The G7 Scout is a semi-automatic marksman rifle that utilizes Light Rounds Light Rounds.

Lore

Reliability, brutal precision, and ease of maintenance made the G2A4 and G2A5 Battle Rifles a mainstay in Frontier colony arsenals, these are the tenets the G7 Scout seek to uphold. Manufactured by Lastimosa Armory, the G7 Scout is virtually indistinguishable mechanics-wise from its hallowed ancestors, still packing a semi-automatic punch at mid to long-range. The biggest change from the G2A5 was the frame being replaced from a milled tactical stock to a solid composite body intended to serve the role of a Scout Rifle.

History


Trivia

  • The G7 Scout is the only weapon to have a rare reload animation, where the empty magazine may be ejected and then a new one is inserted both from the top. This particular reload is a reference to the M1 Garand, which the M14 and, by extension, the G7 Scout is based on.
  • The G7 Scout is the only weapon whose type changed twice, first from a sniper rifle to assault rifle in Season 4 Season 4, and then from assault rifle to marksman weapon in Season 9 Season 9.
  • It was originally designated as the G2A6, making it more in line with the naming scheme of its Frontier War ancestors.
  • The G7 Scout appearance is based on the real Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 semi-automatic rifle fitted with a J. Allen Enterprises JAE-100 chassis.
  • The Crimson Firedrake skin sports the phrase "You Owe Me Awe", a nod to the 2002 thriller Red Dragon in which the main antagonist Francis Dolarhyde speaks to his victim Freddy Lounds before murdering him.
  • The G7 Scout is Bangalore's favorite weapon. It is seen in a few of her banner poses, her character select animation, and her lobby animations.[1]
