- _AUTOMATIC RIFLE_

- 7.62 Machine Gun for the Machine Gunner role.

Light Support Weapon that trades magazine size for mobility.
The alternate firing mode improves shot grouping by lowering the rate of fire.

- _PERSONAL DEFENSE WEAPON_

Lightweight carbine available as an alternative to the SMG.
The cartridge used by this weapon sports surprising power retention over long distances.

Compact variant of the Assault Rifle designed for operations in cramped environments, such as anthills or dollhouses.

- _RIFLED SHOTGUN_

Accurized variant of the Shotgun that fires high-velocity saboted slugs from a rifled barrel. Comes equipped with a High Magnification Scope.

- _OBREZ_

- 7.62 Rifle for all special roles!

High-power Bolt-action rifle.The haphazardly sawed-off stock makes this weapon compact enough to be carried as a sidearm.

**Introducing GMTE-Sandbox2019  : **

- Brand new Territories map, available for free!

- The kids are back to School and we all know what that means : the fight for the playground commences.

Battle your way across the Sandbox as the children take their tests inside the classroom.

The sand buckets have become your bunkers, and the leftover popsicle sticks from art class will now build the fortress that you cling to in this epic battle of Schoolyard dominance.

Whether you fly the choppers or call in the napalm rockets onto the final castle objective, there can be only one King of the Sandbox. Going Back to School has never been this fun.

Thank you for your continued feedback and support.
Regards,
The Green Army Men Team.
