Earth Federation Infantry

The Earth Federation army has outdated technology ranging from service pistols to the old M-72 assault rifle, but the army is quite the largest branch in the Earth Federation. The M-72 uses 5.56mm bullets and with its bullpup design it can be a very accurate weapon in the hands of a skilled soldier, but the weapon comes close to the stopping power and range of Zeons AK-74. Some infantry in the EFA wear armored vests or carry backpacks full of equipment for long term operations. Support gunners carry the M-60 or in some cases a M249-SAW, but the role of a support gunner is to give covering fire or suppress enemy positions.
