Unlike its Yumi predecessor, the NSX Kuwa will, after a short windup, release a torrent of accurate, high caliber rounds down range until the trigger is released. This weapon is a hybrid rifle, available to Engineer, Combat Medic, and Heavy Assault classes.

The Nanite Systems Export Kuwa is a variant of the NSX Yumi, sharing the same design philosophy. Though inheriting the same lengthy windup upon trigger pull, the Kuwa trades the rapid high damage bursts for a slightly less lethal but fully automatic torrent of bullets, with decreased potency at range.
The NSX Kuwa is currently the only hybrid rifle available to players, a unique assault rifle class that is additionally available to Engineers and Heavy Assaults by default, rather than solely locked to the use of Combat Medics.
NSX Kuwa: Unlike most weaponry purchased with A7, the NSX Kuwa's attachments are purchased with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash like regular guns.
Many soldiers choose Nanite Systems' popular Illuminated Combat Optic series over stock iron sights for superior target acquisition in both close quarters and low-light situations. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
Nanite Systems' laser-assisted gunsight is perfect for situations that need a little more range than a standard reflex scope. The LANS uses a simple red dot reticule with 3.4x magnification.
A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.

It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the NSX Kuwa. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
The NSX Kuwa is likely named after a Japanese weapon that is loosely based on a hoe—a kuwa. It could also be named after the mulberry plant, also referred to in Japanese as a kuwa (though which has a different kanji symbol).
Prior to the _Integration update, only the NSX-A Kuwa variant of this weapon was available, and it was unlocked upon completion of the Master Assault Weapons directive—thus making it available solely to Nanite Systems Operatives.
NSO has also received new Directive Weapons available in all-new weapon directive trees, as well as rocket launcher offerings. Previous NSX-A weaponry will remain as legacy items for pre-existing NSO characters that were able to unlock them, and new non-auraxium NSX versions of these weapons have made their way to the Black Market.
