User:Chiafriend12/M2 Multi-Compatibility Bipod

The Model 2 Multi-Compatibility Bipod, abbreviated as "M2 MCB", was a UNSC bipod made on the grounds of it being compatible with most UNSC firearms for increased accuracy when needed. It began service in 2536, and continued until it was replaced by the M3 Multi-Compatibility Portable Mount in 2555.

In its nineteen year lifespan, about 750,000 were made. Only around 50,000 copies were still around from most having been destroyed in a planet's glassing.

Variants

 * XM2: Prototype for the M2 MCB, only compatible with an MA5B Assault Rifle.
 * XM2A: Final prototype, compatible with MA2B, MA3 and MA5B, and MA5K Assault Rifles.
 * M2: First non-prototype, with the same compatibilities as the XM2A.
 * M2A: Released in 2537, also compatible with BR55 Battle Rifles.
 * M2B: Released in 2539, also grants compatibility to M7 and M7S Submachine Guns.
 * M2C: Released in late 2540, also is compatible with an M90 Shotgun.
 * M2C1: Released in mid-2541, this version weighs 25% less due to a new metal composite that is just as sturdy as the previous composite used.
 * M2D: This version, released in 2548, was the final version of the main production line of M2s. It featured compatibility with all the other previously compatible firearms, but also was compatible with 99C-S2 Sniper Rifles in case their permanently fixed bipods broke off. This design also featured a slightly different general design to help sturdiness.
 * M2MG: This variant, released in 2550, was designed for a secondary mode of deployment for M247 and AIE-486H Machine Guns, and designed only to work for those. Though it had none of the compatibility of the earlier models, the M2MG was still designated as an M2 MCB because of how it looked very similar to earlier M2s. Only around 1,000 were produced.
