Designed by Arbacki Technologies Limited and manufactured a select few companies, the 884bp is an advanced marksman-oriented assault rifle introduced in 3543 CE. Its bullpup allows for an extra long barrel in a more compact package, and its use of caseless ammunition allows for higher capacity magazines without making the weapon too bulky. For extra quality of life, the rifle features a chamber indicator, located below the magazine, a maintenance port on the stock's underside, which allows for quick access to the bolt and chamber (in the rare event of a misfeed), and a small cleaning kit, located within a compartment inside the handguard and hidden behind a screw-on cap.
While nowhere near the most popular rifle in Xenes, the 884bp has found a comfortable and loyal niche amongst Nomads and mercenaries seeking a dependable and long supported marksman weapon. Quality support and maintenance from Arbacki itself, along with a small but healthy aftermarket parts market and enthusiast community help further foster this niche's loyalty.
