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-4 was the fourth rifle that was introduced & it aptly represented the regiment. Like all the other rifles in the series, it had basic scope & underbarrel modifications with a bipod & an extra underbarrel grenade launcher modification to choose from. One trooper of the Tanks is equal to 10 heavily armored vehicles & the VX-4 keeps that legendary status intact. It can penetrate through the toughest of armors with ease although the rifle can only fire once per 10 seconds before it can fire again. The toughest of armored vehicles falls short in front of a lying trooper with the VX-4 ready with it's bipod set.
