Sneaky McSneakyface: The rifle was designed to bypass customs and official scrutiny. It’s made entirely out of non-metallic substances, allowing it to sneak past scanners without triggering any alarms. It’s easy to disassemble and hide amongst your belongings or cargo. Because of its small size and low weight, the weapon is also more easily concealed than most arms of its class.
Smooth operator: It’s small, it’s lightweight, it’s balanced, it has low recoil – it’s a rifle perfect for urban engagements where reaction time and maneuverability are of the essence. When a deal goes wrong and you need to be quicker than your foe, the Plus-series is here to give you that edge.
Hot stuff: The outer shell of the weapon is made from myoflex, which helps dissipate the heat build-up of NT-1. This makes the rifle safe to use on the semi-automatic and three-burst setting.
Poor long-range accuracy: It’s a weapon designed primarily for the closed spaces of an urban environment. Though the bullpup design helps in this regard, the rifle still has a shorter barrel than other arms of its class, resulting in accuracy drop at longer ranges.
Electricity: An unavoidable downside of using NT-1 in the construction of the weapon. Anyone targeted by electricity-based attacks while holding this weapon will have a bad time. As in, third-degree burns, muscle-spasming, tissue-necrosis kind of bad time.
Hot stuff: While myoflex does its job well, it has its limits. Using the rifle on the automatic setting will begin to overload the dispersive capabilities of myoflex around the two-minute mark. If – for some absurd reason – the user persists with automatic fire for more than three minutes, the myoflex will begin to melt, resulting in weapon failure and severe damage to the user. *
The Plus-series Blaster rifle was designed as a versatile weapon for tight, urban environments where most criminals live and operate. While regular blaster rifles do their job well enough, they come with a number of downsides – they’re unwieldy, heavy, and often far too large to be practical in tight confines.
Fret not! The Plus-series rifle is here to allay your troubles – for a price, of course.
The rifle is made first and foremost with the criminal in mind. It’s built from materials that bypass scanners; it’s small, lightweight, and easy to conceal; its multiple rails offer great modularity, as the user can attach their accessories of choice: from scopes and laser pointers to flashlights, flash suppressors, silencers, and more.
As a product of Nadir, the rifle also comes with the rather unusual feature of dual gas canister slots. This allows the enterprising bounty hunter or mercenary to outfit their weapon with a secondary gas, removing the burden of carrying another blaster solely for this purpose.
