Affiliation: Mandalorian Arms (Manufacturing Company.)
Ownership: All who can afford the weapon. Starting price is around 2000 credits.

Intent: To create a solid weapons platform that can serve as a 'jack of all trades, master of none' role without being overpowered. Typical roles it would serve in would be with reconnaissance squads requiring versatility and simplicity, and for mercenaries that can rely on a solid system.
Model: SR-13 Field Rifle
Type: Blaster Rifle
Size: Longer rifle, overall length 1100 mm or 43.3 inches.
Composition: Composite materials for ease of maintenance and manufacturing, components forged from a lightweight variant of Mandalorian Durasteel that has been tripple refined and meticulously pieced together in the most efficient manner possible, whilst dropping as much unnecessary weight as possible.
Range: (*See features for full explanation) Assault Mode: 200m - 300m | Precision Mode: 301m - 400m

Ammunition Capacity: The beauty of its construction and ease of use starts here. This particular rifle is able to fit power packs for essentially any blaster rifle and most sniper rifle models, which allows for ease of scavenging for ammunition in the field, a feature many a mercenary find exceptionally useful. As is standard with most blaster rifles, one can get about 40 rounds out of a standard pack in assault mode, yet in precision mode, the amount varies, but does drop significantly.

Description: the SR-13 field rifle is a jack of all trades weapon system that provides a level of customization and versatility, yet ease of use directly to those out in the field. Among its outstanding features is an exceptionally durable frame made from a Mandalorian durasteel compound, utilizing composite construction rather than a single steel frame, which allows for ease of maintenance, repair and cleaning for soldiers with limited means under the worst of circumstances. Attesting to its durability is the rumor that a soldier belonging to one Mandalorian recon squad had his rifle swallowed by a beast out in the field. After the beast was slain and the weapon procured, the rifle was still serviceable and able to perform at the same standard required to finish the mission, albiet with an unpleasant odor and discoloration from the beast's stomach acids.

Further features include the following:
  • Assault Mode: Assault mode is its typical 'blaster rifle' setting, which allows for fully automatic fire to provide covering fire or dish out destruction against a larger body of troops. Most professional soldiers prefer firing in bursts rather than utilizing its fully automatic ability due to recoil from the power of the weapon, said recoil mitigating its range south of 200 meters. In bursts however, the weapon is capable of reaching targets from 250-300 meters in the hands of adequately trained operatives.
  • Precision Mode: With the flick of a switch along the grip of the weapon, one can switch from assault mode to precision mode, which restricts the weapon to a semi automatic setting. Without the extended barrel (which can easily be stored amidst the operative's gear), the weapon is simply more accurate at the previously indicated ranges, allowing for targets at a medium range to be picked off one by one. With the extended barrel, and utilization of the compact scope (included), the weapon is capable of hitting targets with a high level of accuracy at ranges up to 400 meters.
All things considered, although the weapon is by far not the best sniper rifle out there, it is a very serviceable battle rifle and competent mid range sniper rifle when the needs of the mission require it to be so. Further customizations can include a hairpin trigger, more advanced scopes, and replacement stocks and grips, laser sights, etc. Due to its composite design, one may utilize parts of other weapons in the field to ensure their weapon remains serviceable.

CCT, or Concordian Crescent Technologies, is a company of my making. If you want this to be a product, we can talk. If not, please remove the CCT tag. Unless you have a different meaning for the term.

Ah, i wasn't aware that you created the company. I had just used it since i had seen several others with that tag. I'll change the title. ;)

It's alright mate, it's not especially clear yet :)

The rifle looks pretty darn cool though.

Thank you! I'm going to tell on myself: I looked at your submission before i posted this one. ;)

Not as far as I'm aware, no. You could also use MandalTech, or MandalMotors, canon companies.

I've made editions. i realized my ranges were in feet, when the rules allow for meters. lol. So effective at 200-300 meters in assault, effective up to 400 meters in precision.

You think that's a big deal @Silverface ?

I love this rifle. The image alone kinda made me need a change of underwear, and all-in-all it seems pretty solid. I like it.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna accept a gun that is "incredibly lightweight" and "extremely durable", thanks to a mysterious "Mandalorian compound and composite construction" that you don't name or explain. Especially not one that can pass through a rancor's digestion tract without any notable damage. Nevermind being functionally two guns in one, and one of those two guns that typically tend to be on the heftier side of the weight scale.

Also, how long does it take, and how complicated is it, to switch this gun from assault to sniper mode?

I'll make some edits to address being extremely lightweight and durable when I get to a computer.

As far as switching between modes are concerned, it would be as simple as flipping the switch and allowing a few seconds for the mechanisms to compensate, similar in practice to modern day weapons.

Revisions have been made, namely removing the 'lightweight' keyword, as I would prefer the weapon be durable over lightweight. So consider the lightweight construction a thing of the past. I have also added a bit to the type of construction utilized, but please let me know if the language is still too ambiguous.

Allow me to point out that, when i went back to edit, I did not recall seeing any mention of a Rancor in particular. Merely an unidentified beast. And I also did not mention anything about 'no notable damage,' but merely stated it was still serviceable.

Technically a weapon is still serviceable as long as the internal mechanisms are intact. And that is the thought I was attempting to convey.

As far as the beastie goes, it was a leap of logic/assumption on my part. Considering it had to be a beast large enough to swallow a decent sized rifle without much harm, and for it to be in the field where a squad of Mandalorians are running about, and being in a position to eat said rifle (and most likely the poor sod carrying it)... Rancor was the most obvious choice.

And I know what makes a weapon serviceable or not. You mentioned in your own description that the only notable negative effects on it was discolouration and a foul odour. That, to me, means intact.

After the beast was slain and the weapon procured, the rifle was still serviceable and able to perform at the same standard required to finish the mission, albiet with an unpleasant odor and discoloration from the beast's stomach acids.

That's too advanced for this timeline. Neither Clayton or I are about to approve a weapon that can instantly switch from a blaster rifle to a marksman's weapon with the flip of a switch. It should preferably involve partially dismantling the weapon, as in Star Wars, the lenght of the barrel is directly proportional to the weapon's range and power. It's why the Rebels preferred longblasters (yes that's a term) for battlefield work, compared to the more compact E-11 of the Stormtroopers.

If you want a modular weapon, go for it. However, please do note that it should, as I said, be an event that should take about a minute to accomplish. Changing the power settings, swapping out barrels, adjusting/swapping out optics, etc.

I'll tinker with it a bit and tag you again when finished. :) thanks for the advice.
