DESCRIPTION​

Officially pitched by Czerka Arms as a way to help security forces keep weapons at the ready without drawing public attention, the less than legal uses of the Portable Elimination Rifle or PER-11, became clear the second it hit the market, earning it the unimaginative nickname 'The Assassin's Rifle'. The rifle component of the PER is a fairly standard sniper blaster, albeit with an extremely lightweight, plastoid and duraplast based construction. The real unique feature of the PER-11 is the case itself, which is designed to block out all but the most powerful scanners and weapon detectors, including metal detectors, thermal imaging, and x-ray scans. The lightweight construction of both the rifle and the case also means it isn't unwieldy to handle and won't weigh the user down.

Unfortunately, once the case is open there is nothing to hide the rifle inside, and the the rifle itself comes with a few weaknesses that make it almost useless outside of sniping targets at long range. It comes with a built-in five shot power pack that can only be reloaded by disassembling the rifle, so reloading in the middle of a fight is out of the question. In addition the weapon can only be fired when all the components are in place, a process that would take even a skilled person several seconds, and the duraplast construction of the weapon can crack or even break if it takes a hard enough blow. Thankfully the case is padded to protect the parts from damage while in transit.

Despite its limitations, the Assassin's Rifle has proven to be a reliable and effective tool for spies, saboteurs, and of course, assassins.

LEGALITY​

Illegal. While the rifle itself is a standard sniper blaster, the carrying case is designed to get past security scans, making it highly illegal to carry in any civilized system.

INTENT​

I wanted to take a piece of canon technology and use it to make a concealed weapon for assassins, spies, and other sneaky characters to use.

RESTRICTIONS​

Due to the special construction of the case, the assassin's rifle cannot accept any mods that change the frame of the weapon, like new scopes or barrel attachments.
