United Earth Assault Rifle 2277

''"Adapted from the designs of several of the more popular pre-invasion assault rifles, the United Earth Assault Rifle 2277 model is perhaps the finest ever designed. Its light weight, low recoil, high accuracy, high rate of fire and lack of complex moving parts have made it the obvious – and, in fact, only – choice for the UEN’s standard armament.

Unfortunately, it pales in comparison to Hybrid photon energy emitters, but as far as chemically-propelled projectile weapons go, there has never been one better. "'' - Dr. Daniel Hunter, UEN Science Team

The UEAR-77, or Standard Rifle, is the default rifle for General Dem, and the weapon of choice by the UEN. It does low damage, but reasonable rate of fire, and unlimited ammo. In the case of prolonged use, it overheats, rendering its accuracy terrible. Backup is almost always required if the UEAR-77 is used, as while it may be effective against a single Human Thrall, the user will be quickly overwhelmed if confronting an entire squad. It is one of five weapons in the arsenal of General Dem.
