Brecher

The Brecher was a Germanian battle rifle. It was standard-issue in Germanian forces up until the Information Age. The weapon had a slow rate of fire, but was very versatile, reliable, and accurate to a long range. A single bullet fired from the Brecher had a good armor-penetration capability, up to 2cm (or ~1 inch to the metric-impaired) of Duracite.

The Brecher fired 7.62x75mm bullets, of which it carried eight in a magazine. It was also known broadly for its adaptability, and many soldiers modify their Brechers to suit personal tastes.

Production
Every month during the Gallian War, approximately 30,000 Brechers were produced in factories. This was not just Germania alone, because other countries made use of the Brecher in their military. This made them the most common rifle until the Information Age, when it was largely replaced by the Darwin Assault Rifle, and third most produced small-arms weapon. The bayonets that fit the rifle were produced in the same factories, and worker's jobs at the last stages were to screw it on.

Deployment
Roughly five major powers of Serva use the Brecher extensively. Countless small countries use the rifle. The Brecher, being so common for its weapon type, was cheap and almost every citizen who was not impoverished could afford one and use one. Militia groups use the weapon for its ease of use and versatility. In the military, however, the weapon is used by:

- Germania

- Iberia

- Belgica

- Raetia

- Al Rubiyat
