Armorer is an enlisted technical specialty or rating utilized by the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps.

Description

Most Marines never forget the memories of when they were issued their first rifle at recruit training, including how they learned basic rifle assembly, disassembly, cleaning and operation of the rifle.

The Marines behind the caged window of the armory that issued the rifle may have been forgotten, but throughout the Marine Corps small-arms repairers and technicians, or armorers, remain a key component to mission success. The Marines are the first line of Maintenance for all Marine weapons. The Armorers are the second and last line of field maintenance. Armorers further the Marine Corps’ mission through maintenance and inspection, and by accounting for weapons used in exercises, deployments and military police operations. They repair electrical, electronic, molytronic, hydraulic and mechanical systems, and make detailed casualty analysis. They test ammunition, missiles, and their ordnance components. Armorers train and supervise personnel in the handling and stowage of ammunition, missiles, and assigned ordnance equipment. They are also trained in small arms (pulsers, plasma rifles, flechette guns, and others), crew served weapons (tribarrels, plasma guns, SAM's, and grenade launchers), pyrotechnics, hand grenades, non-lethal weapons, force protection and anti-terrorism. They also operate shooting ranges and armories and are responsible for the storage and issue of ammunition. Supporting separate and diverse units provides a unique opportunity for armorers to interact with the wide variety of firearms used throughout the Marine Corps' [1]
