Forum:Avenger rifles manufacturer?

It's clear that manufacturer of Avenger rifles is Elkoss Combine, but isn't that the same Volus manufacturer which makes, essentually, cheaper versions of weapons already available? Wasn't it described in one novel at some point, that the buttstock of the rifle bent out of shape when Kahlee Sanders bashed a Cerberus's solder head in with it?

So how come that it's this particular brand of rifles being used, which are essentually copies of actual Avenger rifles made by H&K, instead of actual H&K Avengers or whatever else?

Apologies if it was already asked before, or if I made a mistake and it was not Elkoss' rifle in the novel mentioned. Eudaimonium (talk)
