Line 87 ⟶ 88:
The current Wasp iteration is designated the 410-J20, and comes with overhauled ergonomic controls, up-to-date electronic systems including GPS, infared, laser designators, and noise dampeners, a space to install encrypted radio equipment, and a redesigned transmission, engine, and main gun. An additional 12.7mm machine gun is mounted on the top of the turret for use by the commander. The tanks can carry 25 shells and 6 ATGMs. Thanks to minaturized auto-loaders, the loader crew position can be replaced with a radio operator for coordinating fire support. The 410-J20 model can achieve road speeds of 80 km/h and cross-country speeds of 57 km/h. Quill manufactures the proprietary cannon ammunition due to the unique caliber of the weapon. A single Wasp costs around $550,000 SHD for a modern variant; older ones can cost between $250,000 and $330,000. The Wasp is used in-house by Company contractors for armor training courses and armed deployments into highly-contested combat zones.

The 1-MAC carbine is a rugged assault rifle produced by Quill Armories, a division of Quill Engineering. The Series 1-Modular Assault Carbine is a retooled weapon chambered in standard 7.62x51mm ammunition. Its composite body can be easily disassembled in the field for switching components. Standard rifles are offered with a folding stock and a shorter barrel attachment to convert the weapon for close-quarters battle. Additional modular sections are produced by Quill for international clients, including a variety of chamberings, grenade launchers, and sights. Certain modules allow the 1-MAC to be converted to a designated marksman rifle. Rifles possess an integrated upper rail system for attaching sights. The tappet gas recoil system feeds two recievers, a lower polymer and an upper aluminum. The planned replacement to the 1-MAC, the 2C-MAC, is designed to be thermally sensitive, and will switch from a closed to open-bolt firing mode as the barrel temperature increases from firing.
The 1-MAC is produced in Casilló y Réal, with secondary tooling and manufacturing of modular parts done in Toloria. It is marketed to a variety of consumers including individual firearm owners, law enforcement, private security, and militaries. The rifle serves as the standard long-arm of Quill security contractors as well as the preferred tactical firearm of some Corric metropolitan police departments.
