The AF-19 Mercenary is a carbine available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked by default.

The Auraxis Firearms - 19 Mercenary, not unlike the Solstice VE3 and TRAC-5, is designed to serve as a standard all-round weapon, with no exceptionally high stats in exchange for no particularly punishing stats, allowing it to function as a solid starting or jack-of-all-trades carbine.

The scope of attachments available for the AF-19 Mercenary is limited compared to the NC2 Gauss Compact,however, the AF-19 Mercenary starts with the red dot variant of the TekLyte Reflex unlocked, as well as the Laser Sight, serving as a suitable all-round starter carbine for a fresh Light Assault or Engineer.

TekLyte Reflex (1x) Auto Granted		TekLyte's standard reflex sight allows for superior close-range target acquisition over traditional iron sights. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
GD RefleXR (2x) 9 OR 5 (Red Dot) 49 OR 30		The RefleXR from Genudine Dynamics includes 2x magnification, making it the preferred sight for urban combat scenarios. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.

TrueShot (4x) 49 OR 30		The TrueShot makes use of a simple crosshair and 4x magnification. Its lightweight 'box' housing obscures less than typical scopes of its class.
