Raptor automatic rifle

The Cobretti AR-70 automatic rifle was a high-end weapon that entered mass-production in the closing stages of the First Tiberium War as the main assault rifle of GDI and Nod forces.

The weapon fires 6.8mm rounds from a compact 100 round drum magazine and can fire in either fully automatic, burst and single fire modes. It is quite bulky for a rifle, but reliable and the mass is needed to compensate for the reccoil the high-velocity bullets give when fired in fully automatic mode. The weapon was also constructed to have the sound of discharge muffled at least partially, which contributed to the bulkiness of the rifle.

The rifle was the predecessor of the M16 Mk. II assault rifle of the Second Tiberium War.
