MM-408 Assault Rifle
The MM-408 was designed as an affordable alternative to the original MM-400 assault rifle (the initials stand for the manufacturer, Meridian Moon, and ‘408’ signifies the company’s 400-series).
The MM-408 removed several features found in previous models to reduce production cost but, in doing so, proved less appealing to military organizations and private security contractors. Instead, the MM-408’s popularity has grown in third-world countries, finding heavy use in terrorist organizations and revolutionary movements.
Using the 5.45x39mm cartridge, the MM-408 rifle features semi-automatic and fully-automatic firing, along with a burst-fire option. Instead of a three-round burst, the MM-408 fires two rounds in rapid succession.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, she’s a slippery one, that gal is!
I’m freaking loving this comic. The art style’s great and the story has a very cool spy/thriller/Metal Gear vibe.
If you reallywant to cut production costs, drop the ‘burst’ setting, that saves tooling a lot of small parts and fitting them in.
The chances of a failure to fire go up with the number of parts involved.
Are ya saying that “burst” fire requires more parts than “full_auto”?
