Seburo MN-23

Nam is seen cleaning several Seburo MN-23 rifles. Another MN-23 makes a brief appearance in Act 4 in the hands of a criminal. The MN-23 was originally designed by Masamune Shirow as a commissioned design for Poseidon.co.jp (a manufacturer of replica resin kits of anime and manga weapons) as a cosmetic upgrade for the then-new electric airsoft version of the FAMAS assault rifle produced by Tokyo Marui. The original "backstory" of the gun specifies that it was intended as a less-than-lethal police riot control weapon, but since then has been used on multiple occasions (usually in adaptations of Shirow's manga) as a 5.56x45mm assault rifle. New Dominion Tank Police is the first instance of the MN-23 making an appearance as an actual assault rifle as opposed to a riot-control weapon.
