DESCRIPTION
For the imperial market, the Olympian Armorsmiths received a new design from their Imperator to work on and realise as a weapon of high potency. Based on an older design, the weaponmakers were to build a new type, a more handy version of the concussion rifle, often employed by the heavier units of the Imperial Remnant. The first design to be constructed for wide-spread production was a carbine, a versatile, stormtrooper-worthy weapon which was to complement individual firepower and give a much higher degree of damage output to the average soldier.
Designed with two firing modes, Blast and Focused, the carbine would have the option to be deployed against more general targets and group of targets with the blast mode, offering a slightly reduced area of effect, but still extremely powerful burst of concussive and kinetic energy. The Focused mode would reduce the overall area of effect to point of contact but turn the concussive energies to a pin-point concentration, giving a vastly improved armor- and even shield-piercing capability.
