Weapons
Strangely, personal weapons technology doesn't seem to have advanced much in 70 years. Most weapons these days still fire chemically-propelled slugs, but more and more weapons are Smartgun-rigged, use caseless ammo and computer-controlled recoil compensation along with polymer casing and caseless ammunition to improve relability, accuracy and ease of use.
Directed-Energy weapons and railguns are available, but are strictly government and corporate military use only.
Most rifles and smg's are bull-pup configuration, caseless and made from polymers. I say 'most', not all...There are still many 'antique' rifles, like M16s, AK74s, even a few SA-80s (still grudgingly in servive with the British army )
Energy weapons are not fully-developed yet, so are bulky and delicate.

Light damage. 15 round clip, semi-automatic. Cost: ¥300

Assault Rifle - Soviet AK97 - An old but reliable no-frills assault rifle, often available on the streets. AK98 with under-barrel Grenade launcher is ¥500 extra.

Heavy weaponry:
Daisaka ARM-60 light machinegun - Basically an assault rifle with a bipod, longer barrel and a 60-round drum instead of a magazine. They cost around 8,000 nuyen. Normally one is supplied to every Threat-Response team in an APC.
Or: Daisaka 'Kenshiro' Medium anti-armour weapon - a one-shot disposable rocket launcher, about powerful enough to blow up an APC, damage a Panzer or Gunship or de-track a light tank.
Of course, you need a security licence (bought only by Govt/Corp registered security forces) to buy one from them...
