The NM149 is a 7.62x51mm Norwegian made snipers rifle based on the Mauser M98 action and modyfied to take detachable 5 round magazines, flash suppressor and bipod mount. It weighed 5,6kg and had a length of 115cm. It was introduced into the Norwegian army in 1985 to replace the aging and outdated M/59F1 snipers rifle. The NM149 was produced by Våpensmia A/S and outfitted with a Schmidt und Bender 6x42 optic. It has now been replaced by The Heckler & Koch HK417, but still sees some minor use in the Home Guard.

The T24 machinegun. Reverse engineered by the Allies during the second world war after capturing several German MG42s. It was eventually abandoned because of the caliber conversion from 7.92x57mm Mauser to 30-06 (7.62x63mm) was causing a lot of headspacing problems.

Upgrades include: New safety that let’s the operator put the weapon on safe when the bolt is in the forward position. Carrying handle. Picatinny rails for optics, flashlights or lasers. Adjustible ergonomic buttstock.
