== Description ==
The '''Federated-Barrett M42B Rifle System''' is a high-tech ballistic rifle combat system produced by Federated-Barrett, a subsidiary of [[Federated Industries]] and the primary small-arms supplier for the [[Federated Suns]].  Designed to be the company's replacement for the venerable [[Federated Long Rifle]], the M42B can be modified into three different weapons with a simple four-kilogram modification kit.  In its standard rifle mode the M42B functions like a traditional projectile rifle with an underslung [[Compact Grenade Launcher]] and detachable five-round magazine.  In a matter of moments it can be turned into a light machine gun with the addition of a heavier barrel, bipod and high-capacity linkless-feed ammo drum, or a special-operations close-combat rifle by swapping in a shorter barrel fitted with a [[Sound and Flash Suppressor]].  All three versions of the M42B also feature a built-in [[Laser Sight]].<ref name="HB:HDp183">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 183, "Rules Annex - Federated-Barrett M42B Rifle System"</ref>
