Every good sniper rifle has a good sniper. One they use and trust all the time. However, there are many who are conflicted on getting a slugthrower sniper rifle, and a Blaster. Here is the solution. With a conversion kit, one can have a blaster, or a slugthrower sniper rifle in a few easy steps.
First off, the main frame and mechanics are made of durasteel. Strong enough to be tested, thrown down in the dirt and mud, to be picked up, and still usable. While the forearm, butt, and railing are all made out of carbon fiber to still have comfort, as well as stability. This is also much lighter than having the entire weapon made out of durasteel. Making it easier to move about the battlefield, as well as walking long distances.
The modularity of the sniper rifle is one that you would find with just about any other kind you can buy. Scopes can be changed out. Suppressors can be added on. Even the shoulder pads on the butt stock can be changed out to provide more comfort for the user.
What is so special about the Ghost, is the ability to change between a blaster, and a slughthrower in a short time. With a conversion kit that changes out the barrel, firing components, as well as the internal wiring all in one piece. By taking apart the rifle stock, and removing the scope, one can take the entire series of components and replace it with the other. As simple as putting it back together, and loading it up to work.
However, the down side to this, is that this cannot be easily done in battle. Dirt and debris can get into the chamber and gum everything up. It can scratch the internal workings, and cause the rifle to malfunction. Even to severe cases of causing a stuck round in the chamber for the slugthrower, or blowing up in your hands if used with the blaster.
This process also takes specific tools to take apart. No jimmying it open with your trusty knife here bub. In fact, this voids the warranty on the product. Because of moving parts, and possibly losing screws, parts can be replaced, but take a long time to do so. As well, both kinds of ammo needs to be available to use for both conversions.
