DESCRIPTION
After graduating from basic training, Reaper requested to have a personalized weapon created for his use. He wanted the weapon to be more durable than the traditional weapons employed in the Galactic Empire; so turadium was used as the material. The weapon is extremely durable; even able to survive limited strikes from a lightsaber. Also, he wanted the weapon to include more stopping power, so the weapon's muzzle velocity was increased to allow for the rate of speed in which the shots left the weapon ( roughly 150 m/s). The weapon, however, suffers from a lower range of effectiveness in comparison to other types of blasters, and it possess a recoil that can cause accuracy to be a problem if not held firmly.
The special additions, such as the thermal weapon sight allows for tracking targets in both night, light, and certain elements like snow. The rangefinder was built into the scope, allowing him to gauge accurate distances from targets. The progressive / staged trigger allows the weapon to be fired in either single shots or fully automatic.
