Special Weapons of the Iron Eclipse AU

The AR-10 Autorifle, standard-issue for both the Regular Army and Amadeus Syndicate, chambers 7.62mm ammunition. It features an integrated grenade launcher mounted beneath the barrel, granting versatility through its dual capability for precision gunfire and explosive ordnance. Its design draws inspiration from the Japanese Type 64 Rifle, incorporating an M203-style grenade launcher and borrowing elements from the U.S. military's M16 rifle.

The Morden M60 is a 7.62mm machine gun reserved for high-ranking officials within the Rebel Army, capable of firing multiple shoots in controlled bursts. Only two variants are known to exist: the M240 Bravo Machine Gun, distinguished by its swift and silent operation; and the RA240 Machine Gun, a modified version employed by the Regular Army. The RA240 Machine Gun features a Lewis MG-style buttstock, trading some speed and stealth for increased reliability.

The Hexagon Arms M-3685 is a 9mm submachine gun modelled after the Heckler & Koch MP5, featuring a distinctive design element: a built-in tool within its grip that allows for easy adjustment of the front sight. The firearm was crafted by Tarma Roving as a gift to Fio Germi following the Extraterrestrial Alliance Clash, with the primary intention of enhancing her battlefield protection. However, upon taking notice of its potential, the Regular Army secured Tarma's permission to mass-produce the design for their troops.

The HV-01 Heavy Machine Gun, commonly referred to as the Heavy Machine Gun, is a common special weapon firing 7.62mm FMJ rounds compatible with most automatic firearms on the battlefield. Despite sharing comparable firepower with handguns wielded by elite units like the Peregrine Falcons Squad, S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., and Ikari Warriors, its exceptional fire rate makes it one of the deadliest weapons available. It has a magazine capacity of 200-300 rounds, and it resembles the Heavy Machine Gun that Marco uses in Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum.

The RK-02 Light Anti-Armour Rocket Launcher, commonly referred to as the Rocket Launcher, fires small, slow-moving rockets. These rockets lack the penetration power to defeat heavy armour but are highly explosive and effective against infantry formations. The rockets have a proximity fuzing capability, homing in on nearby targets before exploding on contact. It resembles the Rocket Launcher depicted in Metal Slug 3D.

The FS-03, commonly referred to as the Flame Shot, is a powerful incendiary weapon that unleashes a large blast of flame travelling in a shallow parabolic trajectory when fired horizontally, with significantly increased range when fired upward and reduced range when fired downward. It excels at taking out large groups of infantry with a single shot, but its effectiveness is hindered by limited range and a slow fire rate. At close range, it can severely damage vehicles and instantly incinerate personnel, though its potency decreases with distance. It has a 30-round ammo capacity and features a toggle switch allowing users to alternate between two firing modes: large blasts for high damage and fireballs that cover a wider range but deal relatively low damage. Its design bears a striking resemblance to the Flame Shot featured in Metal Slug 3D.

The SG-04, commonly referred to as the Shotgun, fires 12-gauge rounds loaded with metallic BB pellets, delivering devastating effectiveness at point-blank range. However, the BBs rapidly lose velocity over short distances, rendering them harmless beyond 6 ft (182.88 cm). Despite its limited 30-round magazine capacity, the SG-04 packs immense power, capable of annihilating clusters of infantry with a single blast and effortlessly disabling vehicles with just a few well-placed shots. It resembles the Shotgun depicted in Metal Slug 3D.

The LS-05, commonly referred to as the Laser Gun, emits a concentrated stream of energy in the form of a multicoloured beam. This intense energy focal point can slice through tank armour and annihilate enemy infantry with ease. While incredibly powerful, the weapon's high energy consumption leads to rapid ammo depletion. It has a moderate ammo capacity of 200-400 rounds. Its design bears a striking resemblance to the Laser Gun featured in Metal Slug 3D.

The EC-06, commonly known as the Enemy Chaser, is a specialised Rocket Launcher that prioritises advanced guidance over agility and raw firepower. Its enhanced homing system and increased ammo capacity of 40 rounds make it an invaluable asset for land troops in anti-aircraft operations. Although not foolproof, the homing capability significantly improves targeting accuracy. Once launched, the missiles automatically enter homing mode, locking onto the nearest enemies. A notable feature is the independent homing mechanism for each missile, enabling rapid-fire barrages. The weapon was initially conceived by Tarma Roving, who improvised its design after his Rocket Launcher malfunctioned during a critical mission against a Southern European terrorist group. Its effectiveness led to its subsequent adoption by the Regular Army. Its design bears a striking resemblance to the Enemy Chaser featured in Metal Slug 3D.

The SPG-07, affectionately known as the Super Grenade, is a Rocket Launcher variant that unleashes powerful RPGs with increased range. While its explosive payload can swiftly obliterate targets, its smoothbore design prohibits piercing thick armour. The RPGs travel swiftly, generating a massive blast radius capable of annihilating multiple targets. To balance its destructive potential, it has limited ammo reserves, allowing only two RPGs to be fired at a time. Its overall capacity is 10-20 rounds. Notably, its design bears resemblance to the Super Grenade from Metal Slug 3D.

The DS-09, commonly referred to as the Drop Shot, is a modified Rocket Launcher that fires bouncing landmines. These landmines bounce until they hit a target or lose momentum and stop moving. It’s effective against infantry, particularly those hiding in cover, but it lacks the power to easily damage armoured vehicles. The bouncing landmines have a limited range and are affected by the terrain's geography. As a result, soldiers must pay close attention to their environment to use the weapon effectively. Many soldiers dislike it due to its slow firing speed and horizontal movement, making it more suitable as a situational weapon. Its potential for being cumbersome and dangerous in various situations, along with its limited effectiveness in certain terrains, also contribute to its rare usage in the Regular Army. However, a small number of individuals have successfully leveraged its potential, often by modifying the bouncing landmines or combining them with existing weapons.

The SR-001 Iron Lizard, commonly referred to as the Iron Lizard, deploys remote-controlled, unmanned vehicles designed to engage targets with high lethality. These vehicles excel in anti-personnel roles, utilising special warheads filled with combustible chemicals. However, they are ineffective against armoured targets and aircraft. Once deployed, the vehicle-like missiles traverse the terrain until they detect a target, then detonate in a cloud of blue smoke, potentially taking out multiple enemies beyond the initial point of contact. Many people underestimate this weapon, thinking it's a joke due to its unusual ammunition, which oddly combines elements of RC toy cars with explosive missiles. It resembles the Iron Lizard depicted in Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum.

The TSG-002, commonly referred to as the Thunder Shot, is a modified Laser Gun that emits a powerful electrical pulse, automatically targeting enemies with near-instantaneous hits. This pulse can pierce armour and strike multiple targets simultaneously with a single shot. Boasting a 20-round ammo capacity, its capabilities make it an invaluable asset. However, its homing capabilities are inconsistent, often struggling to engage multiple enemies across varying elevations. Initially designed by Tarma Roving and Hyakutaro Ichimonji to rapidly disable technological devices from a distance, its effectiveness led to swift adoption by the Regular Army.

The Double-Barrel Heavy Machine Guns, commonly referred to as the Two Machine Guns, are a unique submachine gun variant inspired by the Heavy Machine Gun. Modelled after the MAC-10, these twin guns offer an impressive 300-round ammo capacity. They strike a balance between range, firepower, and mobility, surpassing pistols and heavy machine guns in versatility. While ideal for long-range combat, they lack the arcing trajectory of traditional Heavy Machine Guns. However, their dual-barrel design significantly increases their rate of fire, but it can rapidly deplete ammo reserves.

The Zantetsu Sword is a blade infused with iron-cutting energy that releases potent waves upon each swing. These energy waves are capable of annihilating clusters of infantry, deflecting incoming bullets, and even disabling armoured vehicles. However, its effectiveness is tempered by its limited range and restrictive aiming capabilities, preventing vertical targeting. During Ralf Jones' expedition to the Oro Sol Ruins, he caught the attention of Sol Dae Rokker, who was moved by his reverence for the ancient site. As a token of respect for Ralf's restraint in not ravaging the ruins, Sol Dae Rokker imbued a deceased archaeologist’s Hori Hori knife with bluish-white energy and presented it to him.

The Hori Hori knife’s extraordinary properties eventually caught the attention of the Regular Army, which successfully replicated its unique attributes and began mass-producing the design. Those used by the Regular Army resemble standard military-issued combat knives, which bear a resemblance to the Combat Knife in Metal Slug 3D.

The AA Machine Gun Turret is a stationary .50-calibre anti-aircraft machine gun primarily used by the Regular Army, and occasionally utilised by the Rebel Army. It fires a continuous stream of light armour-piercing rounds at a high rate of fire. Those with a prominent blue sheen are designed for marine purposes, while ones with a green-tinted silver finish are intended for land-based applications.

The Thunder Cloud is a highly classified, cutting-edge weapon system that utilises an oblong canister loaded with nanobots. These nanobots generate an artificial thundercloud imbued with negatively charged electromagnetic energy. Once deployed, it autonomously targets the nearest adversary, hovering above and unleashing lightning bolts with pinpoint accuracy. The cloud's energy reserve supports 30 to 50 high-energy strikes before dissipating.

The Mobile Satellite, or MOBS for short, is a highly classified, miniature hovering drone resembling a satellite. Equipped with an advanced radar system and an ion cannon, it autonomously tracks and engages targets, firing continuous ion bolts until destruction or depletion. Its energy reserve supports up to 200 ion bolts, after which the device's power source is exhausted, causing it to plummet and self-destruct.

The Grenade Gun is a modified Rocket Launcher, capable of propelling grenades over extended distances of 10 to 15 feet (304.8 cm to 457.2 cm).

The Missile Pod launches five small, high-velocity homing missiles that automatically acquire and track nearby targets. Its wide area coverage and high damage output make it effective against land troops, smaller aircraft, and combat vehicles.

The Fire Gun is a modified Flame Shot that emits a continuous, adjustable stream of flames that can be directed and arced by adjusting the gun's orientation.

The Bazooka fires a single, high-explosive shell that detonates upon impact, unleashing a devastating, fiery blast that damages and incapacitates nearby targets. It closely resembles the American FIM-92 Stinger man-portable surface-to-air missile launcher.

The Gatling Shot is a large, rapid-firing, multiple-barrel firearm that fires 7.62mm FMJ rounds, identical to those used by heavy machine guns. Its heavy weight and high ammunition capacity (holding up to 500 rounds) are balanced by its rapid rate of fire, which depletes ammunition quickly. As a result, it’s typically reserved for specific situations, such as crowd control. It resembles the Gatling Shot depicted in Metal Slug Attack and Metal Slug: Commander.
