Lancer Assault Rifle

The Lancer Assault Rifle is the main primary firearm used by the COG Army. Every soldier is equipped with the rifle, and it has been in use for over 50 years with minimal changes. The gun works it's finest at medium range, but well-timed bursts and active reloads give the gun almost universal range. The Lancer features a chainsaw bayonet, which gurantees a kill, and is very useful against Sires that lurk in the New Hope Research Facility. The Lancer is a very reliable weapon, and has built itself a reputation for being very versatile at the same time. It maintains low recoil regardless of fire rate, and holds an incredible 660 rounds maximum with 60 rounds per clip. Like the Gnasher shotgun, the Lancer is also commonly used by the Locust. Cyclops favor the weapon more than others, and are known to make considerable use of the Chainsaw Bayonet. The COG have created a very powerful weapon by developing the Lancer, but they must be ready to face their own guns around every corner, including chainsaw bayonets.

Gnasher Shotgun

The Gnasher shotgun is an essential firearm developed and used by the COG. The gnasher is incredibly useful at close range and is known to blow enemies apart when correctly aimed. The weapon holds 8 shells per load, and is a lever-action weapon. The Gnasher has tremendous stopping power that slows down an approaching enemy with every shot. The weapon encourages enemies to keep their distance, however it may inspire more ambitious enemies to charge at you with their own shotgun. The Gnasher combined with cover gives the enemy a deadly surprise if users can time it correctly. While the COG make great use of this weapon, unfortunately the Locust Horde does as well. They are known to salvage the weapons and extra ammunition from fallen soldiers and use them against their creators. The Gnasher was the only shotgun available to the COG until the recent Sawed-Off Shotgun was manufactured and distributed. Both weapons are close-range, but the Gnasher has the longer range of the two. The gnasher is extremely powerful in very tight firefights, as there have been reports it can eliminate more than one enemy with a single well-aimed shot. The Gnasher takes full-advantage of the Active Reload System, providing a bloody but satisfying reward for those with the coordination and patience to perform a perfect reload.
