Weaponry
Compared to other navies, the UAC's weapon aresenal is rather small. Only 1 or two types of a specific design (SMG, Assault rifle) is produced. There are also many different weapons in weapons development, but wont be coming out anytime soon.

Vehicles
There is a very small variety of vehicles, due to the there being a small need for them at the current time.

UAC Army
The second largest branch of the UAC, it is responsible for most of the UAC's main military operations. Commonly seen after the Marines land.

UAC Marine Corps
The third largest branch of the UAC, and can be considered a subdivision of the UAC Navy. The UACMC is extremely important for defending aerospace ships, conducting most of the UAC's assaults, and are the commonly seen at the front line.

Orbital Drop Shock Troopers
A sub division of the UACMC, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are used for special operations, and when landing craft can not be used. ODSTs are droped from orbital insertion pods from a UAC ship to the surface. Given the nickname "helljumpers" due to the high chance of death while entering the atmosphere. They are known as the best of the best, only outmatched by the SPARTAN-IIs

Magnetic Accelerator Cannons
One of the most common weapons in the UAC, there are multiple types used by them. Each using slugs for ammunition. These are basically massive coilguns that propel shells at extremely high speeds, heavily relying on the kinetic force of the shell to do the damage. All MACs above MK-2 are classified in terms of design. The UAC commonly sells the MK-1 and MK-2 to friendly nations and navies unless in an emergency where more weapons are needed.

Types of Ammunition
Tungsten Slug: The most common type of ammunition

Tungsten Slug with Depleted Uranium: The second most common. Used while targeting vital parts of an enemy ship

Tungsten Slug with Explosive Tip: Very rare, used when targeting weakened parts of a ship, or attempting to damage the enemy armor.

MAC Types
MK .50 MAC: The same size as a MK-1 MAC, however, it is much cheaper to produces and should be implanted very small vessels. It's magazine comes in various sizes, from 2 rounds to 6 rounds, a full reload can take from 10-15 minutes. It also has the ability to charge the MAC round, holding it in the barrel longer, but this damages the barrel.

MK-1 MAC: The first MAC ever constructed. Can fire one round every 10 minutes. Can be modified to recycle energy to fire a 3 round burst, but has longer reload time of 30 minutes.

MK-2 MAC: Most commonly seen on light and some heavy cruisers. Commonly seen on heavy warships in groups of two. Has a reload time of 30 minutes

MK-3 MAC: Seen on super-heavy cruisers and battlecruisers. Has a reload time of 45 minutes.

MK-4 MAC: Seen on battleships, battlecruisers, and even heavier ships. Has a reload time of one hour

MK-5 MAC: Used on orbital defense platforms. Very powerful, and has the same one hour reload time as MK-4

MK-6 MAC: Seen on capital warships like UAC Athens and Eion. Extremely powerful with an one hour reload time.
