SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Invisible Laser Bolts
  • Silenced Blaster Fire
  • Macroscope [10x/20x - NightVision/Thermal]
Strengths |
  • [ The Unseen Blade ] | The IL-25X is among one of the deadliest sniper rifles to be manufactured by the Sith Empire, as it utilizes refined tibanna gas which produces invisible laser bolts. That in combination with silenced blaster fire make it extremely difficult to pinpoint the sniper's position, thus allowing them to remain in an optimal position to wreak havoc from afar.
Weaknesses |
  • [ Heat Trails ] | Though its laser bolts are invisible, the IL-25X does not mask itself entirely. For a brief window of time after it has been fired, if someone were to look with thermal sensors, they can simply the heat trail right back to the source.
  • [ Slow Fire ] | The IL-25X requires a lengthy cooldown between shots to prevent the blaster's dampeners from overheating, thus rendering them unusable. This can range anywhere between 5 to 10 seconds per shot.
  • [ Extended Combat ] | The IL-25X suffers from one particular flaw which is its limited ammo capacity. The IL-25X requires a significant amount of energy per shot before the gas canister has to be replaced. The refinement of the tibanna also is quite expensive, so snipers using the IL-25X are limited to roughly 30-40 shots total. This makes it an efficient sniper for extensive combat.

DESCRIPTION

One issue that a number of snipers have always had to handle properly was ensuring that their position was never compromised. In an age where laser bolts reigned, this was a reason why snipers were always in constant danger of being discovered. The IL-25X 'Umbra' Sniper Rifle was designed with that in mind, and primarily developed for the sole purpose of making a military grade sniper rifle for use within the Sith Empire, and particularly favored among covert operation and SpecOps groups as well as seasoned marksmen of the Imperial Legion.
Based off an old concept, the IL-25X utilizes refined Tibanna gas capable of producing an invisible laser bolt, thus eliminating the chances of seeing where the shot comes from whilst also utilizing a sound suppression system that effectively silences the sound of it when firing. This makes the IL-25X an effective weapon if the sniper is hidden in a well-concealed position, and eliminates the need for the sniper to frequently change their position to avoid being compromised.
The refinement of the tibanna used for the IL-25X as well as the mixing process of the gas to produce invisible laser bolts is still quite expensive, and as such, IL-25X wielders are limited to the amount they are permitted to carry into the field, and a reason why the number of IL-25X snipers are fairly limited among the ranks of the Imperial Legion and more commonly seen being utilized by smaller special or covert operations groups.

The submission itself looks as good as always. The only trip at the moment is that reload speed is no longer a valid rating and was instead replaced with 'Ammunition capacity'.
Ammunition Capacity: (List the ammunition capacity. The more powerful and lighter the weapon, the lower the magazine capacity is likely to be. Please choose a size between Extremely Small, Very Small, Small, Average, Large, Very Large and Extremely Large. You may also include a number with the Rating)
If you would update accordingly, I'll give this another review.
