    That, ladies and gents, is a M.A.C.O. particle rifle from ST: Enterprise, one of my favorite rifles in the franchise, and weapon of choice for Military Assault Command Operations commandos.

    If you'll kindly direct your attention to the Earth Spacedock armory, you'll see this little beauty, exhibit A:

    Now, this has been sitting on a shelf in ESD ever since the updated interior of the station was released. Never once have I seen this rifle be put into the game, never once have I seen anyone wielding this rifle, player or otherwise.

    I now present to you, exhibit B:

    This is my player character holding the new Discovery phaser rifle (not the worst in the world, despite being Discovery), which has a nice hybrid of TOS and Enterprise aesthetics. Lucky for us, it has a vertical foregrip. You know what else has a vertical foregrip? Exhibit A, that's what. So, now that we have the item texture, the custom foregrip stance and animations, and the means to allow human weapons to fire bolts like a particle rifle would (would be blue instead of the Disco rifle's red), I say the time has come! Here's hoping they'll add this rifle at some point, because I've been wanting one ever since I bought the uniform for an absurd amount of dilithium.

    That's one model I want for a weapon and another is the MACO rifle without that open/close point bit on the gun
