Recharge: In order to reach such incredible distances an incredible amount of power must be expended for each bullet. The rifle must recharge after every shot and usually takes a minute to recharge.
Cumberson: The rifle can't be taken apart and doesn't fold, meaning that the whole thing must be lugged around.
Limited Ammo: The magazines for the rifle are incredibly heavy and expensive due to the Neuranium which means ammo tends to be sparse.
DESCRIPTION
As Black Sun begins to spread its influence, it will ultimately come into conflict with various jedi orders. Alpha Corp. wanted to prepare for the inevitable. So, they prepared the Phantom to be mass deployed to assassins and bounty hunters across Black Sun incase there is ever any sort of invasion.
The Phantom comes equipped with duraplast covering for sandy or swampy environments. The magazine comes equipped with a small power source, just enough power for each of the 8 slugs within it. Each slug, made of Neuranium, has a thin coating of cortosis so if it comes into contact with a saber it will disable the saber.
