SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Long Range
  • High Power
  • Firing Modes [Semi/Burst/Full]
  • Recoil Reducing Stock
Strengths:
  • Long Range - The rifle has a potent range especially when a powerful scope is attached allowing its user to engage targets at further ranges then most other rifles.
  • Stopping Power - The battle rifle packs a punch designed to allow the holder to take down heavier armored enemy they may come across, coupled with its range, it helps support the M-1016 as a designated marksman weapon.
Weaknesses:
  • Large - The battle rifle is fairly large which, by itself, is not an issue, but it becomes an issue when people need to fight in tight environments like dense forest or urban terrain where the weapon's length becomes a hindrance and weakness.
  • High Recoil - The rifle packs a kick thanks to its power, the faster the rate of fire, the more it will kick, on full auto, it will climb rapidly making accuracy a hopeless dream unless the firing rate is kept low and controlled.
  • Low Capacity - Due to its high power and range, the battle rifle has a lower ammunition capacity then other blasters this is because, akin to sniper blaster rifles, the energy is used to better condense the bolt allowing it to hit harder and go further at the cost of a lower shot count.
DESCRIPTION
The N-9s was designed to help pad out the rifles for the Republic Remnant. It is a large, accurate, long ranged rifle that packs a mean punch and recoil to match. It makes a solid DMR for squads and a secondary option to the M-1016 as while it lacks the M-1016's light weight and modularity which makes the M-1016 great for those who are going to be moving around a lot or need to customize their weapon based on their mission [like special forces], the N-9s is great for soldiers who need the option for more rapid fire such as if they need to suppress the enemy if they get too close.

The rifle is very easy to produce and is a common armament for Remnant forces who need the long ranged fire support for their infantry.

I largely see the "high" stopping power being balanced by the "high" recoil, but I don't feel like we have something that balances out the long-range nature of this weapon (especially since that's something explicitly listed as having to be under the strength's section).

I do think that the weapon's larger size partially balances out for this (much like the canon A280), but I feel like it could use an additional weakness or slight cut to a rating somewhere else to balance this out for a mass-produced weapon.
 
[member="Gir Quee"] I cut the ammo capacity in half then put in weakness that this is because, akin to sniper rifles or LRBs, the energy is more condensed to let the bolts hit harder and go further making them use more energy per shot.
