That One Padawan
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Strengths:
The RISRS21 has been in service with the Republic Remnant since its founding and is a rather old, in terms of military development, rifle. Its reliability, ease of upgrade and cheap cost to produce have let it hold onto its position as the chief sniper rifle of the RR and the desire to find a new rifle, or create one, is fairly low and this is fueled even further by the men and women of the Republic Remnant who consider the old rifle to not 'need fixing'. Its nickname, my Old Lady/Man, came from the soldiers, themselves, who grew attached to the old, reliable rifle often making crude jokes comparing their spouses or parents to the rifle, 'I've been with my old ladies for ten years now, the difference? One of them still looks pretty.'
The rifle is nothing to write home about and is average as far as its stats go, even lagging behind such as in power, however, it is a solid weapon.

Strengths:
- Reliable - The RISRS21 is an incredibly reliable rifle, it can be put through figurative, and literal, hell before suffering malfunctions.
- Modularity - Thanks to its design, the RISRS21 is fully customable and it isn't uncommon to have each RISRS21 in a regiment completely different from the next as it has been tailored to its shooters' liking.
- Low Power - The power isn't as great as other sniper rifles on the market, it can punch through most body armor and the lightest of vehicle armor depending, of course, on the material composition of the armor, thickness and shot placement.
- Blaster - As a blaster, it creates a very visible and easily seen shot allowing people to easily trace the shooter's location.
