- Effective Range: Long Range.
- Effective Range: 1500 meters. Maximum effective range in two-round burst mode.
- Maximum Range: 2500 meters.
- Rate of Fire: Average. 500 rounds/min.
- Fire mode(s): Semi-automatic and two-round burst.
- Stopping Power: Very High
- Recoil: Average.
- Integrated Targeting Computer with HUD Linking Capability: The weapon features onboard targeting computer which has the ability to interface with HUD systems and provide provide compensation for various atmospheric conditions, and uses the HUD's binocular mode (if it has one, and is limited based on the weapon's own range when used in this mode) as a magnified optic. Heavy amounts of jamming doesn't affect this feature given proximity between the weapon and the user.
- Integrated Gyro-gimbal: In order to better balance the weapon both before and after firing a shot, a gyro-gimbal was integrated into it.
- Integrated Barrel Cryo Cooling Lattice: A Dallorian alloy barrel alone isn't enough to keep the weapon from overheating and damaging its barrel, so a cryo cooling lattice was integrated into its construction.
- Variety of Ammunition: Breshig War Forge Consolidated produces a variety of ammunition for the weapon:
- AP: Armor-piercing rounds with a depleted baradium core designed to act as a penetrator upon impact with armor.
- HE: Deuterium detonator rounds designed to explode on contact with a hard surface.
- Bronzium Full Metal Jacket Rounds: Bronzium jacketed rounds, standard ammunition for the weapon.
- Electro-stun Round: Similar to electro-stun grenades but on a smaller scale, the electro-stun rounds are capable of immobilizing most humanoid targets only about two or so impacts, whereupon they release an electric charge, though decidedly stubborn targets might require more rounds. These rounds are also not very effective against hard armored targets.
- EMP: Micro-EMP rounds capable of forcing a reboot of sensor or targeting systems in shielded systems and shutting down said systems in unshielded systems.
- Tracker Dust Rounds.
- SLAP: Saboted light armor penetrator round with a depleted baradium penetrator. Better at penetrating armor than a regular armor piercing round.
- Armor-Piercing: The rounds fired by this weapon have a higher chance of penetrating armor and causing significant internal damage than traditional slugthrowers.
- Whisper Quiet: Like all Verpine Shatter weapons, the BR-series 6B Verpine Shatter Battle Rifle is whisper quiet at the point of the shooter when fired on supersonic mode, and is dead quiet when fired on subsonic throughout the round's trajectory. Only a very faint whistle may be heard in the event of a near miss.
- Pinpoint Accurate: Like most Verpine weapons, the rifle is extremely accurate.
- Versatile: The variety of rounds available for the weapon make it highly versatile, able to engage a variety of targets.
- Heavy Ammunition: The ammunition for the rifle isn't exactly light either, making carrying large quantities of ammunition difficult, and after a certain point, nigh on impossible.
- Large Weapon: Maneuvering this weapon in close quarters is very difficult, and carrying the heavy weapon does reduce the mobility of the wielder to a degree.
- Small Ammunition Capacity: Equivalent high end heavy blaster rifles have a higher capacity.
- EMP/Ion Vulnerability: Despite the attempt to protect the weapon's sensitive electronics, a powerful enough EMP/Ion weapon will fry the acceleration coils and render the weapon useless.
Designed in conjunction with the SR-2M Verpine Shatter Sniper Rifle and AMR-4M Verpine Shatter Anti-Material Rifle as a more Mandalorian flavored version of the venerable Verpine Shatter weapon, the BR-6B is the latest in Breshig War Forge's Verpine Shatter Rifle offerings. The BR-6B offers a versatile blaster rifle replacement that is likely to put a man-sized target down in around two-three shots and has considerable armor-penetrating ability.
Unlike a blaster rifle, the weapon is completely silent when fired on subsonic mode, and makes no noise at the point of the shooter when fired on supersonic mode. This, combined with its ability to take a variety of different accessories, optics and under barrel attachments has made it a very popular choice among those who prefer a quieter but no less deadly approach to situations.
Unlike some variants of the Verpine Shatter Rifle, this rifle doesn't support nor feature the multi caliber barrel and magazine. Like most contemporary Verpine weapons, this one is both drop safe and EMP hardened. This however does not completely negate the effect of an EMP, and a powerful enough pulse can and will fry the weapon's accelerator assembly. Like most weapons favored by Mandalorians, it is to modify, allowing for a wide variety of optics, grips and other weapon addons to be installed without much difficulty. Few Mandalorians have taken to coating the weapon and its magazines in reflec to reduce the weapon's scanner profile.
