Equestrian Armaments

Equestrian Armaments, often shortened to "Equestrian Arms" or simply "EqAr", was one of the largest proprietors of weapons in Equestria after their founding in 2061. Their lineup is infamous for involving "unique" weapon designs that are often regarded as either majorly poor, or excessive in nature.

Equestrian Arms was first founded in 2061, shortly after the Caseless Invasion began. Their founder, an aspiring Unicorn Mare who took the new moniker of "Kickback", originally took interest in the Midnight's impressive firearms after having witnessed their aggressive takeover of Ponyville firsthand. She asked to modify one of the leftover Maro-32 rifles and did so - under heavy supervision. Her result was the "Maro-32-2", a complete failure of a weapon that ended up injuring the test operator when it backfired. However, this did not dissuade her from honing her weaponsmithing skills, and gathered a small following after finally making an "effective" weapon.

The first weapon that EqAr officially began to produce was the "EqAr Buckwild" shotgun; a substantially modified Winchester Model 1987 Shotgun sporting two barrels, a revolving drum magazine, and a bayonet. Despite the immense drawbacks of the weapon, most notably it's insane recoil when fired, the weapon found popularity with the new "Power Army" that the Midnight was developing, due to the Power Armor nullifying most of the recoil. And with one simple design, EqAr became infamous for odd and unusual weaponry.
