STRENGTHS

1. Customizable: Modifiable to suit different mission profiles with adjustable components and attachments.
2. Multiple Functions: Combines the power of a lightsaber with the precision of a marksman rifle for unparalleled effectiveness.
3. Quick Target Acquisition: Utilizes holographic sights and reflex window for fast target acquisition and situational awareness.
4. Emergency Backup Power: Can be connected to external power sources for backup power during prolonged missions or emergencies.
5. Waterproof Casing: Resistant to water damage, ensuring functionality in various environments.
6. Non-Dimetris Circuits : This modification ensures Cortosis will not short the lightsaber out.
7. EM Shielding: Emp Resistance / Proofing.
8. Force imbued Weapon
9. Stun Mode : Stun mode is a setting commonly found in weapons or devices that temporarily incapacitates targets without causing permanent harm. It typically emits a non-lethal energy discharge or shockwave to immobilize opponents, allowing for capture or non-lethal neutralization.

WEAKNESSES

1. Complex Maintenance: Requires intricate and time-consuming maintenance procedures.
2. Complex Materials: Incorporates rare and costly materials, making repairs difficult.
3. Skill Requirement: Demands specialized training and proficiency to use effectively.
4. Unwieldy and Bulky: Difficult to maneuver due to size and weight.
5. High Visibility: Emits bright light beams when fired, making wielder highly visible.
6. Hackable Systems: Vulnerable to hacking attempts, leading to malfunctions or manipulation.
7. Loud: Emits distinctive and loud noise when activated, compromising stealth. Click here for Big Pew Pew!
8. Bright: Can give away your position.
9. Dependency on Specific Users: Relies on stored biometric data for activation.

11. Dependency on Specific Force Users: Certain Crystals can render this inoperable in users not bonded or fallen depending on Crystals engaged.
12. Self-Inflicted Harm: The intense flashes of light or loud noises emitted by the weapon can inadvertently blind or deafen the wielder if not controlled properly. Due to the close proximity of the wielder to the effects, there's a significant risk of self-inflicted injury during combat.
13. Hot/Overheating: The metal can become a danger to handle with use, potentially causing harm to the wielder or nearby individuals if touched when it hasn't had time cool down.

DESCRIPTION
The Phantom - Marksman Lightsaber Rifle embodies the fusion of traditional Jedi weaponry and advanced battlefield technology. Drawing inspiration from the legendary lightsabers and the tactical efficiency of marksman rifles, Braze conceptualized a weapon that could extend the Jedi's reach beyond melee range without sacrificing the closeness to the Force imbued in a lightsaber.

Utilizing railgun like technology, the Phantom propels energy bolts with such velocity and power, mimicking the destructive capability of a lightsaber's blade over vast distances. Its specialized spiral barrel, magnetized to optimize the trajectory and stability of these high-energy projectiles, ensures that each shot can reach extreme ranges with pinpoint accuracy. This mechanism requires a substantial power source, often necessitating the rifle to be hooked up to a powerful generator or external battery pack for the most demanding shots.
