DESCRIPTION
The CAM-70 is the latest in technology, serving as a premium multi-purpose blaster rifle for those unafraid to pay for the privilege of owning it. Originally designed for use with special forces units embedded within the Grand Army of the Republic, and for defense forces of powerhouse core worlds such as Corellia and Kuat, the CAM-70's appeal is the ability to modify it between two distinct settings so as to cater to a variety of applications. In it's default setting, the CAM-70 handles like a standard blaster rifle, designed to fire as quickly as one can pull the trigger. It's composite design allows for the internal power system to be altered for higher demand, affording the accuracy and power of a sniper rifle at the cost of increase energy draw of the power pack (and therefore reduced magazine size), as well as drastically increased recoil ( reducing effective rate of fire).Further modifications may include either an optical scope or laser sight; a tactical flashlight or stabilizing tripod; and an extended barrel attachment. It should be noted that while the ability to switch configurations between standard and sniping is possible, it is only possible to do so when stripping and reassembling the weapon into the appropriate configuration and with the proper power system demand setting chosen, and cannot be done 'on the fly' in tense combat situations. To do so would carry a high level of risk in overcharging the power demand of the internal system, and likely result in the weapon exploding in your hand rather than throwing blaster bolts down range. The task of doing so requires the powerpack to be completely removed from the weapon and for the assembly to be taken apart and reassembled into the desired configuration, with the overall process taking anywhere between 5-8 minutes. Due to the value such a platform affords those who don't have the ability to carry several weapons on their person, the price tag of this weapon is considerable to say the least, lending itself to its original design function of serving the interests of special forces outfits and established mercenary units.
LEGALITY
Given the fact this weapon is considered to be a highly lethal weapon, carrying it openly on core worlds without an appropriate permit is strictly prohibited. If proper permitting and licensing from local jurisdictions is acquired, and if the appropriate paperwork identifying that the weapon is a registered Czerka-purchased product is maintained, most law enforcement agencies will begrudgingly allow one to carry it. That being said, most heavily populated precincts will still demand you safely store the CAM-70 on your ship or temporarily turn it in at the nearest office. Circulation of this weapon is very limited outside of official use with major militaristic entities. While versions have been sold with fraudulent registration papers on the black market, to obtain one in such a manner would take considerable resources and contacts. Even to acquire this weapon legitimately would require extensive background checks on the part of Czerka Arms as well as the ability to meet the considerable price tag.INTENT
To create a reasonably modifiable weapons platform that is available to those with the credits to purchase it that can cater to a variety of applications without having to carry out multiple weapons. Plus, I like the picture. ADVANCED TECH
(YES. Definitely requires a plot to acquire.) Must be purchased through well connected members of the black market or through Czerka Arms. To purchase through Czerka Arms would require a significant background check, whereas in the black market, as always it's about who you know and how many credits you're willing to pay.
