The B-28 Nailer battle rifle is the standard issue weapon for Trojans of the Terran Dominion military.
The B-28 is a Railgun rather than a Gauss gun. It is compatible with most ammunition used by C-14s, but carries a smaller clip when using specialized ammunition. To compensate for the trade-off in chip size, the battle rifle has higher range, accuracy, and piercing damage. Because RTX Powered Combat Suits cannot transfer power, the B-28 rifle must rely on its own personal fusion battery to provide approximately 30% more stopping power than the C-14 Gauss rifle.
Just like the Gauss rifle (1st Variant), the B-28 can be equipped with a RPG, laser designator, and Neosteel bayonet. What separates the B-28 from the standard C-14 is the additional H39-scope. The H39 can increase the user's sight from 4X to 8X normal. This lets the B-28 double as a sniper rifle, hence the designation Nailer.
