This is currently a placeholder page. It will eventually be a comprehensive listing of all equipment used regularly by the Starfleet Marines in the world of SB118. The idea is to gather the information currently housed on multiple pages in a single entry.

Type 33A1 CQC/SOSAR Phaser Rifle
The Type 33A1 CQC/SOSAR (Close Quarters Combat/Special Operations Search and Rescue), as its name suggests, is an updated variation of the Type 33 CQC. As SAR operational requirements demanded more compact and versatile -- yet still powerful -- weapons, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers began producing the 33A1 in mid-2389. Though very similar to its predecessor, the 33A1 features a shorter barrel, lower profile, and the inclusion of a rail system onto which operators can attach a variety of scopes and optics according to situational requirements, personal preference, or both. Total length of the Type 33 CQC is 602mm (23.7 inches) and its weight is 2.54 kg (5.6 lbs).
The 33A1 is the primary weapon for Starfleet Search and Rescue going forward, due to its compact design and versatility.
Type 28 Phaser Rifle
Initially designed as a special operations rifle for the Starfleet Marines, the Type 28 was quickly adopted as a useful mid-level workhorse rifle for Search and Rescue. Though not as compact as the Type 33, the 28's modular nature makes it a very useful tool -- the targeting sight can be swapped out for several different types of sight and the folding fore-grip can also be removed and replaced with a flashlight, scanner or one of several other types of tool.
Type 28 rifles were used during the failed SAR mission to Duster's Range by the crew of the USS Constitution-B.
