Design details[edit]

It fires six-hundred .75 caliber rounds per minute, from a fifty-two round magazine as its primary fire.
The under-barrel grenade launcher holds seven M-class ultra-high yield grenade cartridges.[1]
Legacy[edit]
The M-75 was taken by Durandal on his departure from the Tau Ceti system and improved by his S'pht allies. Considered "a ridiculous toy designed to impress aging pompous generals", Durandal's MA-75B was meant to address the lacking accuracy and recoil that defined its predecessor.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
