MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System

The MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System (abbreviated MA37 ICWS or MA37 Assault Rifle), or more formally the Individual Combat Weapon System, Caliber 7.62 mm, MA37, also known as the  by the UNSC Marines and Navy, is a standard-issue service rifle of the United Nations Space Command. It was first introduced in 2437, and has remained as the primary service rifle of all branches of the UNSC ever since.

Design Details
The MA37 is a reliable air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, fully-automatic bullpup rifle that fires 32 rounds of 7.62x51mm ammunition. It possesses a built-in ammuntion indicator and magnetic compass for orientation similar to that of all other MA5 series rifles. It has a high rate of fire, but due to its inaccuracy, it is highly ineffective at long ranges and inflicts low damage against energy shields.

The MA37 ICWS is a great close to medium range weapon. It is most effectively used for fully automatic sustained fire at close range, or by using short, controlled bursts at medium range, for some accuracy. It is a balanced weapon that can be used effectively in the hands of a skilled trooper.
