The MA5 Assault Rifle-Grenade Combat Assault Weapon System, abbreviated as the MA5AR-G CAWS, more commonly known as the MA5AR-G, is a standard assault weapon United Nations Space Command firearm introduced in 2563 to 2695. It is the successor of the MA5C Assault Rifle.

Design
The MA5AR-G is an air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine fed weapon designed for automatic fire and aggressive action. The MA5AR-G is the fourth rifle in the MA5 Series, the new workhorse of the UNSC Marine Corps. The MA5AR-G has an attached electronics suite that provides a variety of information including on rounds remaining in current magazine, limited navigational headings, whether a loaded grenade in the tube, as well as several other "housekeeping" functions. The rifle performs well in a variety of environments especially given the delicacy of the attached electronics suite.

The standard MA5AR-G Rifle (is visibly similar to the outdated MA5C) has a sixty 8x65mm FMJ round magazine and an under-barrel grenade launcher able to fire a variety of different 50mm grenades. Also the MA5AR-G can fire several different rounds including shedder rounds and the prototype ‘HH7-X’ 8x65mm round. The Grenade launcher can be replaced for a Master Key, a short barrelled shotgun able to load five shells for close-quarters action.

The MA5AR-G is exactly similar to the MA5C with the exception of lighter but stronger materials and is designed as Assault weapon, meant for attacking and taking enemy positions. Therefore, a larger magazine is available to a UNSC soldier turning the sixty-round clip into a hundred-round magazine increasing its lethality.
