- Rate of Fire: Average.
- Stopping Power: None. Dependant on ordnance.
- 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. Additionally, compatible ordnance can be set to airburst over a target. Heavy amounts of jamming doesn't affect this feature given proximity between the weapon and the user.
- Optional Folding Stock.
- Integrated Targeting Computer: The weapon's integrated targeting computer not only provides compensation for various atmospheric conditions, ballistic drop compensation but also the ability to set compatible ordnance to airburst.
- Verpine Shatter Weapon: The weapon is accurate, has virtually no ballistic drop, is virtually silent and can propel the rounds it fires at extremely high velocities.
- EMP/Ion: 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.
- Underbarrel: The launcher has the potential to make the balance of a weapon that it is attached to awkward, which can be problematic in close quarters.
Designed to increase the flexibility of the individual solder, Breshig War Forge Consolidated's UGL-02 is a compact, light launcher with an excellent range that packs an integrated targeting computer. Being a verpine shatter weapon at its core, the weapon is accurate, has virtually no ballistic drop, is virtually silent and can propel the rounds it fires at extremely high velocities. Many Strill Securities personnel appreciate the weapon because of the fact that they don't have to take a hand off of their primary weapon to fire a vambrace mounted weapon or rely on any of BWFC's over the shoulder back mounted weapons. The company's elite Vuhyr'yalilyr commandos appreciate it for its subtlety and accuracy.
Unfortunately the launcher has the potential to make the balance of a weapon that it is attached to, and 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. The weapon also comes with a folding stock that can easily be attached or removed, allowing it to be used as a standalone weapon if the user so wishes.
