N4A Alpha Assault Rifle

High performance assault rifle used by the Kuat Consortium, and widely used by special forces and armies willing to spend the money. This is Kuat's top-of-the-line rifle. It incorporates integral recoil reduction, laser rangefinder, folding bipod, and adjustable grips and finish. This highly flexible weapon can, with easy swapping of parts, fulfill roles as as service rifle, a compact carbine, an automatic squad support LMG, or even a long range "sharpshooter" variant. It also has an under-barrel grenade launcher.

Some have derided the N4A as too complicated, preferring instead the N4B Bravo Assault Rifle or any of the offerings by Saeder-Krupp subsidiary Mossberg. All of this bling also tends to make the N4A a bit heavy, and the frontsoldaten who have to carry the damned thing around aren't necessarily happy with a bunch of extra bells and whistles they don't need.
