CCA-794B General Purpose Machine Gun
The CCA-794B is a modified version of the Land Combat Force's CCA-860 that is designed to give Marines the ability to lay down heavy suppressive fire during boarding, or to take out targets that require more firepower than an assault rifle can provide. The 794B fires a smaller round than the 860, making the weapon lighter and able to hold more ammunition; both invaluable traits for ship-boarding operations. In addition, numerous parts that are made of metal on the 860 are constructed from nanocarbon polymers on the 794B, and the stock has been redesigned to be nearly 15 inches shorter, making the weapon more maneuverable.
The body of the 794B is constructed of lightweight nanocarbon polymers reinforced with titanium threads, while the barrel and magnetic loading mechanism are constructed of Titanium-V alloy. These materials were formulated to be lightweight yet extremely durable, and to resist all sorts of extreme conditions. In addition, the Titanium-V that makes up the internal mechanics and the barrel is coated with a thin layer of nanites that produce a constant synthetic lubricant, all but removing the need for manual lubrication and cutting down on maintenance costs and frequency. The trigger mechanism, magazines, and forward grips are all made from nanocarbon polymers as well, rather than the Titanium-V found in the 860.
The 794B features several unique technologies, including recoil-absorbing gel-springs in the stock, an adaptive nanopaint that can change pattern to match surrounding camouflage, and a built in holoscreen that displays ammo count, and battery charge. A built-in rangefinder/scanner and laser sight are mounted directly under the barrel, and coordinates with the gun's computer to modify how powerful of a shot is needed to reach the target. The 794B is equipped with a default holographic sight that locates and highlights targets for the shooter. The barrel is hooked up to a kinetic energy generator, and as it reciprocates, it generates and electric charge that can recharge the gun's on-board battery. Due to the weapon's high rate of fire and resulting high levels of power consumption, this system is needed to keep the battery from dying prematurely on the battlefield. A bipod is built into the front of the gun, and can be deployed and retracted either manually or at the push of a button.
The weapon is capable of accepting numerous sizes of magazines; drum magazines that come in 65, 70, and 80 round capacities, all of which hold 7.94x60mm caseless rounds. These are fired via electronic charge rather than a chemical reaction, allowing the weapon to be fire in the vacuum of space. This firing mechanism also allows the power of each shot to be adjusted; for instance, when facing armored opponents, the shot power is increase, while the power is decreased when facing non-armored enemies. The determination of what power is needed is made by the forward scanner mounted next to the barrel. The power of the shots is further altered via four magnetic rails that line the barrel, capable of speeding up or slowing down the bullet as it passes through.
