Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Duraplast(polymer hardware), Alusteel(metal parts)
Description: Submachine guns. On many worlds, still the weapon of choice for guard duty or close-quarters fighting. But with the body armor utilized by today's various factions, traditional pistol-caliber SMGs were ineffective against standard laminate, durasteel, or even plasteel. As such, for the first time since designing weapons for the Empire, Subach has released a new weapon to go with its Kalash K74.
Of an enormous caliber, the Sharpshot, as the new weapon is called, is designed to fire a 12.7mm round. The weapon has been made with a various plethora of attachment points, allowing scopes, flashlights, and other extraneous equipment to be equipped. The Sharpshot was designed specifically for use at close range against enemies, particularly those with light or medium body armor. While particularly perforating, it does not perform well against heavy armor, and the larger round means a slower rate of fire around 75% that of a comparable smaller-caliber SMG.
