ZX Shotgun
The ZX is a 12 guage pump-action shotgun. Made solely of lightweight metal alloys, the ZX is as sturdy as it is dangerous. The weapon can hold a maximum of 12 shots which are contained in the bulky magazine located in the base below the round chamber. The fact the ZX takes a magazine reduces manual reload time.
The rounds themselves are specialised. Instead of the buck-shot round typical of previous models, the ZX utilises the M10 rounds. The M10 rounds house approximately 20 smaller explosive projectiles, which have a minimum spread out of only a foot in diameter at 30 meters after the weapon is fired.
The ZX has an automatic spent cartridge discharger to free the firing breach for successive rounds.

M-41A Pulse Rifle
Type : M-41A Pulse Rifle 10mm with 30mm pump action grenade launcher and Digital Counter
Ammunition: 10mm explosive tip cassless standard light armour piercing round .M-40 Grenades
Capacity: 99 rounds
The M41A Pulse Rifle is the standard issue for all United States Colonial Marines. It fires a 10mm Explosive Tipped Caseless Light Armour Piercing round. The M41 uses electronic pulse action to fire, controlled directly from the trigger. The internal mechanism, including the rotating breech, is mounted on free-floating rails within a carbon-fiber jacket. This assembly is recoil dampened to reduce the effects of muzzle climb during burst and full automatic fire. From the thumb selector, the weapon can be set to selective, four-round burst, or full automatic fire, the latter allowing a rate of fire up to the weapon's cyclic rate of 900 rpm.
M56 Smart Gun
The core of a Colonial Marine squad's fighting power is its machine guns. More effective than a rifle, machine guns can sustain large columns of continuous fire both in the attack and defence, and are frequently the most decisive weapon in a firefight. The M56 Smart Gun is the Colonial Marines' primary squad machine gun. The M56 is carried with a self aiming stabiliser, and is linked to an infrared target tracking system.
The M56A2 is a 10mm general-purpose automatic squad support weapon, effective out to 1500 meters. The pulse-action system employs a free-floating recoil-dampened motorised rotating breech mechanism chambered for the M250 series 10 mm x28 caseless round. The replaceable barrel system is air-cooled. The system is mounted on an operator's harness and slaved to an infrared tracking system. The gun is self-steering on the mount, though firing must be commanded manually.
All firing is controlled from either the forward hand grip or the rear firing handle; the operator fires the weapon by depressing the red 'fire' switch or pulling the firing handle upwards. There are three setting on this switch; Safe, Burst and Autofire. The Burst setting will fire four round bursts, while the autofire feature will continue to fire the weapon at its full cyclic rate so long as the fire switch remains depressed. The M250 10mm x 28 ammunition is stored on a roll of continuous plastic non-disintegrating link belt in the ammunition drum, which can be reloaded in the field.
M240 Flame Unit
The M240 is in reality, a lightweight carbine-format flamethrower. It is designed to be solely used in close combat situations at the squads and fireteams level. The weapon uses a pressurised, ultra-thickened Napthal gel as a base and is ignited at the nozzle burner, and can be used to cover an area up to 25 meters. Once as the target is hit, the gel will adhere and continue to burn for up to one minute.
With a sufficient fuel in a standard fuel reservoir for up to 20 bursts, the flame-thrower is considered to be one of the most fierce weapons in the marines armoury, and has even been useful in close combat situations and as well as xenomorph exterminating operations. However, this weapon is one of the most unpopular with its operators, basically because of the fuel reservoirs tendency to rupture violently when hit by shrapnel or from small arms fire.
UA 571-C Remote Automated Sentry System
The UA 571-C Robot Sentry is an automated point defence system. It consists of a 7.62 mm machinegun mounted in an automated servo system with IR, motion and ambient light sensors for target acquisition. The entire package is armoured (SP 20, SDP 30) and mounted on a sturdy tripod (Leg SP 20, SDP 15). The weapon cannot be detached from its base or used by hand. Each weapon comes with a control terminal microwave-linked to its Sentry gun, which can be placed up to 1000 metres away from the Sentry.
The system is sophisticated and can be set to search based on a target's visual and/or thermal profile or 'auto-remote', using the system's built in IFF transponder and stutter-chipping, allowing it to avoid firing on a target wearing a personal data transmitter or M10 helmet IFF transponder with the right IFF code (this may be deactivated at the operator's command). Because the UA 571-C lacks a human's judgement, clearance of the ranking officer is required by law (although not needed) to use the system.
ARMOURED PERSONEL CARRIER (APC)
The M577 APC was designed as a lightweight low-cost vehicle which could be stored onboard a dropship for easy transport. The chassis is made of bonded titanium, with a ground clearance of 22cm. The M577 APC has a crew of two, a driver and a section commander, and can have a maximum of 12 passengers. The interior of the APC is also very spacious, allowing for room for weapons and equipment storage. The rear of the crew compartment houses the Tactical Operations centre, where the section commander can view sensor screens and maintain contact with the onboard infantry.
Armament
Weapons onboard the APC include dual front-mounted RE700 20mm gatling cannon, and a rear-mounted turret which moves on rails which run down the back of the APC. The turret can be one of three variants: M577 A, which is a phased plasma cannon, M577 A1, which is a pair of free-electron lasers, or M577 A2, which is a charged particle beam cannon.
UD-4 'CHEYENNE' DROPSHIP
The UD-4 'Cheyenne' is a versatile dropship and tactical transport vessel that forms the staple of the USCMC Aerospace Division. Capable of 16,000kg payloads, the UD-4 has evolved into the definitive dropship design. With the vessels ability for verticle take-off landings (VTOL) into hot LZ's, internal guns, weapon pods and hardpoints for various rockets and missiles, combined with its orbital capabilities, the Cheyenne is the perfect close support gunship.
Armament
The typical Cheyenne armaments include a 1x25mm gatlin gun with 900 rounds, 32x150mm unguided rockets, 12x70mm unguided rockets, 8x120mm guided rockets, 7 AGM-220 air to ground missiles, 3 TSAM threat suppression missiles, 3 AIM-90 short range air-to-air missiles. A Dropship will be typically armed with the following. 1 gatlin gun, 2 32x150mm unguided rockets, 2 AGM-220 air to ground missiles, and 2 AIM-90 short range air-to-air missiles.
Powerplant
In order to be able to operate in all speed and altitude regimes from vertical take-off (VTOL) hover to the hypersonic trans-atmopheric, the UD-4 requires two types of powerplant. The main engines are a pair of Replublic Dynamics TF-900 variable-cycle turbines, each producing 310 kN static thrust. Each engine has a three-stage fan and seven-stage compressor each driven by single-stage turbines to produce exceptionally high thrust for low specific fuel consumption. High-altitude high-speed flight is permitted by the aft TF-220/A-14 ramrockets. The TR-220 is a combined-cycle engine capable of ramrocket and scramrocket operation from the supersonic to hypersonic regimes, and rocket power for transatmospheric operation. In an assult or shuttle operation, a Cheyenne usually has sufficient fuel to drop from orbit and achieve a low-orbital injection on its return. Descents can be made both powered or unpowered, dependent on the mission profile, though an injection burn from the rocket engines is usually required to reach a descent window from orbit.
Congestoga class starship
Powerplant: 3.6 terawatt Dry fusion + Cygnus-5 hyperdrive
Also Equipped with XIM-28A Longlance missiles, Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Emergency Escape Vehicle
The Conestoga starship class has various weapons and armaments and serves as a transport as well as a battle cruiser. It not only can fight its way to the planet where its marine complement is needed, but then it can also put them onto said planet via dropship. It can hold four dropships at one time in the launch bay and has the capacity for more in the cargo hold.
For weapons, the Congestoga class uses the XIM-28A Longlance missile, an anti-satelite missile. As secondary armement it has two particle beam weapons capable of disrupting the enemy's communications and sensors. Short range weapons include laser turrets and a dorsal and ventral railgun.
The Congestoga class also carries fragmentation mines for defensive fields, re-entry vehicles for planet insertion or nuclear, chemical and biological attacks on an enemy planet. Decoy ballutes are ejected from it in the event of an attack to confuse enemy radar or sensors. The Congestoga's engine is powered by a dry fusion plant capable of 3.6 terawatts of output. This reactor powers four GF-240 for sublight travel and aCygnus-5 hyperdrive for faster-than-light travel. The reactoris fuel-efficient, shielded against battle damage, and has a failsafe system for instant cooling in the case of core-breach.
The Congestoga has multiple cryo-sleep chambers for its crew and complement, and employs the Emergency Escape Vehicle 337 in times of emegency during of FTL (Faster than Light) travel. The EEV 337 has room for four sleep chambers, and when an emergency ocurs, the chambers are ejected by the Sulaco onto the EEV. Cryo-sleep is not disturbed.
Thats all the information i got on marines from this guys post on a fanfiction.net fourm his name on there is ben revell who got this information from zack0holic on the same site.
