- Can be fired as a regular weapon or mounted to the shoulder harness
- SHOULDER MOUNT AND DIRECT LINK TO MK III HUD- The direct link to the armor not only offers increased reactive speed, but the armor's power source offers added boost to the firepower increasing the distance a bolt can travel almost exponentially when(and only when) the Sniper extension is installed.
- BIG BARREL- The direct link to the armor not only offers increased reactive speed, but the armor's power source offers added boost to the firepower and damage output levels when either the Grenade launcher or the Sniper extension are installed.
- LONG DISTANCE CALL- The firepower is devastating up close and deadly across a battlefield.
- SURE, INTERCHANGEABLE, BUT...- You had better have the extension you want to be put in before you enter combat because it is a pain in the neck to change mid-fight, in hand, or on the shoulder.
- DON'T MISS WITH THE GRENADES- You only get five and then you have to reload.
This weapon is not going to singlehandedly win a war, it's just not powerful enough. What it will do is free up the unit's hands for another weapon and allow for more effective squad-based combat.
