- Weight: The rifle is designed to be light enough for soldiers to use it on the move if needed.
WEAKNESSES
- Recoil: Built on the design of a light laser cannon, the rifle has rather unpleasant recoil which hampers the speed of usage.
- Ammunition: The ammunition capacity of the rifle is very low, restricting the volume of fire tremendously.
- Size: While relatively light, the rifle is rather big, hampering its mobility and ease of usage.
- Loud: While not a problem in a proper warzone, the weapon has a very loud boom when fired which can compromise the shooter in stealthy situations if too close to the target.
DESCRIPTION
Part of a project to expand the combat capability of the Hellion Private Military, the Type 63 is an amalgamation of a smaller marksman rifle and a brutally powerful anti-material rifle. Expected to fill both roles, the weapon’s size and ammunition capacity seriously hampers its effectiveness in this role.
However, the firing rate, range and damage output makes up more than enough for its shortcomings. It is usable in a full blown battlefield or at very long ranges for covert operations. Its damage toggle and multiple modes also allows it to engage various types of targets. Certainly not ideal, but very much capable, the Type 63 has proven itself to be a solid, accurate and reliable weapon for the Hellion Private Military.
