Despite the long success of the Lancelot Mk V, the Rabid Foxes of House Davion's MI6 organization needed something more. The first design requirement was for ammunition compatibility with the infamous Federated Barret M42B. This rechambering required little more than a barrel change, but enough to prevent barrels being swapped between the two weapons without the intervention of a gunsmith. The second requirement took a bit more work. Adding a reliable three-round burst capability proved trickier, but doable, and didn't even require a change of optics to maintain the Lancelot's accuracy.
