- Particle Blaster: The ammo was redesigned with the modern conflict in mind. While the blaster on the surface looks like a normal blaster rifle, the shots it fires have a tendency to explode upon impact with material it can't pierce through.
- Field Tested: The weapon is designed with war in mind, every part having come from weapons already within the GA's arsenal, and thus parts are plentiful. The rifle itself is designed to withstand any environment, it's parts all tested thoroughly for their breaking points.
- Modular To the Extreme: The Talon II was designed to act as the GADF's new standard issue rifle, taking what Si Tech had learned since the release of the Claw and Talon I, and upgrading it to make it lighter and more customizable. While not as powerful as it's older brother at the cost of size, the Talon trades off pure stopping power for customizability, and mission adaptability. Able to be customized with any part or attachment the GADF has, the Talon II is designed to be compatible with it. Whether that be a scope, an underbarrel grenade
- Semi Or Full: Designed with the changes in battlefield conditions in mind, the Talon is capable of both full auto, and semi auto.
- Ion, Of Course: Just like it's contemporaries, the Talon comes with an ion function, allowing for stun strikes, and quick disabling of technology.
- Sealed System: To prevent the Talon II from taking in the muck of a battlefield, the system is entirely sealed internally, save for the removable ammunition, which has a tight seal. This makes the benefit of allowing the weapon to function entirely underwater, as well as making it practically impossible to get dirt inside.
- Hits Hard, Maybe Not Hard Enough: Unlike the Claw, the Talon was not designed as the most effective heavy hitter. Heavy Armor or Vehicles are gonna laugh at this weapon.
- Not Standard Issue: The weapon's design offers many opportunities for customization. If you decide to throw on your own personal stock or attachment, it's up to you to keep it repaired.
- Hefty: The Talon II, unlike it's older model, is a bit big in size. While this can be counteracted with a smaller barrel modification, it does mean you sacrifice the range.
- The S Word: Much like it's older brother, the Talon is loud. Stealth isn't exactly an option for this weapon. This can be fixed with a silencer, but you'll need to get one first.
Designed as a new standard for the GADF, the Talon II was designed as a mass produced version of the Talon I, built for modularity for any mission. While the trade off was a bit of hefty recoil, the Talon acts as the perfect weapon for the GADF's varied ability to respond to any situation. Designed to attach pretty much anything the GADF could possible hand to a grunt, the Talon II was designed to serve as the standard for the Galactic Alliance as a modular wonder of engineering, standardized for the average trooper to understand, and maintain.
