Description:


The Spectre was primarily designed in mind to serve as the main assault rifle for the Firebats. Its aim was to provide the elite commando unit with effective ways to take out their targets. A firing mode selector was implemented in that aspect to enable the operator to switch between the semi-automatic and automatic modes at will without any hassle.

The semi automatic mode provides the operator with more accuracy with his/her shots, enabling for more precise aiming. The automatic mode proves able to prove the operator and his allies with decent fire support and suppression, delivering its duty on the battlefield. The Spectre is extremely reliable and responsive, and does its job as an anti-personnel weapon extremely well.

The appearance of the Spectre was designed to focus more on a functional design that still retained a certain amount of likeability within its aesthetic. Its angular design is meant to remind the operator of its reliability and efficiency and its trueness to its self. It is then coated with a black matte finishing that further enhances its appearance, a great boon for lovers of the colour black.

The core concept is solid, and everything statistically looks well-balanced. Just two things.

Gas compensator for reduced muzzle drift

On a real-world firearm, a gas compensator redirects propellant gases from the cartridge exiting a barrel. Blasters do not have propellant gases coming out of their barrels, so there really isn't anything that a gas compensator would do for a blaster rifle.

The good news is that there really isn't the need for a compensator, as blasters don't really have significant recoil. If you've fired a .22 LR before, recoil and muscle flip is theoretically something like that. Here is an article on that if you're interested in the actual physics behind it.

Manufacturer: Greta Kohler

Typically for minor production, unless you're thinking about making these in very, very small semi-unique batches, it needs a manufacturing company. If you have any friends with one, I'd recommend talking to them to see if you could use their company to produce it. Alternatively, I'd suggest picking out an unused canon company to manufacture them (Like BlasTech, Drearian Defense, etc).

Updated.

I have changed manufacturer to Merr-Sonn Munitions Inc. and removed the Gas compensator.
