STRENGTHS
- Utility: The Firelance is lightweight, easy to assemble or repair, and reliable for its cost. All these qualities make it prized among bounty hunters, criminals, and rebel guerillas. It performs like a military rifle but feels like a carbine.
- Effective Stun: Particularly among hunters and other 'freelance law enforcement', GLXs are known for their potent stun settings. Most targets will drop even if they're armored.
- Magazine Count: Firelances are power hungry and consume twice as much power as most standard blasters. A generic power cell is only good for up to fifty shots, and gas cartridges only hold two hundred fifty.
- Bullpup: The GLX's power cell is stored behind the trigger. This makes the rifle more compact but somewhat awkward to reload.
Originally marketed as 'the most effective weapon for freelance law enforcement officials', SoroSuub's GLX Firelance is a military blaster rifle in everything but name. One form or another of the Firelance has existed for hundreds of years. Each iteration has maintained the blaster's simple bullpup design and a heavy duty stun setting guaranteed to take down tough guys. Most importantly the Firelance lacks any standard corporate or governmental markings which makes them effectively untraceable.
The GLX is a lightweight piece of equipment, often compared to carbines and ideal for lugging over difficult terrain. While not quite as popular as the A280 series of blasters, Firelances are a common sight in the Outer Rim. They are notably used by both the Sullustan Home Guard and Partisan guerillas.
