With its Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer round, it could penetrate up to 12.5mm of standard armor steels at ranges up to 250 meters. With standard Sniper Ball rounds, it could engage point targets out to 800 meters by the average markspony - up to 1 kilometer for trained Unicorns. The standard scope was the same "Mark I* Sniper Scope" used experimentally on some standard Shermans, but this was later replaced with the "SU-2 Mk. I" or "Buff & Lamb Hawk's Eye" scope, a 30mm diopter, 2-6 power scope.

This large weapon fires the 11x66mm round, which, from a 19-inch barrel, can penetrate 12.7mm of mild steel with a standard AP round, and more with the APIT round. It's precise, robust, but quite heavy. Early war, they were equipped with updated Gem Scopes, but late war, the Buff & Lamb "Long-Hawk" 1-12x30mm scope. It can reach 1.2km under most circumstances.

Equestrian Sniper Rifle 3 (EN-3), "Bradley DMR"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Sharpshooter's Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of ER-4
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine

	OVERALL HEIGHT:	232mm/9.13 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.25lbs/3.28kg
The Bradley DMR is simply a Bradley with a scope and a 16.45-inch barrel. It serves as a sniper's or markspony's weapon in front line service until the introduction of the Grant/Gale/Kreuger series, whereafter it's assigned to Militia units, and other non-front-line units for the same purpose. In front line use, it was replaced by the Kreuger, and supplimented by the Super Sherman. When available, a Markspony could request either one.

	WEAPON TYPE:	Sharpshooter's Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of ER-5
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	20/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine

The EN-4 Krueger is, like the EN-3, a DMR variant of an existing rifle. While the EN-3 is simply a lengthened barreled version of the ER-4 Bradley, the EN-4 Krueger has a different buffer and forend, as well as a lengthened barrel. The barrel is also glass bedded under the handguard, for maximum precision.

Equestrian Sniper Rifle 5 (EN-5), "Sherman-Spencer"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Precision Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of ER-1

	TOTAL MASS:	9.35lbs/4.25kg
Finding the 9x48mm round unsuited to standardization, Equestria participated in the "NEIGHTO Light Sniper Standard" program, along with Neighpon, Germaneigh, Roam, and Ambleon. This program sought to make a single standard sniper rifle round across all NEIGHTO forces. The Germane 7mm W-Kugel round was used as a benchmark of bare minimum performance from this new caliber, but greater velocity and terminal energy was desired, along with better armor penetration using standard tool steel as the penetrator instead of exotic materials like Tungsten. The result was the 8x60mm round. To bring this round to the field, Equestria once again turned to the Sherman platform that they had so much experience with, creating yet another variant based on the design. The Spencer is the ultimate refinement of the Sherman as a sniper weapon system, with a built-in rear monopod, Buff & Lamb "Long Hawk" 1-12x30mm Scope, and a folding bipod based on the one used by the Pershing. The Spencer Rifle is named for General George E. Spencer, leader of a Union-loyal Alabama Cavalry Regiment during the Earth United States Civil War, who served under Sherman, keeping with the naming tradition of Equestrian Rifles.

Equestrian Sniper Rifle 5, Mark II (EN-5 Mk. II), "Sherman-Spencer Silenced Carbine"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Precision Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal, Manehattan Army Special Warfare Center
	VARIANT MARKS:	Variant of ER-1/EN-5
	CALIBER:	8x60mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	10/20 Round Detachable Box Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	900 meters (APIT) 1000 meters + (Sniper Load)
	BARREL LENGTH:	420mm/16.5 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	1016mm/40 inches (Stock Extended, w/Suppressor) 866mm/34 inches (Stock Retracted, w/Suppressor)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	220mm/8.66 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	10.47lbs/4.75kg
The "S3C" or "Seek" precision rifle blends the collapsing stock of the Grant/Gale series, with the frame of the Sherman-Spencer. The "Seek" is, without the mounted suppressor, only 880mm/34.6 inches long extended and 730mm/28.75 inches collapsed. That makes it almost as compact as a Bradley with the stock collapsed, making it incredibly handy (hoofy) to maneuver in tight quarters. It retains the precision of the original Sherman-Spencer, and both do have the ability to mount the suppressor shown here - the RubyTech SD-1. The SD-1 reduces the report of the weapon by 68db, down to 86db, or about as loud as a person or pony shouting at full lung volume. While this is not considered truly hearing safe, it's close enough so for combat operations or occasional exposure without some kind of hearing protection, if you're close to the business end of the weapon. Registered decibels at the user end of the weapon are around 83db, which, while not silent, are considered safe.

Equestrian Shotgun 1 (ES-1), "Chaffee"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Combat Shotgun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official mark variations
	CALIBER:	12 Gauge, 76mm/3 inch
	CAPACITY:	6 Shell Detachable Tube Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	50/120 meters (shell dependant)
	BARREL LENGTH:	457mm/18 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	800mm/31.5 inches (stock retracted) 876mm/34.5 inches (stock extended)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	118mm/4.65 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	8.2lbs/3.72kg
Combat shotguns aren't often used in Human warfare, but in Equestria, where most things are scaled to about 3/4ths of that of Earth, a Combat Shotgun with decent reach can be nearly as effective as a sub-machine gun, and certainly with more power. The Chaffee is deployed by Rangers, Engineers, and some Line Infantry formations. With Sabot Slugs, it has an effective range longer than a Zhukov, with slight armor penetration ability. The mechanism of the Chaffee is quite unusual. The barrel from which the projectiles are fired, is on the bottom. The magazine is on the top. Because hand-feeding shells in a combat situation for non-Unicorns is very difficult, it was decided that an ejecting magazine with an automatic bolt catch would be the only effective solution. The magazine, once inserted all the way, will retract the bolt, and load a live shell into the chamber.

Equestrian Shotgun 2 (ES-2), "Buckner"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Combat Shotgun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa & Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenals
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official mark variations
	CALIBER:	12 Gauge, 76mm/3 inch
	CAPACITY:	6 Shell Detachable Tube Magazine
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	50/120 meters (shell dependant)
	BARREL LENGTH:	457mm/18 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	770mm/30.3 inches (stock retracted) 890mm/35 inches (stock extended)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	180mm/7.1 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	8.2lbs/3.72kg
The evolved ES-2 is a real kicker, as it's smaller than the Chaffee, and about the same weight, using the same Ejecting Magazine mechanism (which is a NEIGHTO standard). It's more compact over all, and has superior handling. Manufacture of the Buckner was not a high priority item, so, they were mainly issued to new units being raised throughout the war, and eventually back-filled to other front line units. Very few ended up in Militia hands, but every Militia unit could count on getting a Chaffee at least. In addition, a new AP Flechette was developed for NEIGHTO Shotguns that can pierce 2cm of armor at 20 meters.

Equestrian Grenade Launcher 1 (EG-1), "Knox" ("Rifle Ordnance Projector")
	WEAPON TYPE:	Rifle-size Grenade Launcher
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestria Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	I - Prototype Only II - Production
	CALIBER:	40x50mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	1 Shell

	OVERALL HEIGHT:	264mm/10.4 inches (sight raised)
	TOTAL MASS:	5.95lbs/2.7kg
"Bloop Tubes" or "Wombat Guns" have been in inventory of Earth militaries since Earth Year 1960. Bridging the gap between Rifle Grenades and Mortars, they've become indispensible on Earth. On Equus, where nothing like that exists, the presence of Knox launchers in an Infantry team is worth its weight in gold. The two shells developed initially for it - the Time-Fused "GS-1" and Impact-Detonated "GS-2" - offered some anti-armor ability (up to 25mm at the right angle), but the blast fragmentation warheads also produced serious casualties within its 5 meter burst-fragmentation radius. General Staff Officer Pinkie Pie developed her own.. " "custom ordnance" " for this weapon. It was later supplimented with the Gavin, an under-barrel weapon for the Bradley, and the Cota, a stand-alone pistol version of the Gavin.

Equestrian Grenade Launcher 2 (EG-2), "Gavin" ("Underslung Ordnance Projector")
	WEAPON TYPE:	Rifle-Mounted Grenade Launcher
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestria Military Arsenal, Milan Army Ammunition Plant
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks
	CALIBER:	40x50mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	1 Shell
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	350 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	160mm/6.3 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	342mm/13.46 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	286mm/11.26 inches (sight raised)
	TOTAL MASS:	4.46lbs/2.02kg
Designed specifically to work with the Bradley, with the altered forward shroud, the Gavin adds about 3.7lbs to the weapon. This brings its total weight to just a bit heavier than a Sherman, for a WHOLE lot more options. Squad designated Grenadiers can lay down fire as fast as they can open the side-tilting barrel and breech, and feed it shells. This gives every Squad at least SOME anti-armor ability, and as proven in the Naval Battle of Neigha, the grenades are potent enough to seriously damage lightly armored naval vessels when used in massed groups.

Equestrian Ordnance Launcher 1 (EL-1), "Walker"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
	MANUFACTURERS:	Milan Army Ammunition Plant
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks
	CALIBER:	40/75mm
	CAPACITY:	1 Round
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	40 meters
	BARREL LENGTH:	840mm/33 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	840mm/33 inches (Unloaded)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	248mm/9.76 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7lbs/3.2kg
Developed after Chowsin Ridge, the short ranged Walker was only ever meant to be an interim solution, but it inspired the creation of several other launchers along the way. The basic layout is very similar to an RPG-7 from Earth. Its performance is a 30-40 meter range, the R-1 Rocket launches at 40 meters per second, and can penetrate up to 150mm (5.9-inches) of armor. Spring-loaded fins along the rocket's propellant tube, impart spin stabilization during flight. Sights are simple, mounted on top, and only meant to be used at close range.

Equestrian Ordnance Launcher 2 (EL-2), "Funston"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
	MANUFACTURERS:	Milan Army Ammunition Plant
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks

	OVERALL LENGTH:	840mm/33 inches (Unloaded)
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	248mm/9.76 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	7.7lbs/3.5kg
The Funston has much better range than the Walker, and the EL-2 launcher is slightly updated to fire this R-2 anti-armor rocket. The R-3 Blast Fragmentation rocket was also developed, for anti-personnel use.

Equestrian Machine Gun 1 (EM-1), "Pershing" [Mk. I to III]
	WEAPON TYPE:	General Purpose Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	I - Water Cooled II - Air Cooled III - Naval Mount
	CALIBER:	9x35mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	Fixed Cloth Belt-Fed, 50/120/240rd containers
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	200 meters (point target) - 600 meters (area target)
	BARREL LENGTH:	490mm/19.3 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	1052mm/41.4 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	282mm/11.1 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	22.2lbs/10.1kg (Water Cooled, Full Jacket) 19lbs/8.65kg (Air Cooled)
The amazing Pershing Machine Gun, a stalwart and shockingly long-lived addition to Equestria and, later, NEIGHTO arsenals, was originally conceived as a tripod-mounted, semi-fixed machine gun for defensive use only. However, it was quickly shown that an air cooled version would work just as well. Given its very tame rate of fire of only 480 rounds-per-minute, like the M1917 Browning on which it was spiritually based, barrel overheating isn't much of an issue. The Pershing was later modified to accept the NEIGHTO-standard 7x40mm round, and the same non-disintegrating metal linked belt of the Abrams/Merrill machine guns.

Equestrian Machine Gun 2 (EM-2), "Abrams"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Medium Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	Non-Disintegrating Metal Linked Belt, 50/120/240rd containers
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters (point target) - 800 meters (area target)
	BARREL LENGTH:	510mm/20.07 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	940mm/37 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	266mm/10.47 inches (120rd container)
	TOTAL MASS:	17.1lbs/7.75kg
Replacing the Pershing (more or less), the Abrams proved to be far handier, just as durable, and much harder hitting than the old water-cooled "Brass Belcher" that the Pershing was sometimes called. Just as much of a Force Multiplier, the Abrams is readily adaptable to multiple roles, with a mounting point in front of the forward grip area, and a matching detente in the back under the receiver that would allow it to be rapidly mounted to a Tripod, or with the forward catch alone, to numerous "semi-fixed" positions, sometimes found on naval vessels and other places.

Equestrian Machine Gun 3 (EM-3), "Merrill Commando"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Light/Commando Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Springfield Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official variant marks
	CALIBER:	7x40mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	Non-Disintegrating Metal Linked Belt, 50/120/240rd containers
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters (point target) - 800 meters (area target)
	BARREL LENGTH:	381mm/15 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	814mm/32.04 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	266mm/10.47 inches (120rd container)
	TOTAL MASS:	14.1lbs/6.39kg
For special operations missions, the Merrill was developed as a lighter weight and smaller alternative to the Abrams. Deleting the attachment points, the Merrill can really only be used like a rifle, but it does retain the "solid mounting" of the ammunition container that the Abrams has, meaning it doesn't really need a bipod with the 120-round container added.

Equestrian Machine Gun 4 (EM-4), "Browning"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Heavy Machine Gun
	MANUFACTURERS:	Appleloosa Equestrian Military Arsenal
	VARIANT MARKS:	None
	CALIBER:	11x66mm NEIGHTO
	CAPACITY:	Non-Disintegrating Metal Linked Belt (100/200 round belts standard)
	EFFECTIVE RANGE:	400 meters (point target) - 1200 meters (area target)
	BARREL LENGTH:	650mm/25.6 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	1014mm/39.9 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	150mm/5.9 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	84lbs/38kg
The most widely produced heavy machine gun in the war, the EM-4 Browning was produced by the Neigtherlands, Germaneigh, Navarre, and Canida locally, while the Prench and Ambleion went with local designs. The EM-4 and its belt became a defacto standard within NEIGHTO, to the point where even the Prench and Ambleonian designs used the same pawl feed mechanism. The firepower of the 11mm round is incredible, with loadings for armor penetration, precision, solid brass rounds, and even armor piercing incendiary tracers.

Experimental Rifle 3 (XER-3), "Patton"
	WEAPON TYPE:	Assault Rifle
	MANUFACTURERS:	Manehattan Army Special Warfare Center
	VARIANT MARKS:	No official mark variations, not accepted for service
	CALIBER:	6.5x30mm Equestrian
	CAPACITY:	15/30 Round Detachable Box Magazine

	BARREL LENGTH:	320mm/12.6 inches
	OVERALL LENGTH:	800mm/31.5 inches
	OVERALL HEIGHT:	220mm/8.66 inches
	TOTAL MASS:	8.97lbs/4.06kg
The Patton was never really up to the task demanded of it. A major reason lie in the locally "enhanced" powders - Equestrian chemists simply could not reformulate the existing gunpowder formula into an effective rifle powder. While the Patton did have better range than the Sherman, and slightly higher terminal ballistic performance (very similar to the Earth ".25-20 Winchester" caliber in both velocity and muzzle energy), it simply was not ready for Prime Time. It was very quickly replaced, and was never officially adopted. However! The rifle's design would go on to inspire two other primary rifles of major nations, and rearsenalled Pattons would be given as War Aid, mainly to Prance, who would adapt them to the 7mm NEIGHTO round.
