MA7 ICWS Series

The MA7 ICWS Series is a small family of assault rifles manufactured by Misriah Armory. Building off the successes of the MA5 ICWS Series, the MA7 is both a traditional ICWS weapon combined with several other features missed in rifles of the previous series.

Design
The MA7 is designed with both smart-scoping features as well as a physical scope. It also prominently features an under-barrel grenade launcher, something heavily requested by troops in the MA5 series.

History
Hoping to build upon the lessons learned from the Human-Covenant War, and slowly restart the economy, the UNSC began tendering for a new assault rifle for general service. The MA7 ICWS was Misriah Armory's submission. It was designed over three years and tested in-house for another two, with another two years of testing with the UNSC. It would finally undergo its first field tests during Operation: RUPTURED CRUCIBLE in 2560.
