MaxMini have announced the release of their new assault rifle, the perfect weapon for when you want to kill people but leave buildings standing.
Sculpted for use with 28mm scale miniatures, this kit comes with 10 assault rifles with which to kit out your sci-fi troopers, perfect to give your Imperial Guard that armed and ready look.

I might steal this paint scheme for my PanO combi rifles …
I’m always happy to see weapon options as thats one of the easiest ways to customize your army.
Maximini’s previous weapons (sci-fi and realistic) are much closer to historical (or true scale) 28mm scale than most other scifi ranges out there. Good for Infinity, but a bit too small for 40K and the likes.
Design of the rifle is really nice and I could see myself using it in some Infinity conversions. Most notably giving Haqqislam and Adriana a bit more futuristic weapons than the Kalasnikov’s they’re toting around at the moment.
Have to agree on those sleek and purposeful lines being right for Infinity – it reminds me of the COG weaponry from Gears of War (shame it doesn’t have an integral chainsaw but it still looks good).
You could also use these on Tau (or more appropriately Gue’vesa) forces, plus the minis coming out of Antenociti’s Workshop might also suit these if you want something more grounded in current technology for them to carry.
Yep, echoing previous comments this would work well in Infinity, Sedition wars, Alien War and any Tomorrows War faction. I’d be more inclined to use them as slung rifles on mini’s that are sporting CC weaponry or gizmos in their hands as trying to get a bullpup design weapon onto an existing mini is going to be a lot of annoyance.
