Strengths:

• Predator's Longarm: A long barreled rifle built for the use of ranged combat with a foe or animal. Specifically using a very similar setup to that of the infamous Tusken Raider Cycle rifles. A slug surrounded in energy to increase the effectiveness with the ability to pierce through energy shielding, and even armors. Secondary function of not killing your prey, one can easily turn off the use of the energy cell, and fire tranq darts that can be used to put prey to sleep.
• Reach Across the Horizon: Many slug rifles can have a rather surprising range for which they can operate. This one is no different. Having a fairly good range of 1000 meters for the optimum distance one could fire at, the Boltor rifle can fire just as accurately as it's Cycle rifle cousin.

Weaknesses:

• Namesake: Named Boltor specifically due to the firing mechanism being that of a Bolt-action. While this allows for a much larger slug round to be fired more accurately than that of Semi, or fully automatic weapons, The downside is that close range engagements are poor situations for this rifle to be in. Bolt-actuated rifles require the operator to fire, cycle the bolt, and resume aiming and fire the rifle again. Going head to head with other rifles that fire at a much faster rate at a much closer range can be the bane of this rifle. Even more so if the weapon is being used within melee range.
• Double the Reload: Due to using both an energy cell, as well as slugs, reloading the weapon can take a slightly longer time than other rifles. Example being the first mag you use will be a fairly fast reload due to only having to reload the slugs, but the second reload will be almost double the time with having to reload the slugs, as well as the energy cell.
• Lazy Caretaker: The rifle uses various forms of shots, or slugs and darts. Thusly, the rifle needs to be kept clean and operable. Throwing this rifle in the mud and then trying to fire it can hamper the ability to cycle the bolt, get debris within the mag wells of both Slug Magazines, as well as the well for the energy cell. Secondary, the weapon will likely require a cleaning after every use.

DESCRIPTION
Tatooine is a planet well known for it's Pod races. People on the daily take their modified speeders and zip through the plains, caves and canyons of the desert planet. A deadly sport for those who have the ambition to be faster than everyone else. However, not just the natural challenges presented in the race are what kills most riders. In fact, it is the accurate aim, and range from that of a Tusken Cycle rifle. A bolt action weapon that uses energy and slugs to pierce through energy shielding and hit important components on a speeder, or the driver themselves.

Thus, many bounties that have been placed upon these savages ask for their rifles to be scaveneged from their bodies and taken back as trophies simply due to the weapon being proven so deadly.

Yusanic Ironworks, a company prized on bringing advances to technology to the Family as a whole, as well as those who have requested for weapons to be made specifically for hunting. In the same vain as the cousins of the rifle, Yusanic ironworks set to creating these weapons specifically for hunters of any kind. Human, beast, animal, or even for a Zoo keeper for tranq darts.
