Strengths:
- You Need What Now - Interchangeable systems of accessories, stocks, and magazines allow an almost infinite number of configurations, for many different missions.
- Sticks And Stones - Using slugthrower technology is widely considered archaic, but the only people who say that are the ones who haven't had 30 supersonic rounds of metal smashed into their body armor in the space of 2.5 seconds.
- Oh Gravity - Slugthrower rounds are notorious for bullet drop. Beyond 600 m, the rounds not only waver due to bullet spin, but begin to drop significantly due to gravity. This affects accuracy significantly.
- I Need Ammo - Slugthrower ammo is not easy to come by... especially JSA-standard slugs. It can be far too easy to run out of ammo.
The JSA-CAR30 is Jak's first entry into a standardized weapon system. While every weapon he creates is unique, this one is an introduction to at a fully interchangeable system, that will hopefully become standard across all weapons he creates.
It is a multipurpose carbine, smaller than a standard rifle but able to fire rifle-caliber cartridges at high rates. With many interchangeable functions, it is able to perform multiple roles in battle.
By no means an overly powerful weapon, its strength is in its versatility. Suppressors, holo sights, over-stuffed magazines, this weapon can handle them all. Just try not to run out of ammo.
