DESCRIPTION

A deadly automatic sniper rifle wielded by Maple's Jedi Mentor, Ursula Sandraven, this is actually a stolen prototype of a heavy machine gun for the galactic empire that never saw production. The weapon was fitted with a scope customized by Sandraven personally, and the deadly burst fire of this weapon downed many a sloppy Sith or careless Knight of Ren. Even the ones who knew and rightfully feared her found their cunning attempts to end her outsmarted by 308. caliber rifle cartridges. A devastating weapon if wielded correctly, but for all its power, its weight, slow reload and the size and weight of its ammo clips hinder its employment on more chaotic battlefields unless well hidden. Plus if the scope, which has multiple vision modes and zoom levels is destroyed, Maple is left simply with a heavy machine gun. This rifle was found inside a safe-deposit box on Ursula's old stomping grounds of Tattooine after extensive investigation by Maple.
