M4A3 SERVICE PISTOL
The Armat M4A3 Service Pistol (also known simply as the Service Pistol) is an American-made semi-automatic, recoil operated, magazine-fed pistol chambered for 9mm ammunition. It was notably employed by the United States Colonial Marine Corps as their standard issue sidearm. The M4A3 is part of the M4 family of handguns and was succeeded by the upgraded M4A4.
The M4A3 is a 9mm automatic, recoil operated, magazine-fed handgun. Coming with a notch and post iron sight, the working mechanism is made of steel alloy with some high-strength plastic parts, while the outer casing is machined from lightweight alloys. The entire weapon, including a full 12-round magazine, weighs no more than 0.95 kg. The M4A3 is largely a last resort weapon, but it can be overpowered with M901 Armor-Piercing Round or the A27 High Velocity Round giving it more punch. The M4A3 can also be equipped with a A7 Sound Suppressor for stealth operations or cover ops or an Armat Laser Targeting System for more precision.
The M4A3 was known to be the standard sidearm of the Colonial Marines soldiers, medics and Synthetics since the 2120s, but in the 2170s the VP70MA6, only available to officer until then, began to slowly replace the outdated M4A3. Weyland-Yutani also equipped some of its forces with the M4A3. At can also be acquired by civilians, corporates, pilots, Colonial Marshals and Mercenaries.
