DESCRIPTION
Designed after carbines favoured by Mandalorian supercommandos, the Galaar-35 is a modern update of classic weaponry. Its body is thoroughly proofed against weather, dust, or other contaminants as well as being durable enough to function as a club as needed. Iron sights come standard, although it also has adjustable iron sights for those who prefer the manual approach.The stock is solid and padded for long use and the barrel shroud's efficient cooling prevents warping under the conditions of a pitched battlefield. Rather than a standard front grip, the Galaar-35 uses a second handle on an inset rail. This handle can be replaced as desired, but it's there for to provide a solid brace for the weapon's overcharged marksman function.
Taking after other similar innovations, the carbine has a hammer toggle at the rear which activates a high-power setting. Pulling it back expands its blaster gas chamber, increases the power flow, and supercharges the barrel's focusing array. Together this feature allows the weapon to fire heavy bolts up to 300 meters with alarming speed and force akin to a magnetic accelerator. It also drains five times as much power and gas from the weapon to do so, largely increases recoil, and doubles the cycle time to a full second. Repeated back-to-back usage also significantly reduces the weapon's overall reliability.
While not as specialized or long-range as a proper sniping rifle, this still provides the Mandalorians it was designed for a convenient option for picking off long-range or heavily armoured targets. This is precisely why it was favoured by the Death Watch group.
Blaster packs are loaded pistol-style into the grip and, as usual, it features an ambidextrous fire selector for safe, lethal, and stun settings. They can also be ordered or modified in a stockless variant.
