History

As the Abwehran Star Empire began to expand out into the galaxy, they began to realize that their military's Beschützer Series Mass-Driver Rifle was quickly becoming obsolete with age. This especially became apparent after their contact with Origin Industries. In order to keep their place as the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF) military supplier, Kaiserlich Waffenerbauer requested aid from Kaiserlich F&E to design a reliable and effective mass driver rifle.

In the mid-Second quarter of AF 260 (YE 32), Kaiserlich Waffenerbauer came out with two attachments for their new MDR-06 Field Rifle. The 30mm Under-slung Grenade Launcher was created to give Light Infantry a much needed punch when the situation got dire. Able to carry a magazine of 4 grenade rounds, a infantryman could empty the entire magazine in just under two minutes if needed.
