MXAR (Expeditionary Forces)

Sign in to edit

« The MXAR is part of the MX family of rifles. It is the standard service rifle for the MJTF infantrymen. It features a longer, heavier barrel derived from the MX SW to allow for more accurate fire over longer distances and is usually paired with a purpose-made suppressor.

The MXAR 6.5 mm assault rifle.

The MXAR is a 6.5 mm assault rifle used exclusively by the MJTF in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Expeditionary Forces Creator DLC.

Overview[]

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

The MXAR is a long barrel configuration of the MX assault rifle. It features a vertical foregrip in lieu of the baseline MX's angled foregrip.

It is able to load either 30-round STANAGs or 100-round casket magazines shared with the MX SW. It has a muzzle velocity of 880 m/s[CfgWp 6] and can attain a rate of fire of up to ~ 625 rounds per minute.[CfgWp 7][Formula 1]

The MXAR supports attachments on all three of its rails: top[CfgWp 8], side[CfgWp 9], and underbarrel.[CfgWp 10] Its muzzle can also be fitted with a 6.5 mm sound suppressor.[CfgWp 11]

Variants[]

MXAR 3GL[]

The MXAR 3GL 6.5 mm assault rifle.
The MXAR 3GL 6.5 mm assault rifle.

The MXAR 3GL variant has a 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher attached.

Its 3GL grenade launcher can load and fire a variety of 40 mm rounds, ranging from lethal high-explosive (HE) grenades to non-lethal smoke shells and less-than-lethal (LTL) flares.[CfgWp 18][CfgWp 19] The 3GL has a quadrant sight fitted with a red dot reflex optic. Its zeroing can be manually adjusted up to a maximum of 400 metres.[CfgWp 20]

Due to the 3GL's addition, the MXAR 3GL is ~ 16% heavier[CfgWp 13] and also has an increased inertia penalty compared to the standard MXAR rifle (0.65).[CfgWp 16] The 3GL also occupies the MXAR's six o'clock rail, thereby preventing the attachment of bipod accessories. Aside from these changes, the MXAR 3GL remains statistically unchanged from regular MXARs.

Ironsights[]

Arma3-efmxar-ironsight-overview
The MXAR's ironsights allow for a minimum zeroing of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[CfgWp 21] By default, it uses a zeroing of 100 metres.[CfgWp 22] Only the front sight post is illuminated and will glow green both in daylight and in low-light conditions.

When fitted with an optical scope that supports a zeroing limit greater than 600 metres (e.g. Nightstalker), the MXAR will only permit a maximum zeroing of 1,200 metres.[CfgWp 23]

Arma3-efmxar3gl-ironsight-overview
Ironsights on the MXAR 3GL allow for a minimum zeroing of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[CfgWp 24] By default, it uses a zeroing of 100 metres.[CfgWp 25] Only the front sight post is illuminated and will glow green both in daylight and low-light conditions.

When fitted with an optical scope that supports a zeroing limit greater than 600 metres (e.g. Nightstalker), the MXAR 3GL will only permit a maximum zeroing of 1,200 metres.[CfgWp 26]

Arma3-ef3gl-ironsight-overview
The 3GL grenade launcher can be manually zeroed between the ranges of 50 metres up to 400 metres (50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400).[CfgWp 20]

It uses a red dot reflex sight. By default, the sight uses a zeroing of 75 metres.[CfgWp 27]

Camouflage[]

  • Coyote: Standard coyote brown colour finish.
  • Black: Jet black/dark greyish finish.
  • Khaki: Tropical green finish with a dark green stock.
  • Sand: Desert sand/flat dark earth finish with a digital camouflage pattern on the magazine.

Ammunition[]

NOTE: If the Reaction Forces Creator DLC is simultaneously loaded alongside Expeditionary Forces, it will be possible for the MXAR's 3GL launcher to load and deploy RC-40 Micro UAVs from that DLC.

For grenade rounds usable with the 3GL, refer to its dedicated article here.

Both variants of the MXAR can load 30-round STANAGs and 100-round casket magazines.[CfgWp 28][CfgWp 29] The 30-rounder STANAGs have a weight of 10[CfgMa 5] "mass" units while the 100-rounder caskets have a weight of 25[CfgMa 6] "mass" units. Regardless of its capacity, they are always available in four finishes: Sand, Khaki, Black and Coyote.

All magazines are fully interchangeable with the baseline MX rifle and its various configurations[CfgWp 30][CfgWp 31][CfgWp 32][CfgWp 33][CfgWp 34], though it should also be noted that none of the MX's magazines can be shared with any variant of the Promet bullpup:

6.5 mm 30Rnd STANAG Mag[]

Arma3-ammunition-ef30rndmxcoyote

30-round STANAG magazine loaded with a mixed load of 6.5 mm NATO ball and tracer ammunition (with a 26/4 split).[CfgMa 7]

The last four rounds of the magazine will always emit visible red tracers.[CfgMa 8]

6.5 mm 30Rnd Tracer (Red) Mag[]

Arma3-ammunition-ef30rndmxcoyote

Dedicated tracer magazine. Loaded entirely with thirty visible red tracer rounds.[CfgMa 9][CfgMa 10]

Aside from its pure tracer loadout, it weighs the same as the standard 30-rounder magazine.

6.5 mm 100Rnd Mag[]

Arma3-ammunition-ef100rndmxswcoyote

Casket magazine loaded with a mix of 6.5 mm NATO ball and tracer ammunition (with a 71/29 split).[CfgMa 11]

Every fourth round fired will always emit a visible red tracer.[CfgMa 12] The last four rounds of the magazine will consist exclusively of tracers.[CfgMa 13] It should also be noted that 6.5 mm NATO rounds from this magazine specifically are fired with much higher velocities of 880 m/s instead[CfgMa 14], though it remains identical in all other aspects.

6.5 mm 100Rnd Tracer (Red) Mag[]

Arma3-ammunition-ef100rndmxswcoyote

Special casket magazine loaded entirely with one-hundred rounds of visible red tracers.[CfgMa 15][CfgMa 16]

Aside from being loaded exclusively with tracers, it shares the same weight and increased muzzle velocity with the baseline 100-rounder magazine.

Trivia[]

  • Like the MX itself, the MXAR is completely fictitious and has no direct real-world equivalent. However, the idea of converting a service weapon into a hybrid assault rifle/light support weapon is inspired by the U.S. Marine Corps' "M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle" (IAR) designed by Heckler & Koch GmbH.[1][2]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • Arma3-efmxar-03

    Unused MXAR with the "older" MXM grip.

    There is an unused variant of the MXAR that uses an "older" MXM-style vertical foregrip instead of the standard one used on baseline MXAR rifles (Classname: ef_arifle_mxar_oldgrip).[3] However, it is deliberately hidden from the Virtual Arsenal and can only be equipped through the use of scripting commands or a custom addon to unhide this "older" MXAR.

Formulae

  1. ↑ 60 / reloadTime = 60 / 0.096
  2. ↑ Magazine's initSpeed * Ammo's caliber * 15 / 1000 = 800 * 1 * 15 / 1000
  3. ↑ Weapon's initSpeed * Ammo's caliber * 15 / 1000 = 880 * 1 * 15 / 1000

Notes[]

  1. ↑ This value only applies to the magazine itself. The initSpeed value defined in the MXAR's weapon class (880 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine.
  2. ↑ Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
