- "Weyland-Yutani's most recent Smartgun focuses on mobility and reliability over power and tracking capabilities. Still, when you gotta hit the target, use a Smartgun."
- ―L56A3 Smartgun description (from Aliens: Fireteam Elite)
The Weyland-Yutani Corporation L56A3 Smartgun was a variant of Armat Battlefield Systems' M56 Smartgun. It was notably employed by the Three World Empire and the United States Colonial Marine Corps during the 22nd century.
Development[]
This variant of the M56 Smartgun was developed for the Three World Empire, focusing more on defense, mobility and reliability by reducing the weapon's weight using nano-manufactured metamaterials and increasing combat harness articulation.[1]
Overview[]
The L56A3 fired 10×28mm Caseless ammunition. Its newly acquired mobility boosted its popularity with the United States Colonial Marine Corps mainly due to nostalgia; even so, some elite units often considered it to be a low-skill weapon.[1]
Notable users[]
While the original M56 model was released in 2149 for the Colonial Marines, this variant was released for the Three World Empire's Royal Marines Commandos and national services, and pressed into Colonial Marine service under the designation M56A3.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The L56A3 Smartgun appears in Aliens: Fireteam Elite and is the default Heavy weapon for the Demolisher and Lancer classes.
