 * Prior to B20, the C8 alongside the C7 were the most controllable infantry weapons in the game, giving Canadian infantry an immense advantage in firefights.
 * As of B20, the C79A2 ELCAN scope can now be adjusted to fit different ranges. By default, it's ranged for 200 meters and can be ranged up to 800 meters. This makes the Canadian Army the only faction in the game with adjustable rifle scopes aside from the sniper rifles.
