Special Features: Miniature railgun attachment. Plasma is sticky and will very slowly eat away at what it sticks to.
Strengths:
- Mini railgun: Use it for lightly armored ships, extra long ranges, and anti-armor.
- Sticky plasma: The plasma will slowly eat away at almost anything it touches.
- Scope: This fancy scope can take pictures, zoom in really far, calculate the wind and distance, and a variety of other things. Like a phone. In a scope.
- Long range: The railgun can shoot accurately up to 2 miles (3.2 km.)
Weaknesses:
- Long: The rifle is quite long and can be a hindrance.
- Rail cooldown: The railgun sucks out most if not all the energy out of the gun. It will get very hot if used too frequently.
- Hackable scope: The scope will try and connect to the environment around it, as well as the user's computer or whatever they're using. This makes it hackable and can be disabled.
- Armor: The weapon's protective layer was sacrificed for a lighter carry. While still durable most the internal components would break from just a four story fall.
- Recoil: There is a very high recoil from the railgun. Prop yourself up when using it and be careful firing multiple times, you might get a big bruise.
Description: The Republic started making these rifles for it's best soldiers. The top brass thought that a better gun can make a better soldier. And after they started handing them out to elite soldiers, there was an increase in mission success. Maybe it made the soldiers ready for any situation. Maybe it was the unique features. But soldiers loved the rifle and it loved them back, serving them to the end of every mission. The M19 Falcon is a truly unique weapon. This gun can be a sniper rifle as well as an assault weapon, not to mention the light anti-armor capabilities. It can shoot small railgun rounds to take down light armor suits, ultralight ships and hovercraft, and just about any other lightly armored vehicle. However, thick or multilayered armor will stop the shot. Luckily there are different types of rounds for this situation. There is an ion round, explosive round (less effective against armor, more effective against infantry.), armor piercing round, and just plain old boring rounds. But be careful, shoot too many rounds and it gets dangerous to shoot. Three or more, overheating. Five or more, component breakdown. Anymore than that, possible misfire and explosion. You'd have to have really good or bad luck to get there, if you wanted to even try. The rifle also has sticky plasma. This will slowly melt through almost any material and sizzle through multiple layers. It's sticky too, so good luck getting it off. The gun also has a super neat scope. It can zoom in really far, calculate the wind and other shooting factors, take pictures and video, and a lot of other things a phone or regular scopes can do. You can also play Tetris on it. For transport the rifle can be collapsed into a little two and a half foot rectangle, but cannot be fired and is little more than a club.
