BRIEFING:
→ Liberty: The Beretta 92's open slide design ensures smooth feeding and ejection of ammunition and allows easy clearing of obstructions. The hard-chromed barrel bore reduces barrel wear and protects it from corrosion. The falling locking block design provides good accuracy and operability with suppressors due to the in-line travel of the barrel. This is in contrast to the complex travel of Browning designed barrels. The magazine release button is reversible with simple field tools. Reversing the magazine release makes left-handed operation much easier. Increasingly, it has become popular to reduce handgun weight and cost and increase corrosion resistance by using polymers. Starting around the year 2000, Beretta began replacing some parts with polymer and polymer coated metal. Polymer parts include the recoil spring guide rod which is now also fluted, magazine release button, magazine floor plate, magazine follower and the mainspring cap/lanyard loop. Polymer coated metal parts include the safety levers, trigger, trigger bar, slide lock/release and disassembly latch. Hers is silver with "Liberty" etched into the side. No matter what she always keeps the gun in a holster at her hip.

→ Justice: A standard combat blade, Nina uses this in conjunction with her astounding hand-to-hand skills. With a black handle and black blade, the word "Justice" etched into it's blade. This had once been her fathers until he had died. Dmitri gave it to her when she completed her training. One of the last things she has of her Dad's, she carries it on her person at all times. It is always concealed on her right calf in a small sheath, for those just in case situations.

→ Freedom: The Vector's action was originally developed by Cretan engineer Renaud Kerbrat. This action, the so-called Kriss Super V, is an articulated mechanism which allows the block and bolt to recoil off-axis into a recess behind the weapon's magazine well.[8] The Vector family of weapons is the first to use this action; the company claims the .45 ACP chambering was chosen to demonstrate that the action could "tame" such a powerful round.[9] Variants chambered for the .40 S&W and 9×19mm Parabellum round are currently in development. All KRISS Vectors operate with standard Glock magazines with the .45 ACP caliber weapons using the 13 round G-21 magazine. The Vector's barrel is in line with the shooter's shoulder as in the M16 rifle, but also in line with the shooter's hand as with many target pistols. Combined, these factors reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb by eliminating the distance between the shooter's hand and the bore axis along with the action of the Super V Mechanism. This is the primary weapon of choice for Nina, as its accuracy and power make it one of the best to wield. Etched into its side is "Freedom." It is completely dark brown in color.

→ Independence: The CheyTac Intervention is an Cretan bolt action sniper rifle manufactured by CheyTac LLC for long range soft target interdiction. It is fed by a detachable single stack magazine, which holds 7 rounds. It fires .408 CheyTac or .375 CheyTac ammunition. CheyTac papers state that the entire system is capable of delivering sub-MOA accuracy at ranges of up to 2,500 yards (2,300 m), one of the longest ranges of all modern-day sniper rifles. It is based on the EDM Arms Windrunner. For more specs on this weapon see this. Whenever sniping is necessary, Nina is the girl for the job, and so is this bad boy. All black, and all beautiful. Etched into the side of this one is the word "Independence."

→ Courage: The lower receiver is a standard M4A1 lower receiver sometimes modified with the addition of a CQD RSM sling adapter plate. However, many CQBR rifles also use surplus M16A1 lower receivers. Internally, the CQBR also takes advantage of a larger gas port and modified bolt carrier and buffer assembly. The gas port has been opened to 0.070 in (0.18 mm). A number of Lewis Machine & Tool 10.5" (266.7 mm) upper receivers have also been reported to have been purchased for the CQBR program. These upper receivers feature a gas system optimized for short barrel use.
Sights: Initially, detachable carrying handles cut down so that only the rear sight assembly was used. However, most of these have been replaced with the similar, commercially-made Lewis Machine & Tool adjustable rear sight. Also used are several types of reflex and magnified optics, most commonly seen is the Aimpoint CompM2 in a Wilcox Industries Corp. Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) mount. A variety of M4 retractable buttstocks are used on a standard 4-position receiver extension, including the standard "CAR" stock. Most often seen is the SOPMOD stock, often referred to as the "Crane stock", created by Dave Armstrong of NSWC-Crane. The angled stock offers better cheekweld as well as providing two storage compartments for spare batteries. The stock must be removed from the weapon to access the storage compartments. The initial run of stocks was made by NSWC-Crane from glass fiber polymer. Because of this, they were somewhat fragile and did not always properly lock into the receiver extension. A rubber band was used to secure the latch so it would not slide out of the desired position. The current L7LA2B SOPMOD stocks are made by Lewis Machine & Tools and have none of these problems. The CQBR uses a 1:7 in (178 mm) twist M4 barrel that has been modified in length to 10.3 in (262 mm). The diameter of the barrel under the handguards is 1.17 in (29.7 mm). The KAC M4-QD flash suppressor is fitted, allowing use of the KAC QDSS-NT4 suppressor (National Stock Number 1005-01-437-0324). Although it has a bayonet lug, the CQBR is not meant to be fitted with any fighting blades. The standard handguard for the CQBR is the Knight's Armament Company Rail Interface System (M4 Carbine RIS; National Stock Number 1005-01-416-1089), which is designed for a variety of barrel profiles and allows for the use of any MIL-STD-1913 tactical accessories such as the AN/PEQ-2 infrared pointer, SureFire flashlights, or a vertical forward grip. The handguard manufacturer has changed since KAC to Daniel Defense as the primary contractor for the MK18 RIS, NSN # 1005-01-547-2624. The CQBR is designed to use standard 5.56x45mm NATO 62-grain M855 FMJ and M856 Tracer ammunition. However, due to the short barrel, the heavier 77-grain Mk 262 cartridge is preferred. There are no plans to rechamber the weapon in any additional calibers. When close quarters is required, this is Nina's weapon of choice. It's excellent overall superiority to other weapons of its type makes it one of her favorites to use. All black, on its side is etched the word "Courage."
