Was that what the gentleman was referring to? Anyways he's right though, the weapon seen most often carried by Brittanian troops is a cross between a FAMAS and a P90. We must keep in mind though that in Geass, gunpowder is replaced by electro-magnetic propulsion, which changes alot of things: Much lighter and takes up less space to carry ammunition being just one.

There's no demonstration of Combined Arms in Code Geass. Seems that the prevailing doctrine is that Knightmares rule, period, which I don't buy but alas the traditional fetish of invicinble and omni-capable humanoid robots must be satisfied.
