i would love to see the ARC3 from the game "Frontlines: Fuel of War" . . .heres a pick and hstory:

 

 

"The ARC3 Assault Rifle is the standard rifle of Western Coalition infantry personnel. It is actually a successor to several failed U.S. rifle designs that aimed to replace the M16.

 

When the Western Coalition was formed there was a concerted effort to adopt a Coalition-wide assault rifle. Each candidate weapon was designated Assault Rifle, Coalition and numbered. The first prototype of the ARC3 appeared in the US where was known as the XM80. The XM80 was the third weapon entered into consideration and its name changed when it won the competition.

 

The ARC3 is built around the new 6.8mm WC light rifle round. The 6.8’s bullet is slightly heavier than the older NATO 5.56mm round, and is designed to better penetrate body armor and then tumble inside the target’s body.

 

 

 

The American designers of the ARC3/XM80 improved on previous designs through the addition of a folding stock and also a compact, single-shot 25mm airburst grenade launcher. This GL permits the shooter to place an airburst explosion mere steps from a target hiding behind a corner or other hard cover"

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know its just an xm80 with modified furniture and an integrated gl but its still a nice looking gun. . .
