It takes a special kind of officer to keep the roughnecks of the Colonial Marines in line. Each one was once a grunt like each man that follows him, and has elevated through the ranks from lowly Privates. As such, a Colonial Marine officer is well-trained in many different weapons and often has the pick of them when they go into battle. The sight of an angry Marine Captain wielding an Armat M41AE2 Heavy Pulse Rifle is enough to make any enemy quake in their boots!
