Harbinger
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Targeting Laser
- The targeting laser projects a precise point of aim onto the target, giving him an immediate visual reference of where the weapon is aligned. As a result, the user can acquire targets faster and place shots more accurately, especially in low-visibility conditions.
- Attachable Bayonet
- The small bayonet is designed to lock into place with a single, decisive motion. Once attached, it becomes a seamless extension of the weapon, immediately ready for close-quarters combat.
- Modified Marksman Barrel
- The modified marksman barrel uses improved harmonics to stabilize the weapon's projectile more efficiently despite its shorter length. The result is a compact barrel that preserves velocity and precision, delivering accuracy comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, that of longer traditional barrels.
- Autosteady Gyro-Gimbal
- The attachment redistributes weight along the weapon's frame, improving balance and keeping the sights steady during target acquisition. By dampening recoil forces and guiding them more evenly through the body of the rifle, it allows the shooter to recover faster and maintain consistent follow-up shots.
- Hair Trigger
- The hair trigger requires only minimal pressure to activate, reducing the time and effort needed between shots. This heightened responsiveness allows the shooter to fire more rounds in rapid succession without disrupting aim or rhythm.
- Thermal / Optical Imaging Scope
- The thermal optical imaging scope overlays heat signatures onto the standard macrobinocular view, allowing targets to be detected through darkness, smoke, or concealment. Its internal processor projects range, targeting markers, and ballistic data directly onto the scope's lens, presenting critical information in real time without requiring the user to break sight picture.
- Collapsible Forearm Grip
- The collapsible forearm grip locks into place beneath the barrel, giving the shooter a firm secondary point of contact that reduces muzzle sway and dampens recoil. By stabilizing the rifle's forward end, it allows for steadier aim and tighter shot grouping, especially during sustained or rapid fire.
- Damage
- The blaster rifle channels an energy bolt, upon impact, can penetrate through most armor types, metals, and alloys before the material can disperse the energy.
- Durability
- The blaster rifle is built around a hardened metal frame and an alloy that prevents a meltdown of the barrel during continuous firing. Inside, the intricate mechanical and moving parts are formed from another durable metal.
WEAKNESSES
- Weight
- The weight of the weapon is heavy, a contradiction to its size, making the use of the rifle more applicable to be used by someone with a healthier strength composition.
- Ammo Capacity
- For a weapon of this magnitude, the ammo load is small and compromising.
The blaster rifle was engineered with a singular focus on maximizing destructive output while maintaining structural integrity, marrying an powerful energy core with a reinforced metal chassis. Every internal component is braced and insulated to survive the immense stress generated by each discharge, ensuring that the weapon can deliver punishing firepower without tearing itself apart.
This emphasis on power and durability gives the rifle a fearsome presence on the battlefield, projecting reliability even under sustained and hostile conditions.
Yet this philosophy comes with deliberate trade-offs; the energy cell is compact, limiting overall ammunition capacity, and the dense materials required to contain the weapon's output add considerable weight.
- Material:
- Titanium
- Main metal in the manufacturing of the weapon's intricate inner parts and mechanisms.
- Dallorian Alloy
- Alloy used for the barrel, allows for the weapon to continuously fire without the concern of melting from the high temperatures.
- Madog Steel
- The main and overall metal used in the construction of the weapon, giving it both a high durability and near unbreakable status.
- Titanium
