STRENGTHS
  • Firepower: The KWF-51 is an extremely lethal weapon, punching high above its weight class. Its gas supercompression chamber, magnetic coil accelerators, and disruptor-derived components give the blaster rifle its characteristic stopping power that can punch through armor and deal serious damage to organic tissue. The blaster can be configured into "ripper" mode, which expends the blaster's entire power cell in a short, disruptor-like burst.
  • Ordnance Launcher: A second barrel allows the blaster rifle to fire ordnance from a limited-round drum.
  • Mandalorian-grade: Despite its advanced internal components, the KWF-51 is extremely durable, resistant to malfunction, and wear. With proper routine maintenance, the model is extremely reliable in almost every condition.
WEAKNESSES
  • Heavy Frame: The weapon's added bulk of the grenade magazine drum and launcher is considerably more difficult to move than an average blaster rifle.
  • Ripper Cooldown: The ripper overcharge mode of the blaster completely expends its power cell and gas cannister. It should be used cautiously, and a Mandalorian reloading the weapon will be left vulnerable.
DESCRIPTION
The KWF-51 Auto Blaster Rifle is a Kestri Weapons Foundry's modern, multi-role battle rifle made for Iron Covenant forces. Inheriting aspects of the well-loved ENCL-36 blaster rifle line, the blaster rifle is a Mandalorian warrior's best companion. It functions best at medium to long ranges, with a high rate of fire and a heavy-hitting damage profile boosted by mandalorina ripper components. Like the KWF-41 Heavy Blaster Pistol, the KWF-51 can be overcharged into a great ripper-like disintegrating burst at the expenditure of its active power cell.

The multi-role blaster rifle is complemented by an underslung munitions launcher. An 8-round magazine drum can be fired alongside the blaster, which is configured to integrate with any KWF ordnance. Standard presets are made for the KWF-G1 through G5 line, although with enough modification, any skilled Mandalorian or gunsmith can modify it to carry a large range of ordnance. The munitions launcher greatly improves the firepower of the blaster rifle, and the variable ordnance can be changed to adjust for mission parameters. In addition, the launcher drastically improves the range of the grenades themselves, allowing them to be fired across much greater distances than conventional throwing of the grenades. A dial on the launcher's side allows the user to adjust the fuse timers of the grenades easily in combat to calibrate for range.

The KWF-51, like all Kestri Weapons Foundry blasters, is an extremely durable design, able to withstand blunt force trauma, typical battlefield stressors, and corrosive environments. It is meant to work in all situations and combat scenarios, the most reliable piece of a warrior's toolkit.

Good Timezone! Nice big beautiful gun you got there!

As of a couple years ago, submissions with production ratings limited or higher are no longer allowed to have extreme ratings in their technical specifications. For this submission, you’ll have to either remove the extreme ratings or reduce the production rating to semi-unique/unique.

Please tag me when you’re ready.

Well… I can’t make an exception on the extreme rating rule, I’m sorry.

But here’s what I can do. You are free to list the ripper mode rate of fire mode as “VERY HIGH” and then in brackets beside it, put whatever number value of rounds per minute you want. Does that help?

Edit: also, we don’t do ratings balancing any more. Balance happens in the strengths and weaknesses section now. So hopefully that helps.

But here’s what I can do. You are free to list the ripper mode rate of fire mode as “VERY HIGH” and then in brackets beside it, put whatever number value of rounds per minute you want. Does that help?

Edit: also, we don’t do ratings balancing any more. Balance happens in the strengths and weaknesses section now. So hopefully that helps.

I’ll make the edits in a second but just for clarifications on rating balancing — there’s zero balancing done now? I was on LOA when all of these changes were made lol so it’s good to get this clarified.

I kinda figured lol

That is correct. You can now basically have a sub with exclusively “very high” ratings across the technical specifications section, and as long as your strengths and weaknesses section is reasonable, you’re probably good to go.
