Unfinished/Incomplete/Work in progress.
DISCLAIMER: companies that design, create and/or manufacture firearms, to my knowledge, do NOT endorse their firearms being on this list, & the users of these firearms listed here are purely fictional.
Over the years, Cascadia has fought to defend its independence from the central banks. To help in this, the government looked at designs from around the world, and improved on them and added features.
Note: almost all manual action rifles had K98 “German style” sights, along with a bayonet mount if the original didn’t, & bolt action rifles had curved bolt handles if the originals didn’t.
Every long-gun will be equipped with a brown sling or, later on, camouflaged slings.
Also, even when export is permitted, most firearms go to civilians and the export of firearms to foreign governments are rarely permitted.
This list will not include artillery pieces.

1897-1936:
Mauser C96 carbine chambered for 7.62x25mm with a detachable magazine, detachable stock, select-fire, and finned barrel.
M1899.
It's based on the Mauser 98 action, but a few differences from the Mauser was a modified bolt handle & cock-on-close action to make it faster to fire, using the same magazine as the Browning Automatic Rifle would later use, coming standard with a scope mount, having a threaded-on muzzle brake, having an Arisaka-style monopod, & having checkering on the stock's pistol grip & on the hollowed out bolt knob.
Remington Model 8 in .25 Remington with 25 round detachable magazine.
Winchester 1907 with select-fire, 20 round magazine, and ejection port cover.
1921-1950’s submachinegun: Cascadian Thompson in 7.62x25mm, with a folding stock similar to the later M1A1 carbine and usually issued with a 100 round drum.
It was supplemented by the SIG MKMS in 7.63x25mm for crewed weapon & vehicle crews.
In 1939, in response to the influx of refugees in Europe who have little to no hands-on experience with firearms, the Cascadian government wanting to save a little money, & thanks to the capture & import of a German MP-38 by Military Intelligence, the SMG-39 was born. The SMG-39 is essentially what the MP-40 would have been if it was chambered for 7.62x25mm.
1936-1952:In 1939, in response to the influx of refugees in Europe who have little to no hands-on experience with firearms, the Cascadian government wanting to save a little money, & thanks to the capture & import of a German MP-38 by Military Intelligence, the SMG-39 was born.

M1 carbine with forward pistol grip and retracting wire stock.
Sturmgewehr 43/44 (captured, in limited use).
Sturmgewehr 45.
1953-1995:
FN FAL sand cuts in the bolt and receiver, a large charging handle that can be used as a forward assist (like the Israeli FAL), sand cuts on the receiver, bolt, & bolt carrier, a top cover that allows the use of stripper clips and loading loose rounds, a Galil-style folding stock, folding trigger guard to use with Arctic mitts, large magazine release, large bolt catch, & large safety lever. Threaded heavy barrels were generally used with lengths from 8 to 22 inches. Most handguards were like the Israeli FAL with the addition of either a Galil-style bipod or, on post-1965 rifles, side-mounted bipods to fit the XM148 grenade launcher.
Supplied accessories are an L1A1 style folding charging handle, and an L1A1 style stock with a hooked buttplate.
A small number of modernized variants are still in storage to send to troops facing ammunition shortages for 7.62x51/.308.
The NATNWO version has an ambidextrous four-position "safe, semi, 2/3 round burst, & fully-automatic" trigger group, free-floating match barrel, tungsten filled bolt carrier, heavy recoil buffer, reinforcing rods on the receiver, extended magazine release, extended charging handle, forward assist, shell deflector, bolt finger grooves, target-style pistol grip, & folding carrying handle.
Each individual firearm is also supplied with two stocks, being a four-position sliding stock, an adjustable stock, along with extended selector levers, & two hand-guards, one ventilated slim & one with a bipod.
Both with modernized features (mainly being rails) are, even after the 1990's, are still in limited use for personnel that are in absolute need to have compact rifles.

Combat uniforms:
Since its war for independence began, the Cascadian armed forces (military, law enforcement, & civilian militia combined) always had troops wear "coyote brown" uniforms with black buttons.
In the mid 19th century, combat uniforms were made out of denim started to be issued as that they were more durable & better suited for rough military & paramilitary usage.
Later in the 19th century, more modern cotton tunics were in use.
In the early 20th century, cargo pants & a uniform shirt. It is similar to the real-world British Army's later Series 95 No.9 Tropical Combat dress in cut, but has different features, being;
Both:
. BDU-style covered buttons.
Shirt:
. Shoulder straps.
. Rounded collars that can be turned up into a standing collar, & closable with a button.
. Several breathing holes in the armpits.
. Angled bicep pockets.
. Cuff with internal button.
. Optional triple pencil holders on forearms.
Pants:
. Diamond crotch.
. Large bellowed side cargo pockets with inverted pleats.
. Bellowed rear pockets.
. Front slash pockets.
. Bellowed "pistol magazine" pockets over slip pockets on thighs & calfs.
. Reinforced knees. Since the 1950's, reinforced knees had velcro closures to allow the insertion of internal knee pads.
. Reinforced seat.
. Blousing strings.
Material weight: 3.7 oz(?).
These were were adopted for general use. There were two main colors: coyote brown for ground-based wearers, & midnight blue for maritime wearers.
They also featured loops to attach brush to, a feature that later Cascadian derived uniform designs will have.
Along with this, white camouflage overwhites for use in snowy environments were also issued.
In the early 1930's, with the help of a German art professor known as "J. Schick", the Cascadian company ACME came out with a six-color camouflage pattern that was, aside perhaps from color shades being adjusted to fit Cascadian terrain better, very similar to World War two era Waffen-SS camouflage with patterns for all seasons.
There are also two similar variants, one for maritime use with only four colors, being dominant navy blue with deck gray, haze gray, & black, & a three-color variant for urban use, that is charcoal gray dominant with tan & sage green.
This camouflage pattern is designated as the "Dot Pattern Family", or DPF.
An experimental five-color version of the DFP in a color scheme similar to MultiCam was also produced for troops who are deployed to diverse environments &/or to troops who, for whatever reason, cannot practically have multiple specialized camouflage patterns on hand. This was soon replaced, however.
in 1947, a new pattern, designated the "Blob pattern", was introduced. It is identical to Mil-Tec's Arid Woodland pattern. It was more commonly used to camouflage vests, belts & like gear that would be impractical for militaries to change out for different environments.
When Nations Against the New World Order was founded, Cascadian military uniforms were donated to member countries plus printing machinery so member countries can print the patterns on their own.
In the late 1970's, the "combat shirt" was created, which was like combat fatigues but with a thinner t-shirt like torso to make it more comfortable to wear & a mandarin collar to protect against chafing from slings & vest straps.
In the late 1990's, ACME developed a camouflage pattern similar to real-life Hyperstealth US4CES family called "DigiFractalCam", with a total of fifteen patterns which are to be worn depending on the specific environment that they're to be used in.
Another 30 have been created mainly for commercial sales & for use by troops stationed at or operating in highly specific environments.
A digital maritime pattern was also made for wear in maritime environments in order to prevent personnel on the exterior of watercraft from potentially increasing their craft's infrared or radar signature or becoming targets. The blue-dominant pattern also hides the wearer when they fall into blue water to prevent them from being targeted by the enemy.
The "21st Century Work Uniform", the 21CWU, is identical to Crye Precision's G3 Combat Apparel. A fire resistant version is made out of 80% Modacrylic, 15% Viscose, 5% X-Static. An "Extra Light" variant is more similar to Beyond Clothing's A9-E, made out of a Cordura blend that contains at least 60% Egyptian cotton.
Trivia:
. The use of blue and gray dominant camouflage patterns for uniforms & gear worn by maritime personnel while underway (Naval, Coast Guard, & Marine boarding teams) was inspired by the articles Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) selects Hyperstealth's Camouflage for their Ground and Naval Uniforms & Get thrown into the water, you die in modern U.S. Navy/Abandon Ship! Prepare to Die!: How the U.S. Navy lives in Denial and is not ready for combat, which talks about the need for naval troops' uniforms to provide near-infrared resistance & to camouflage them while in the water to conceal them from enemies trying to kill them.
