  • Effective Range: Average (300 meters)
  • Rate of Fire: Low (Semi-Auto)
  • Damage Output: Very High

SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Hybrid Design Battle Rifle that combines a stripper clip with a lever action, greatly reducing reload times on lever action rifles
  • Can be fitted with bayonet, scope, tripod, laser sight, and can accept various forms of alternative ammo
  • Extremely easy to maintain and lasts an incredibly long time without maintenance in the field of storage
  • Extreme Accuracy due to match grade rifling
STRENGTHS
  • Apocalypse Proof: Made of sturdy, solid Durasteel frame, this thing lasts a long time in storage or in the field, and is incredibly easy to repair and maintain should damage occur
  • Hybrid Design: This design has the unique feature of combining the magazine well of a stripper clip battle rifle with the reloading feature of a lever action rifle, leading to much faster reloads than normal for a lever action
  • Modular: Can be fitted with both bayonet, scope, and laser sight, and can accept an unusually high number of alternative ammo types, and can be mildly decorated or engraved
  • Organ Smasher: Fires devastating 45 Caliber, 70 grain bullets, capable of turning someone's head to a pulpy mass
WEAKNESSES
  • Fire Rate: Lever actions aren't exactly the fastest firing weapons by Modern standards, and the lever action reload can be laborious for someone unused to the mechanism, and even for those who are, it's still slower than a semi auto rifle or even a bolt action
  • Ammo Count: Only 8 shots
  • Exotic Ammo Limits: Exotic Ammo costs normally three times as much as standard, and that means maybe only one or two clips if it might be brought to battle, and then only for emergencies
  • Acquisition difficulty: Found normally only in the hands of House Lagan'Ia riflemen, if you want it, you'll have to either take one from them, or pay for a custom order, which can be pricey as it's not typically offered in blastech's catalogue.
  • Ammo vulnerability: The stripper clip ammo must be properly packed when in transit and cared for.
DESCRIPTION

House Lagan'Ia, antagonist to the Yharwod Commune, sometimes equips their best scouts and rifleman with these guns when going on skirmishes at the Commune's western border on Epica. Lagan'Ia Scouts especially seem to view them as status symbols, and their acceptance of unusually high numbers of alternative 45-70 ammo indicates their use for more than just dealing with the odd animal or cattle thief.
