CDMR-02 CHISS CHARRIC DMR
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION- Intent: To create a charric DMR for the Chiss Ascendancy.
- Image Source: Star Citizen weapon design
- Canon Link: Charric
- Restricted Missions: N/A
- Primary Source: Charric Blaster Rifle
- Manufacturer: Chiss Ascendancy
- Model: CDMR-02
- Affiliation: Chiss Ascendancy
- Modularity: Yes; canon or sub attachments (such as scopes or grips) able to be used
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Durasteel, ostrine barrel and chamber, maser-particle firing components
- Classification: Chiss Charric Designated Marksman Rifle
- Size: Average
- Weight: Average
- Ammunition Type: Power pack
- Ammunition Capacity: 50 (power pack)
- Reload Speed: Average
- Effective Range: Long Range
- Rate of Fire: Low (single fire)
- Stopping Power: Very High
- Recoil: High
- Charric blaster bolts utilizing maser-tech
- Very accurate
- Electric shock to metallic armors
- Unable to be reflected by lightsabers
- Charric blaster bolts offer both thermal and kinetic damage, and carry enormous impact per bolt - especially against lightsabers or deflecting weapons.
- Very accurate weapon, due to the improved firing systems of Charric weaponry compared to standard blasters.
- Metallic armors receive an electric shock with each hit, capable of disrupting the wearer briefly if not protected against such damage.
- Charric bolts are unable to be reflected by lightsabers, resulting in increased difficulty defending when under fire from this type of weapon.
- Marksman scope, with x4 telescopic zoom, allows for pinpoint firing at range.
- Lessened ammunition capacity compared to standard blaster rifles, due to higher powered bolts.
- Insulated metallic armors will not be affected by electric shock per bolt, making that bolt attribute redundant.
- Recoil is higher than standard blaster rifles, due to kinetic discharge per bolt.
- Longer reload times due to smaller capacity powerpack and more frequent replacement.
- Slow rate of fire, with no options other than single fire mode.
- Heavier rifle due to barrel reinforcement and length and scope.
- Scope magnification locked, potentially limiting close range firing solutions.
A standard charric DMR created for use within the Chiss Ascendancy, which utilizes advanced maser-particle firing systems that fires blue beams, and includes cooling materials to avoid overheating. Unlike standard blaster weapons, the charric bolts offer increased thermal and kinetic damage, as well as electrical shock to non-insinuated metallic armors, and are unable to be reflected by lightsabers. Additionally, the enormous impact per bolt allows for opponents defending with deflection capable weapons to be physically worn down with repeated attack, with some Jedi and Sith even outright losing their grasp on lightsabers.
Due to the improved nature of the bolts, the weapons accuracy is very high. Due to the higher particle and kinetic energy of each bolt, the effective range has been improved, but the ammunition capacity has been decreased - compared to standard blaster rifles of a similar type. Also, the maximum range for a charric weapon is shorter than other standard blaster rifles, and this loss over distance can be dangerous if unaccounted for during combat, and should be kept in mind at all times by Chiss soldiers.
All in all, the CDMR-02 Chiss Charric DMR is a reliable weapon capable of providing a pinpoint accurate mid-to-long range blaster-like weapon for the soldiers of the Chiss Ascendancy.
