[SIZE=14.6667px]Strengths: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]+A combination of high accuracy, caliber, and fire rate give the Grendel good penetration against personal armor and shields. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]+Electronic components and synthetic targets can be disabled with direct hits. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]+Resistant to ion attacks/EMP. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Weaknesses:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]- Has a low default ammunition capacity in comparison to standard blaster rifles like the E-11. Larger magazines may be used at the cost of increased weight. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]- The magazines are vulnerable to cook-off when directly struck by energy. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]- The length of the Grendel can make it unwieldy in confined spaces.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]- 5 second charge time required for use of the alt fire mode, dramatically decreasing fire rate/raw damage output. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Description:[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]The Famos was KSA’s first attempt to provide the Kiribian military with its dated stock of blaster rifles, but the low capacity of the rifle limited it to use as a niche support weapon. KSA then went into a different direction with its next offering, taking design cues from its new Vespa auto-ripper to create a new assault ripper for infantry use.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Like the Vespa, the Grendel uses a repulsor array to fire off beams of anti-gravity to launch projectiles enveloped in a cocoon of ion energy. The beam continues pushing against the projectile well after exiting the barrel, outward of 50 meters, and the jacket of of ions reduces drag during flight. These qualities help the projectile maintain an accurate trajectory over range. When used in burst mode, users are able to achieve very tight groupings to maximize damage. However, unlike the Vespa, can can use different munition types, a feature the Vespa doesn’t need because of a mucher higher caliber and fire rate. By default, the Grendal uses [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]vibro-flechettes[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]In a pinch, the Grendel may be used like a sniper rifle, charging up its array for powerful single shots with greater range and force. [/SIZE]
