CDMR-02 CHISS CHARRIC SNIPER RIFLE
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION- Intent: To create a charric sniper rifle for the Chiss Ascendancy.
- Image Source: Star Citizen weapon design
- Canon Link: Charric
- Restricted Missions: N/A
- Primary Source: Charric Sniper Rifle
- Manufacturer: Chiss Ascendancy
- Model: CSR-06
- Affiliation: Chiss Ascendancy
- Modularity: Yes; canon or sub attachments (such as scopes or bipods) able to be used
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Durasteel, ostrine barrel and chamber, maser-particle firing components
- Classification: Chiss Charric Sniper Rifle
- Size: Average
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Power pack
- Ammunition Capacity: 10 (overcharged power pack)
- Reload Speed: Very Slow
- Effective Range: Battlefield
- Rate of Fire: Low (single fire)
- Stopping Power: Extreme
- Recoil: Very High (requires prone firing)
- Overcharged charric blaster bolts utilizing maser-tech
- Very accurate at long ranges
- Electric shock to metallic armors
- Unable to be reflected by lightsabers
- Variable scope (x6 and x12)
- Charric blaster bolts offer both thermal and kinetic damage, and carry enormous impact per bolt - especially against lightsabers or deflecting weapons.
- Sniper rifle variant powerpacks contain an overcharge component that improves stopping power.
- 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.
- Significantly lessened ammunition capacity compared to similar blaster rifles, due to overcharged powered bolts.
- Insulated metallic armors will not be affected by electric shock per bolt, making that bolt attribute redundant.
- Recoil is higher than other sniper 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 overall size, lengthened barrel reinforcement and scope.
- Overall range limited to battlefields, with maser-bolts unable to extend beyond extreme ranges like other sniper rifles.
- Effective firing requires wielder to be prone, limiting movement and requiring setup time.
A standard charric sniper rifle 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 CSR-06 Chiss Charric Sniper Rifle is a reliable weapon capable of providing a long ranged and accurate blaster-like weapon for the soldiers of the Chiss Ascendancy.
