SPECIAL FEATURES
- Modifications
- Stronger bolt
- Easy reloading system
As per the various modifications that can be placed on this rifle, they can be changed out to the preference of any soldier. Adding a Bayonette, various scopes that allow Zoom to be at 3x, 5x, 10x, and 15x. A bi-pod can be attached to the under barrel to allow very precise aiming at longer ranges, or even have a forearm grip to provide a steady hand on the rifle when in battle. However, not all of these modifications can be on at the same time.
At most, you can have one under barrel attachment such as a bipod, bayonette, or forearm grip, with a scope attachment.
With an upgraded Galvenized pattern within the rifle, it provides a very powerful bolt in a rifle to allow a much longer firing range to surpass most battle rifles. However, it still falls short to sniper rifles.
The rifle has a very easy loading system. The powercell is thrown in from the bottom of the rifle, much like many others. However, the gas canister will auto eject from the rifle when empty, and will open on the top. Allowing the soldier to simply take a new gas canister and pop it into place.
Strengths:
- Fast and easy reload system
- Powerful blaster bolt
- Longer ranges than a standard blaster rifle.
- Upgraded galvenized pattern means the rifle goes through more stress than other rifles. Requiring it to be maintained when out of battle.
- The powerful blaster bolt is a little larger than your standard bolt. Meaning its a little easier for lightsaber users to deflect the bolt, however the possibility to feel a kinetic impact from the bolt can still take place.
- Illegal within Iron Empire space, to be used only by Military personnel.
- During the reloading system, the gas canister self ejects from the rifle. However, it creates a loud ping sound when done. As such, anyone who catches on this can tell that the person needs to reload and can take advantage of that.
DESCRIPTION
A weapon built for the infantrymen, and the standard soldier, this weapon is meant to be used by anyone within the military. Built sturdy enough to withstand being dropped in the mud, ran over, and beaten against the ground, then be picked up and fired.
However, there are a few downsides. Firing the weapon consistently over long periods of time can damage the blaster components inside. Even melt the barrel if used for too long without proper maintenance. While it could survive being dropped and thrown around then fired, its the blaster itself that is could cause the weapon to malfunction. This generally happens around 300-400 rounds put through the system before parts need to be fixed, or completely replaced.
Because this rifle is built for the military, anyone who is not authorized within Iron Empire space being seen with this weapon can, and will be charged. No civilians are allowed to use this rifle. This is because of the upgraded patterns within the rifle that give a good boost to power of the bolt being projected from the rifle.
