Franerri Service Rifle: Ilucil Modèle 1915 (IM-1915)
The Ilucil Modèle 1915 is the Franerri derivative of the Lusatian bolt-action Bercik rifle developed in 1870, modified to be chambered in the 7.62x55mm 'Valenti' round and be cheaper to produce. While the first production runs of the IM-1915 suffered from reliability issues the Franerri Army has divested most of this stock to either the civilian Franerri market or for arms exports abroad. The Ilucil is a single-shot bolt action rifle using smokeless powder with a detachable bayonet, the Army's desired modifications made by the AnNa Arms Corporation under the direction of Alesandro Ilucil. Franerri conscripts drilled to shoot 10 rounds per minute with the rifle while the professional soldiers are able to shoot 15 rounds per minute when equipped with the Ilucil. The IM-1915 features a maximum effective firing range of 2000m, a muzzle velocity of 430m/s, a weight of 4.62kg, and a length of 135.4cm. A Carbine variant, the IM-1915-C, serves with Franerri cavalry and engineer teams.
Franerri Sidearm: Marron Modèle 1914 (MM-1914)
The Marron Modèle 1914 was designed by Franerri gunsmith Jean M. Marron based on the designs of the Lusatian revolvers used by the Franerri army at the time. Marron would go on to sell the design to AnNa Arms, before joining the company himself. The MM-1914 is a reliable six-shot revolver chambered in .45 ACP, and has been the mainstay of the Franerri army since it's inception. The weapon serves as a sidearm for all French officers and heavy weapon teams and weighs 0.95 kg. empty.

Franerri Sabre: Officer and Cavalry Sabre 1880 (OSC-1880)
Every noncommissioned officer in the Franerri Army is equipped with both a sabre and the MM-1914, while cavalry divisions are equipped with both a sabre and an IM-1915-C. Produced mostly by the AnNa Arms Company, the OSC is a strong blade fit for both slicing and stabbing and is resistant to rust provided the blade is regularly cleaned properly.
Franerri Repeating Rifle: Vaccaro Repeating Rifle Modèle 1914/20 (FRVM-1914/20)
The Vaccaro Repeating Rifle (Fusil à Répétition Vaccaro) is the Franerri Army's attempt at making a repeating rifle for their army. While the initial goals of the project, lead by Franerri gunsmith Federico Vaccaro working in the Royal Setange Armory (Armurie Royal Setange/ARS), were to import and cheapen an existing model to outfit the entire Franerri Army, it soon proved unfeasible to cheapen the complex machinery required for the repeating action. Instead, it was decided that a new rifle would be produced, while taking the repeating action of an existing rifle as a base to offset the most costly and complex part of the design. The repeating action chosen was the Gaelian McCaren Model 4, and two years later the FRVM-1914 was being produced mostly out of the ARS. The original 1914 model features a nine round tube magazine chambered in 7.65x55mm 'Vetterli' smokeless ammunition, weighs 4.6kg, has a total length of 130 cm, a muzzle velocity of 435m/s, and an effective firing range of 1200m. An updated variant, the FRVM-1914/20, would extend the barrel and tubular magazine to 150cm and 11 rounds respectively which increased the overall weight of the rifle to 5.2kg, as well as making slight modifications to the repeating action to make the bolt smoother and less prone to jamming and damage. The original 1914 model still sees use among Franerri cavalry units, though the majority of both the original and the 1914/20 variant's use is in the professional Franerri infantry, who are expected to fire accurately at a rate of 20 rounds/minute from a full magazine and 12 rounds/minute when reloading after every shot.
Franerri Shotgun: Sordi Modèle 1927 (SM-1927)
The newest weapon in the Kingdom's arsenal, the SM-1927 is the Franerri designation for the Marrlaner Rolbeck Model 65 Multi Purpose Lever Action Shotgun 12-Gauge. Named after Luc Sordi, the Lusatian-educated Franerri brigadier-general who initially brought such a weapon to the Army's attention. Very few Sordis have been produced with the Marrlaner license and are in service with professional Franerri infantry to clear trenches and fortified defensive positions. The Sordi features a 7 round tubular magazine, weighs 3.6 kg, and has a 508 mm barrel length.
Franerri Gatling Gun: ARS Mark I. Mitrailleuse (ARS Mk. I)
Franerre's only machine gun in service, the ARS Mk. I is the AFR's designation for the Lusatian Mk. III Gatling Gun. The weapon was cutting-edge for the Kingdom's army when it was adopted in 1910, though after twenty years of service the already dated design has begun to show it's age. The ARS Mk. I fires .30.06 from 8 rotating barrels operated by a hand crank at a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute when operated by a 4 man crew. The gun mainly sees use in Franerri fortifications, but when in use in the field by professional forces the ARS Mk. I is transported in a horse-drawn carriage which occasionally sports armor. The Mitrailleuse weighs 72 kg, has a length of 1079 mm, and a barrel length of 673 mm.
