Maverick Industries

Founded in 1855 A.D., USA.

Maverick was created by Sebastian Maverick and it is known for its prowess in the firearm world, producing some of the most iconic models ever made, including the Maverick Single Action, the Maverick AR-10 and AR-15 platforms and the Maverick 1911, later known as the Classique. With many firearms achievements under its belt, Maverick also holds the record of the longest military contract in the world.

In 2002, a new branch was created, being called ‘Maverick Defense’, making it easier for civilians to buy. The US Rifle Ordinance contract being lost in 2013 caused the company to go bankrupt in 2015, being acquired by Johnson & Briar for a time, and eventually by ZC Holdings in 2021. In 2038, the company was bought wholesale by an investor group, returning to be fully independent. The company produces an incredible amount of firearms, including pistols, revolvers, rifles and grenade launchers, and still holds the trademark for the name ‘AR-10’ and ‘AR-15’, despite the design being able to copied by many other manufacturers.

Weapons Featured in Operation Eclipse

Maverick Sparrow

Type: Handgun / Revolver

If you need a gun that can do its job quickly and swiftly, the Maverick Sparrow is the revolver for you. Being a large frame double-action magnum revolver, the Sparrow was strangely a late-comer to the market, being the first magnum caliber revolver made by the company. Initially discontinued before the end of the previous century, Maverick brought it back in 2021, and it only received minor updates since, being a tiny bit stronger with a better metal alloy for the frame and with better sights than the previous models.

Maverick M4A3 Carbine

Type: Carbine Rifle

Once known as the most iconic rifle of the 21st Century, the M4A3 Carbine (also known as the SAM [Sporter Assault Model] 465) turned out to be a lackluster update made by Maverick to stay relevant as the world was moving to gas-operated short-stroke systems.

Despite rumors at the time, Maverick decided to not update the rifle, keeping it the same way as before. The lack of updates to the platform made many in the community to believe the new version to be very dated and prompted the US Military to order a new US Rifle Ordinance Contract to look for a new infantry rifle, eventually leading to the decision of dumping the M4A3 for a new rifle, adding to its reputation as a ‘loser’.

While there were no meaningful updates to the rifle, this meant that old parts could work without any issues, meaning it was quickly picked up by paramilitaries, armies and police forces that wanted to replace the old M4A1, without losing any parts compatibility.
