M4 SOPMOD II - "SOP-II"

SOP-II is the youngest member of the famed AR (Anti-Rain) team and by far the most violent of them all, going so far to even be dubbed "The notorious T-Doll sadist on the battlefield" by her older sister (and team leader) M4A1.

In addition to this she's the Doll with the highest parts modularity in her entire team, allowing her to replace lost limbs on the fly, if required.

When it comes to impression and personality design, she was developed with a young demon in mind, providing a sense of unrealistic impression. Hoping to give viewers an sense of 'Cute' and 'Scary' at the same time.

Her entire design concept revolves around 'Modification' and 'Destruction'.

M4 SOPMOD Block II Assault Rifle

Note that name M4 SOPMOD II name refers to two things: M4 Carbine (the assault rifle) and SOPMOD II (the accessory kit set issued to special operative units of the United States Army such as the Delta Force, Navy Seals and Army Rangers).

The M4 carbine assault rifle developed from M16A2 and chambering 5.56×45mm NATO is air-cooled, direct impingement gas-operated, and magazine-fed. It has a 14.5 inch (370 mm) barrel and a telescoping stock. The M4 carbine is heavily used by the United States Armed Forces and replaced the M16 rifle in most of the United States Army and United States Marine Corps combat units as the primary infantry weapon.

U.S. Special Operations Command (US SOCOM) developed the Special Operations Peculiar Modification (SOPMOD) Block I kit for the carbines used by units under its jurisdiction. The kit features an M4A1, a Rail Interface System (RIS) handguard developed by Knight's Armament Company, a shortened quick-detachable M203 grenade launcher and leaf sight, a KAC sound suppressor, a KAC back-up rear sight, an Insight Technologies AN/PEQ-2A visible laser/infrared designator, a Trijicon's ACOG TA-01NSN model and Reflex sights, and a night-vision sight. This kit was designed to be configurable (modular) for various missions, and is currently in service with special operations units.

A second-generation SOPMOD kit (now known as SOPMOD II) includes innovative optics, such as the Elcan Specter DR, Trijicon's ACOG TA-31 ECOS model, and the Eotech 553. Block II uses the RIS II rails manufactured by Daniel Defense in both 9.5 and 12.5 length.

M203 grenade launcher

The M203 is a single-shot 40 mm under-barrel grenade launcher designed to attach to a rifle. It uses the same rounds as the older stand-alone M79 break-action grenade launcher, which utilizes the High-Low Propulsion System to keep recoil forces low. Quite versatile and compatible with many rifle models, the M203 was originally designed for the U.S. M16 and its variant, the M4 carbine. The launcher can also be mounted onto a C7, a Canadian version of the M16 rifle; however, this requires the prior removal of the bottom handguard.

Stand-alone variants of the M203 exist, as do versions designed specifically for many other rifles. The device attaches under the barrel, the launcher trigger being in the rear of the launcher, just forward of the rifle magazine. The rifle magazine functions as a hand grip when firing the M203. A separate sighting system is added to rifles fitted with the M203, as the rifle's standard sights are not matched to the launcher. The version fitted to the Canadian C7 has a sight attached to the side of the launcher, either on the left or right depending on the user's needs.

Ingame stats regarding her M203:

Dinergate-Type RO

Although the Dinergate no longer has RO's digi-mind in it, the Dinergate itself now serves as SOP-II's Electronic Warfare Kit.

During the events of Chapter 11, RO (who received a new body) was caught off guard after seeing that SOP-II brought the Dinergate along during their mission.

It was also amusingly named "Banana" by SOP-II, and was registered as a pet to deceive security.

Cybernetic left arm (Sangvis Ferri)

Heavily damaged during the events of Chapter 10E, SOP-II was forced to repair herself using damaged Sangvis Ferri technology in order to survive.

After receiving several upgrades from Persica said limb proved to be strong enough to snap a human's arm like a twig as later seen in Chapter 11, where SOP-II 'accidentally' swats the arm of a woman away using full strength, seeing as she was about to assault her.

Glock 18c

The Glock 18 is a selective-fire variant of the Glock 17, developed at the request of the Austrian counter-terrorist unit EKO Cobra, and as a way to internally test Glock components under high strain conditions.
Originally produced in 1986, this machine pistol–class firearm has a lever-type fire-control selector switch, installed on the serrated portion of the rear left side of the slide.
With the selector lever in the bottom position, the pistol fires fully automatically, and with the selector lever in the top position, the pistol fires semiautomatically. The firearm is typically used with an extended 33-round-capacity magazine, although other magazines from the Glock 17 can be used, with available capacities of 10, 17, or 19 rounds. Unlike all its other pistols, Glock is highly secretive about Glock 18 models, not including them on its official websites or its public catalogues, and because of the pistol's nature, it is only offered to military, law enforcement and government organizations, and its production details are highly classified. Early Glock 18 models were ported to reduce muzzle rise during automatic fire. A very early design introduced a longer ported barrel which was soon discarded as it would not fit in a holster.

Another compensated variant was produced, known as the Glock 18C. It has a keyhole opening cut into the forward portion of the slide, similar to the opening on the Glock long-slide models, although the Glock 18 has a standard-length slide. The keyhole opening provides an area to allow the four, progressively larger (from back to front) compensator cuts machined into the barrel to vent the propellant gases upwards, affording more control over the rapid-firing machine pistol.

The compensator cuts start about halfway back on the top of the barrel. The two rear cuts are narrower than the two front cuts. The slide is hollowed, or dished-out, in a rectangular pattern between the rear of the ejection port and the rear sight. The rate of fire in fully automatic mode is around 1,100–1,200 rounds per minute. Most of the other characteristics are equivalent to the Glock 17, although the slide, frame, and certain fire-control parts of the Glock 18 are not interchangeable with other Glock models.

Pre-MOD III

At the point where Girls' Frontline picks up SOP-II has already performed several modifications on her own body.

A black hoodie Jacket covers most of her body, while having essentials such as ammo pouches, a radio and some extra hip protection attached to it.
The red band wrapped around her left arm sports both the emblem of Anti-Rain, as well as Sangvis Ferri (For unknown reasons).

In addition to this she's wearing a slightly damaged black headset and a skull bandana around her neck.

Her lower body is merely protected by a miniskirt, and thigh high boots.

Regarding modifications:

Aside from bleaching her own hair her left hand, approximately up to her elbow, was replaced by a prosthetic with extremely pointy digits, allowing her to easily tear through enemy Dolls during close quarters combat.

A closer look to the hand clearly shows the emblem of Sangvis Ferri next to her thumb, leading to the conclusion that this prosthetic was removed from a Sangvis unit at some point.

Post-MOD III

Most of her attire has drastically changed during SOP-II's transition to MOD III.

Her hoodie jacket was replaced by a longer, tattered black coat held together by red straps whilst sporting different sleeve lengths.
This effectively exposes her new left arm, whilst covering up her right.

Underneath this coat she's simply wearing a zipped tank top and hotpants - the tank top most likely being a must-have due to the "access port" for Banana, which protrudes from her chest.

Her bandana was replaced by a metallic neck guard (?), and her ammunition pouches were moved from the right to the left, right atop of a red patch that sports Anti-Rain's emblem.

Both her boots and headset barely saw any change, aside from the addition of tribals on the right foot, and her full name on the upper part of the left boot.
