M-8 Avenger

The M-8 Avenger was a fully-automatic assault rifle manufactured by Elkoss Combine.

It was described as both accurate and having low recoil, and its thermal clip capacity allowed it to fire forty rounds before being reloaded.

By the year 2185, it had come into popular usage in the galaxy, and was employed by both soldiers and mercenaries alike.
