Soviet weaponry is easily distinguished from the other races as being relatively crude, bulky but infinitely reliable.

The Soviet faction Groups their weapons in this manner:
Weapons with AK in their names indicate that they are bullet weapons, GHK include autocannons and shotguns. LZR is used to designate laser type weapons and TSL is used for Tesla type armaments.  Other less common designations include RKT
The model number also reflects the generation, tier and type of the weapon:
Example The AK-532 'Commie Gun'. '5' = Generation, '3' = Type (Assault rifle) 2 = High end/Low end

AK-532
'Commie gun'

The AK-532 is a generic assault rifle made from various other outdated weapon designs, most notably the receiver and barrel assembly of a G3 battle rifle. Despite its rag-tag construction it is highly dependable, far outliving their owners. These are usually issued in mammoth numbers to conscripts. Outside the Soviet empire, the weapon is often known simply as the 'Commie Gun'

GHK -883 Auto shotgun


Even the weaker than wimps conscripts require some form of close combat weapon other then attempting to hit the enemy with one of their severed limbs. The GHK-883 shotgun is a belt fed, gas operated automatic shotgun capable of 250 RPM. It is highly distinguishable thanks to its 'blunderbuss' style barrel which is intended to significantly increase the noise of the weapon.

The AK-844 Tact-ops is a specialized low consumption battle rifle. Despite lacking an auto fire mode, it is considered superior to the Commie gun in every other way. It fires the full power 8.7mm round up to a range of 1000M. It can be equipped with a laser designator and a medium range scope. This weapon is often the weapon of choice for Scouts, even though these employ the weapons only in self defense. Several examples have been found in what seems like inconceivable physical damage yet will function as if brand new. It is also the preferred weapon of Commisar General Amon Soldavich. His own personal weapon has served on the icy worlds inhabited by the Gorgoliths to the hellish plasma infernos raging across the Sun.

TSL-862

The TSL-862 is a tesla suit mounted electrostatic based weapon. It is a short range weapon designed to deal with heavy infantry as well as vehicles, although vehicles are normally the target of single bolt discharge weapons as opposed to the multiple arcing seen in the 896 model. It is powered by a relatively small FBCFG (Francium based cold fusion generator) located inside all Tesla suits and thus has an estimated combat time of 72 hours before requiring a recharge. It is capable of discharging dozens of tesla arcs at a monstrous current of 40 Kiloampers as well as reaching a temperature of 75.000 Kelvin, sufficient to turn the air around it into a plasma

Despite it being the basic model of Minigun, it is still just that, a minigun. Its characteristic chainsaw like sound and the terrifying sound of hundreds of rounds impacting the ground, can cause even well trained soldiers to flee in terror. The AK-696 Minigun is lightweight for a heavy weapon, weighing in at less then 14KG unloaded. It is often attatched to a heavy cylindrical backpack containing up to 8500 rounds of 6mm ammunition, from which it feeds directly via non-disintegrating belt. Like most miniguns, the Ak-696 is intended to relieved unbelievable amounts of firepower, and as such, accuracy is not that important. Its 4.7mm round does not have much penetrating power, although this is compensated by firing 30 of them a second. Its real drawback is the limited range the round offers, less then lethal at 200 meters. This weapon is only issued to Minigunners.

AK 898 Grand Minigun

A High-end minigun used by veteran minigunners, it use armor piercing bullets, It is expensive so it’s only given to veterans

The mother of heavy ballistic weapons, this monstrosity fires massive 15mm armor piercing rounds at a ludicrous 2500 Rounds per minute. Unlike most miniguns, it has 8 barrels instead of 6, due to overheating problems with the heavy ammunition. The gun weighs in at a healthy 24KG unloaded and like with most miniguns, it is often attached to a heavy cylindrical backpack, however due to the much larger ammo, only 3750 may be carried. The gun is manufcatured completely from a Tungsten-Uranium alloy which makes it extremely costly to produce, however due to the mammoth force generated by 35 15mm Rounds fired every second, this is a must, unless you want it to blow up in your face. As an added bonus, the gun very rarely needs cleaning and jamming is considered an impossibility. Like most miniguns, it is also a highly effective psychological weapon. The sound it makes upon firing is comprable to hundreds of explosions happening every second. The heavy 15mm armor piercing bullets often blow up and disintegrate upon impact, releasing a shower of sparks and thunderous noise. Due to the reasons mentioned above, the gun is only available to the most battle hardened of Minigunners

Heavy Directed energy weapon employing gatling style rotating barrels housing separate prism assemblies, hence its designation as minigun. Issued to miniguners in situations were regular ballistics just won't cut it (no pun intended). Enter the 75Megwatt Erbium based chemical laser generator. Aside from firing distinctive Purple-Pink beams of lethal laser light, this experimental core generates power at insane levels, however it is most stable at 65-70 Megwatts, due to severe overheating problems. The highly destructive nature of t his weapon make it the perfect one man army hand cannon. As an added bonus, it is almost 100% accurate with negligible recoil. Its only significant drawback is extreme cost, half the cost of a small spaceship per gun.

The soviets here have tried to produce a cheap laser minigun but failed, This model uses cheap materials which make is unreliable to use, it also has some design flaws. After a lot of experiments, the soviets canned this model]

An attempt to make Laser miniguns cheap to manufacture. All that this experimental weapon proved is that is no such thing as a cheap laser minigun. Its extensive use of sub-grade Steel and plastics as well as inferior quality prisms made the weapon not only unreliable, but a hazard to the user, I mean seriously this thing can literally blow up in your face. After battle testing and limb sever ages later, the model was canned, however they can be found in the hands of resistance or criminal organizations as a cheap alternative to the LZR-897

Meet the AK-879, the undisputed king of long range and utterly over sized sniper rifles. Almost the size of a human being, it's bolt is almost the size of a human hand, its barrel can be used to unclog toilets and most impressive of all is the bullet it fires. The 25mm or (.105 caliber) bullet can penetrate any infantry armor in existence. A well placed shot can even kill a medium tank's crew. The round also has a lethal range exceeding 6kilometers, of course the user has to be incredibly skilled t o fire at this range.

PLS 828 Plasma Machinegun

[A very powerful weapon that is used to melt armor off armored infantry, it is used  lot however it can overheat in high temperatures (like the sun itself)]

A rarity in the Soviet arsenal. Mostly derived of stolen NATO technology, the PLS 828 is a heavy, automatic, anti armor directed energy weapon harnessing the raw thermal power of synthetic plasma. The weapon functions by plasma injection operation. Plasma is created in the Generation chamber via a miniature Technetium Nuclear fusion core (TNFC). This plasma is then 'Injected' into the firing chamber, where the powerful neodymium based magnets that keep it stable, shut off and a different set of magnets kick in to propel it down a  depleted-uranium barrel. Once streaming down the barrel, a small amount of neodymium is transformed into a plasma state and is carried with the rest of the synthetic plasma, forming a relatively slow moving plasma projectile. This cycle is repeated every time the weapon fires at a rate of 400-500 shots a minute, the drastic variation being attributed to differences in atmospheric conditions. Being based off stolen technology, Soviet technicians have not yet been able to produce a version which could vent excess heat. As a result, the weapon will overheat and possibly rupture if it is fired in extensive bursts. It is also unusable in extreme thermal environments such as on the Sun. It is also unusable on worlds with no magnetic fields.
