OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Spitfire was designed to allow a soldier a higher rate of fire for suppression work. The Spitfire is not meant to be handed out to every soldier as its low power reduces its potency against heavier armored infantry, instead, this weapon is handed out only to one or two soldiers in the squad and is meant to support the efforts of the rest of the squad rather then be truly lethal, themselves.
The weapons have been met with a level of success as suppression until heavy fire support in the form of air support or artillery is the true key to infantry success rather then the individual lethal effect of each infantryman without slowing or tiring them out with heavier suppression weaponry like LRB or HRB.

- Suppressing Fire - The spitfire has potent a potent firing rate when flipped to full making it great for suppressing actions and very potent in tight environments where its bolts can fill the small area lessening the need for accuracy.
- Solid Weapon - Its reload, range and recoil when not using full auto are all fairly good making it a solid rifle for most situations. The rifle is also fairly reliable and rarely suffers malfunctions on its own outside of some overheating issues.
- Recoil - When fired at semi or burst, the recoil is manageable, however, when flicked to full, it will kick back and has a tenancy to 'walk', the longer the trigger is held down, the faster and harder it will walk.
- Low Power - The individual bolts do not pack as much punch as most other blasters. This was done to allow the rifle to better fulfill its faster firing suppressing nature without risking anyone's wrist.
