|quotetext=The Type 89 is one of many 5.56mm combat rifles available in the Mazes. This one offers compatibility with STANAG magazines and the M9 bayonet, a four-position fire selector (safe, semi, burst, auto), and an integrated bipod. The rifle's overall length, handguard , and stock were designed with people of relatively short stature in mind, so that it could be comfortable for them to shoot while still performing just as adequately as other rifles of the same caliber. For many, particularly short-statured youkai, it meant finally having a comfortable upgrade from submachine guns; in turn, they came to give this rifle a nickname: '''Buddy'''.
