SPECIAL FEATURES

• Blaster Gas Conversion Chamber: This chamber allows any form of blaster gas to be used.
• Gas Cycling Mechanism: Once a power pack has been inserted into the port, the cycling mechanism must be pulled back to begin cycling the blaster gas through the weapon components. This is done to prevent weapon damage once a new power pack is activated.
• Textured Agrinium Grip: The grip of the blaster is made from Agrinium, a lightweight material which is textured to improve grip.
• Iron Sights: On-top of the weapon, there are both front and rear sights.
• Cautionary Pulser: The grip of the blaster will vibrate when low on ammunition.
• White Prismatic Crystal: Blaster bolts fired from the blaster are white as a result of the prismatic crystal.
• Reusable Power Pack: The specially made power packs can be refilled with blaster gas and energy.

STRENGTHS

• RELIABLE: Designed & manufactured for durability, the FDS-5R is a reliable, all-purpose blaster that will not malfunction during combat situations.
• DAMAGE: Good for both quality and quantity, the FDS-5R is capable of providing an excellent level of damage output.
• CAPACITY: As a result of the oversized gas magazine and power pack combination, the rifle can fire up to 600 bolts.

WEAKNESSES

• WEIGHT: Due to the blaster pack, the blaster is particularly hefty.
• RATE OF FIRE: Trading firing speed for power, the blaster shoots slower than most.
• OVERHEATING: Every now and again the blaster must cool down to avoid damaging the weapons system.
• UTILITARIAN: To reduce the price and improve the reliability of the blaster, there are limited quality of life components as the weapon is designed to be durable and reliable during use.

DESCRIPTION
Both deadly and durable, the FDS-5R is an exceptional blaster designed for any situation and is ideal for anyone looking for a balanced, well-rounded blaster rifle. Maintaining Fiora Defence System's ethos of high-quality weapon systems, the FDS-5R is an affordable, well-built and sturdy blaster weapons system that is useful in any situation and will rarely malfunction as a result of the quality of materials used and the lack of unnecessary components installed within the weapon system.

Although the weapon system is heavy compared to other blasters as a result of its large blaster pack, the ammunition capacity more than makes up for this as the weapon is able to fire around 600 bolts per pack. Avoiding unnecessary features, the weapon system is mainly operated by mechanical components, minus the blaster components, meaning that the blaster is easy to maintain and isn't likely to malfunction if looked after. Additionally, any type of blaster gas may be used within the blaster as a result of the gas conversion chamber with each blaster bolt coloured white as a result of the prismatic crystal installed within.
