It has a 21" barrel from the Comp model, Nordic MXT +3 Extension Kit, Mesa Tactical Urbino Pistol Grip Stock + Riser (the buttpad doesn't seem to be based on any particular butt they make for their 1301 stock), Mesa Tactical SureShell Aluminum Carrier And Rail, and seemingly fictional choke and a fictional smooth version of the Rowe Tactical OEM Charging Handle.

Machine Guns

M134 Minigun (Handheld)

A handheld version of the GE M134 Minigun is carried by Izayoi Nonomi, as well as by Sukeban. Note: While operating the Minigun in this manner is highly unfeasible in real life, it must be noted that every student in Kivotos (the world Blue Archive is set in), like Nonomi, seem to have superhuman strength and endurance and are quite proficient with firearms, with some able to one-hand Desert Eagles with no loss in efficiency and others operating the MG 42, a general-purpose machine gun, as they would any other rifle.
