The AR-10 Autorifle is the main weapon of the Regular Army and the Amadeus Syndicate.
Information[]
The rifle itself is not out of the ordinary, using the standard 7.62mm rounds available. It is equipped with a grenade launcher below the barrel, providing it with the ability to use different projectiles of different sizes.
Every special weapon, except for the Zantetsu Sword and the Two Machine Guns, is fired from the AR-10.
Trivia[]
- The AR-10 and the M60 are the only real modern firearms in the Rebel Infantry (as opposed to their weird mix of German WWII rifles and futuristic Weapons).
- The AR-10 is based on the Howa Type 64 and the M16 rifle, with an M203-like grenade launcher. The rifle also takes influence from the FN FAL and the AR-16/AR-18.
- Although there is a real life design of the same name yet is quite different from the one in the games.
- Concept art for the various special weapons each show a crate containing what appears to be a barrel attachment for the AR-10. It can be assumed that the barrel of the AR-10 is interchangeable, granting the AR-10 extreme versatility as well as explaining why almost all of the special weapons are fired out of the AR-10.
- In Metal Slug 3D, the Shotgun is depicted as an AR-10. Because of this, female members such as Eri and Fio can use it.
