Description:
A basic reliable blaster chaingun for heavier infantry units, based off of existing designs. The weapon uses the common Anti Corr 113 for coating and finish. Built from a previously established TD1 Alloy for a professional and sturdy barrel, which is required for the speed the gun spits out blaster fire, and more importantly the amount of battering heavy infantry are likely to see on the front lines. Not much good for puncturing most vehicles, it'll often perform well against lighter vehicles and most infantry it meets however, spewing out bolts in a suppressive fire effect, especially good to pin troops or fire into groups of men.
Braced well to the wielders hip with harness, it allows for stability when firing. Stability is different to accuracy however, it does allow moderate accuracy to be maintained once a target is zeroed in on, but getting to that point for an individual takes a second or two. As this has no scope, tracking equipment or advanced modifications of any kind, it is very much your front line grunts weapon, and one of the backbone weapons of the 770th stormtrooper corps for example.
Hip braced, an individual can move at a steady advance and fire, without too much trouble, obviously running is out unless you want to be shooting the floor. The bracing allows easier descent from walkers, other larger vehicles and difficult terrain, without having to worry if you are going to drop the weapon so easily. Powerpacks for the average clone trooper can be reloaded in about 5 to 10 seconds in place of a dry one.
When interviewed about the OS-GG1, one 770th clone remarked:
"Ugly looking thing. Gets the Job Done. Down with Rebel Scu..!"
