M3A5 Spook Rifle

The M3A5 Spook Rifle is the standard issue rifle of the organized resistance. It is featured throughout The Kramer Apocalypse.

Development
Development of the Spook Rifle begins when NATO issues a contract for a universal battle rifle that is both versatile and cheap. Nikitotele Defense wins the contract with their A3105 Automatic Rifle prototype. The A3105 is an ambidextrous assault rifle featuring a groundbreaking design of its chamber. The rifle can be adjusted to chamber multiple sized rounds between 5.56x39mm NATO and 8x40mm KSU. The following design, designated A3205, includes a recoil driven magnified red dot optic scope and a built in flashlight.

Variations
Many different variations of the Spook Rifle are seen throughout The Kramer Apocalypse. The most common is the M3A5 (Nikitotele A3205 variation) though the A3105 version is occasionally seen. The M3A6 Spook Blaster is developed by resistance machinists for space use. New specifications for the Spook Blaster include unique chambering to a modified airtight 8x40mm KSU round and a kick-out feature to project shells during cycling. The XM-3K version of the rifle is developed during Kramer Apoc: 3 by The Highwaymen and used during the Battle of Forrester. The M3A6 variation is developed and issued to New World Coalition Forces during Kramer Apoc: Aftermath. The M3A7 features an adjustable stock, a revised gas blowback system, and a three round burst selectable fire rate. Ergonomic changes are also made to the Spook Rifle design.

Kramer Apoc: Origins
When NATO realizes the dominating threat of the new Kramer Regime, an order is placed for a new standard issue rifle to be issued to the remaining armies of the free world. Millions of units are built and shipped to the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Portugal, France, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Palestine, Pakistan, Nationalist Russia and other countries standing against Kramer.

The Kramer Apocalypse
Due to the abundance of rifles issued before VE-Day, the M3A5 Spook Rifle becomes standard issue to F.A.R.K. forces. It sees service across all campaigns including The Battle for the Moon until its official decommission and replacement after the events of Kramer Apoc: Aftermath.
