1)NAC uses it.	Probably so do most of the major
powers, but their weapons are not detailed to the
level that the NAC rifle is in the back of the book.  

2)I can make up all the details I want about NRE stuff
(caliber, magazine size, whether it has a builtin
bipod etc) because it's mine.  I won't do it for
everyone.

3)It's effects are below the granularity of SGII.

4)It's a link to the HUD in the helmet.

None of those weapons are out there AFAIK.  IF uses
mostly obsolete ESU stuff, according to the writeups
on stargrunt.ca.  The only stuff I made up myself are
Roman and the obsolscent weapons I used to equip the
merc units I sent you.	And not even all of those,
since I no longer have a copy of most of the merc
units I sent you (hard drive suicide).	BTW, could you
send me a copy of those messages?

Not to within the granularity of SGII.	:)

Havn't seen the stats or designation anywhere.

Again, neither the stats nor the designation are
anywhere on the Net AFAIK.  I'm always ready to stand
corrected should it be necessary.
