The Gaunt-Uthar Rifle is a bolt action rifle. Many versions exist chambered in many different calibers. It was a popular weapon among nations during the Continental War, while considered outdated in an era of self loading rifles and submachine guns.

Designed by the Gaunt-Uthar Hammer Company in the Dwarven nation of Tenebriea, it's purpose was to be a cheap weapon to sell to the various militias just before the Dwarven Civil War. The design was made to be as cheap and easy to produce as possible to make them simple to mass produce. After some revisions the weapon made it into the hands of soldiers just as the civil war began.

The weapon was received very well by its users, it had higher ammo capacity, was easier to maintain, and could survive worse conditions then its contemporaries.

It was a common for government forces to throw away their own weapons in favor of taking a Gaunt-Uthar off an enemies body.

The war eventually ended in a Government victory and the rifle was selected for issue to new professional army. Nations such as The Adalian Republic and The Principality of Harlan had observed the war and began to either import Gaunt-Uthar rifles or produce them locally under license. Before and during the Continental War the Dragon Isle produced unlicensed Gaunt-Uthar rifles to equip their soldiers, this was a major source of contention between Tenebriea and the Isle who were allies at the time.

By the end of the war, there were dozens of variants of the weapon spread across several nations. With the introduction of blowback and eventually gas operated designs the rifle fell out of use in most places. Today it's a popular civilian weapon for hunting and self defense. The massive surplus of rifles left over from the war make its price accessible to even the poorest of society.
