Description: Not for sale as a stand-alone-weapon, this assault rifle was built and made almost entirely for the NN-Series droids in combat. The weapons are heavy duty, and deliver powerful shots. Accuracy is not terrible on the guns, especially considering the potential damage they wield. Additionally, at each pull of the trigger, three blaster bolts are fired, one after the other in a rapid chain. On more than one occasion, Xenia has made note that this is much more effective against those wielding lightsabers. With such a large gun, and the relatively larger weight, it's able to crank out not only power, but size, leaving the actual bolts fired from this gun larger than most. All around, the gun is meant to supplement an already intimidating battle droid in order to make it a heavy front line soldier. Even in the cases of those who are able to lift and use the guns well enough, despite their weight, the trigger mechanism is built so as to prevent use without an NN-Series droid's hands. Additionally, while the gun is known to have an impressive range and accuracy, it's much more effective against closer or medium ranged opponents. Lastly, because of the impressive power behind each blast, the gun undergoes a self cooling process after prolonged use in an effort to avoid overheating. During the cool down process, the gun loses a great deal of its accuracy and even some of its power. Generally the cooling process is quick, though continued rapid fire can delay it further, or even overheat the gun for a longer time. In such a case, the cooling process can take more time than most have in combat.
