DESCRIPTION
Once 19th "Viper" Legion was established, they needed better weapons compared to those readily available in the open-market. Salazar kept finding for solutions as well as the whole legion kept their ears open for any potential blaster suited to their needs. It was made a rule that although the regiments were cross-trained, due to their specialization, they will have different sets of gears that would distinguish one regiment from another & the differences can only be spotted by the troopers of the Legion only.
After looking for sometime, no one was able to find a suitable rifle. Salazar then approached the Canyon Defence Ltd. to make a modular rifle series which suited the needs of the Legion. After the R&D's brainstorming sessions that ran a month, they came up with the VX-series of rifles. These rifles were made by pressing 2 very thin layers of Alusteel acquired from an Executor-class Star Dreadnought which was bought by Canyon Innovations Ltd. while it was being sold as scrap because of the unrepairable damages it sustained, in between a similar thick layer of Trimantium. Every rifle in the VX-series was produced in limited numbers only to cater that specific regiment.
VX-1 was the final rifle that was introduced & it aptly represented the regiment. Like all the other rifles in the series, it had basic scope & underbarrel modifications. As the regiment pooled it's troopers from the other 4 regiments, its design also pooled ideas from the other 4 rifles in the series to make sure all Infiltrators felt a sense of individuality when they hold their rifle. It can be modified into 7 modes even on the battlefield within 30 seconds based on the trooper's choice. Whether it be close-quarters, or area denial or long-range marksmanship; the trooper can be ready for the situation within half a minute to meet the odds.
