Graeme Rodaughan:
Putting this leading question out there ... what are all the weapons used in the Metaframe War series? Could you do a list?
Graeme Rodaughan
As follows.
All the guns are based on current weapons. The Mirovar team often use the FN P90 which suits a modern vampire hunter with it's compact style that can be hidden beneath a long coat... REF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd3-v... you'll also see this weapon used in the Stargate TV show or any show looking for a near-term futuristic look and feel.
The railguns used on the Commander Tank, Specter and Nemesis defense towers are a thing. REF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i737r... This video is very 'rah rah,' but it captures the concept well.
The small flying bots in the storm drains of The Day Guard are based one of the more depressing uses of advanced technology - micro-kill-bots - not kidding, and probably quite easy to build.

Nightfalcons are evolved from the Blackhawk. REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsk...
They are armed with Hellfire III and Stinger II missiles evolved from the current versions.
Hellfire: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-114...
Stinger: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIM-92_...
The Blackwidows are evolved variants of the Apache attack helicopter: REF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_...
Assault rifles are often H&K 416 or their larger caliber 417 versions. REF: https://www.heckler-koch.com/en/produ...
Miniguns are typically variants on the Dillon Aero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minigun
MRAPS: Are based on the Australian Hawkei vehicle: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkei
APCs: Typically wheeled versions based on the Australian Bushmaster: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmas...
The Commander Tank has no current analogue.
The Spike 512 is a thing: REF: https://www.spikeaerospace.com/s-512-...
Hypersonics are a thing, including the Scimitar engine used in the Shadowstar drones: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactio...
Multi-grenade launchers have been around for a while: REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor_MGL
