The Federated-Barrett M42B Rifle System is a high-tech ballistic rifle combat system produced by Federated-Barrett, a subsidiary of Federated Industries and the primary small-arms supplier for the Federated Suns . Designed to be the company's replacement for the venerable Federated Long Rifle , the M42B can be modified into three different weapons with a simple four-kilogram modification kit.In its standard rifle mode the M42B functions like a traditional projectile rifle with an under slung Compact Grenade Launcher and detachable five-round magazine. In a matter of moments it can be turned into a light machine gun with the addition of a heavier barrel, bipod and high-capacity linkless-feed ammo drum, or a special-operations close-combat rifle by swapping in a shorter barrel fitted with a Sound and Flash Suppressor . All three versions of the M42B also feature a built-in Laser Sight .[1]

There are no cannon images of the M42B so I decide to make one. Given the Battletech universe features AR-15 variants from the Federated Long rifle looking like an M16A2 with a custom butt stock and then the 13mm Zeus looks like a M16A1 with AK47 stock . Hell the Mauser Laser Assault rifle of the Star League Defense Force infantry looks like an AR-15. There are Particle Projector cannons that look like AR-15s. So in keeping with the Great House of the Inner Sphere I modified my own AR15s and made what I feel is a proper image for the good old fashioned ballistic rifle of the Federated Commonwealth the M42B Rifle System. Similar to the Long rifle so troops will be familiar with it in combat and the production lines can easily switch from the Long Rifle to the M42B I made an AR15 decendant. This unit uses a full Short stroke Gas Piston reducing the recoil effect when fired and giving the Rifle a longer combat run time than the previous Long Rifle. The two guns you see here are the Carbine version for close combat and the Light Machine Gun Varriant. Hey there InMediaRes Productions I hope you like what you see! As for that 4 kilogram (8lbs) conversion kit I wish I had one of those my gear to modify my own AR15 is a going 10 kilograms or 22lbs.
