- Effective Range: Battlefield.
- Effective Range: 3500 meters.
- Maximum Range: 4000 meters.
- Rate of Fire: Average.
- Fire mode(s): Semi-automatic.
- Stopping Power: Extreme.
- 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 Bipod and Monopod: In order to brace the heavy weapon to take some of the weight off the shooter's hands, it features an integrated bipod.
- 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 with a half a meter blast radius.
- AP-HE: Depleted baradium jacket with a deuterium charge designed to detonate on impact. Somewhat rarer and more expensive due to the higher depleted baradium content.
- SLAP: Saboted light armor penetrator round with a depleted baradium penetrator. Better at penetrating armor than a regular armor piercing round.
- SLAP-HE: Works on the same principle as a SLAP round, only the rear end of the penetrator is given over to a deuterium explosive designed to detonate on impact.
- 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
- 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 SR-2M Verpine Shatter Sniper 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.
Breshig War Forge's latest Verpine Shatter Rifle offering has a range that puts many blaster sniper platforms to shame while offering all the benefits of a Verpine Shatter weapon; stealth, accuracy and versatility. However, given the number of magnetic accelerator weapons now being sold on the galactic market, Breshig Arms has had considerable difficulty in trying to sell their weapon to customers, Mandalorian or not, especially given MandalArms considerably technologically advanced offerings as well as those of several other clans.
The weapon doesn't deviate from Verpine weapons technology by much, but does feature a number of features that make it far more convenient to use. While it features an integrated bipod that can be traded out for a model the user prefers, it also features an integrated gyrostabilizer. The integrated gyrostabilizer balances the weapon relative to the nearest perpendicular surface and reduces the felt weight of the weapon using a micro-repulsor. This allows a user to fire the large and heavy weapon, standing up, rather than being required to brace it before firing. In order not to melt the barrel from heat generated by firing, it makes use of an advanced cryo cooling lattice, which can be configured to keep the weapon's temperature at the same temperature as the environment around it.
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 the 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.
