With the Imperial Concussion Carbine and Reductor Concussion Cannon in production, the Olympian Armorsmiths looked to create a heavy infantry weapon which could be carried by exo-supported soldiers into battle. Taking especially the design of the Z-7 into account, they created a weapon system capable of delivering an astonishing payload of destruction for an mere infantry weapon.
The Heavy Concussion Repeater, despite lacking in imagination for the name, is a highly sophisticated weapon, sacrificing its second firing mode and part armor-piercing capability for that matter to dramatically increase its rate of fire. Usually wielded with a backpack which contains a large power pack, the weapon on its own has a rather quickly depleted magazine due to its full auto firemode. You can put it into semi-automatic, but that kinda fails the idea of this hand-held eradicator.
