OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Specialized Projectile Device Rifle is a rifle manufactured for specialized units. Although it takes the appearance of a regular sub-machine gun, the device can be modified to be very efficient in many different areas. For example, the device can be fitted with several varieties of specialized slugs, in many different shapes and sizes. Examples could include weapons better suited to armor piercing, or close quarters weapons requiring smaller ammunition types. One feature that pushes it away from most other Slugthrowers of it's type, is it's ability to fire different calibers. This can heavily reduce the amount of ammo a soldier needs to carry, or even change the rifle's military designation entirely. The reason these slugs are referred too as "Specialized Devices", is because they are much more diverse than the average modified slug.
The weapon should not be issued as a "standard" weapon, due to it's weaknesses. It is designed for use in Special Forces units, or to be used as some form of specialized squad weapon.
