This is an assault rifle intended to replace the M1V and currently in use by IPG forces. Its original designation was the IPG-M2V. The M2 was made the standard assault rifle for all SMDIoN services in YE 34.

In YE 34, experiments were carried out on the platform with a new rifle round and found to be more effective. As a result, NAM began retrofitting all existing M2V platforms to accept the 6.8x43mm round for use with all branches of the SMDIoN.

The rifle was redesigned as part of an effort by the SMDIoN to streamline Nepleslian logistics. Since the existing IAW Rifle Kit was chambered for a Zen 6.56mm round, and the company expressed no interest in the new NAM round, work began to retrofit the M2 for general service use. A laser designator was added under the barrel and is powered, along with all other electronic attachments, by a small battery. It comes standard with an attachable flash suppressor/silencer. Little else was changed except what was needed to accept the new 6.8mm round.

The M2V comes with a built in digital telescopic red dot sight that can be flipped between the top, to use in conjunction with the optional holographic sight, or the side to use separately for long distance shooting. There is also an optional top, front mounted holographic sight for closer targets. The M2V is a fairly ordinary looking assault rifle, with the magazine well located in front of the pistol grip. It is black and grey with an extendable stock. It also features an optional cheek plate that can be installed on either side to suit the user.

In gas-operation, a portion of high-pressure gas from the cartridge being fired is used to power a mechanism to extract the spent case and chamber a new cartridge. Energy from the gas is harnessed through either a port in the barrel or trap at the muzzle. This high-pressure gas impinges on a surface such as a piston head to provide motion for unlocking of the action, extraction of the spent case, ejection, cocking of the hammer or striker, chambering of a fresh cartridge, and locking of the action.
