Manufacturer: Mandal Arms
Production Line: R-Series
Model: SR10
Technical Weapon Designation: Heavy Support Sniper Rifle 10
Affiliation: Mandalorians
Availability: Exists in limited supply in Mandalorian military, more planned to be bought.
Modularity: The weapon is capable of attaching various types of scopes, a factory made attachment bipod included with the weapon, as well as a long suppressor for the barrel.
Composition: Durasteel
Ownership: Mandalorian marksmen and reconnaissance soldiers
Description: Mandal Arms set out to design a high-powered, long range sniper rifle for Mandalorian soldiers. They took design cues from the Mandalorian Ripper Mk 2, designed by another Mandalorian company, MandalHypernautics, as well as by the Wookiee bowcasters, in realizing that effective range of a slugthrower could become greater than that of a blaster rifle if it was enveloped in and propelled by superheated energy in a similar fashion to that of Wookiee bowcaster technology. With these prerequisites, they designed in the SR10 a large-calibre, high-powered sniper tool of death.
There were many drawbacks to the design such as low ammunition capability, heavy weight and powerful recoil. But the end goal was met; A sniper's tool of ultimate destruction, that could kill a man at a 2,5 km distance using a Mandal Arms designed high-quality sniper scope capable of infrared as well as regular sight. This combined with the high-powered ammunition easily tearing through both stone and armor allowed the weapon to take out enemies even through solid walls, making it even deadlier in the right hands.
The weapon has been field tested, and a great use has been found for it, not as a squad support sniper weapon per se, but as a precision tool for Mandalorian snipers. Mandalorian snipers will literally stay in the same position for days or weeks at a time waiting for their target, and when he appears, firing a single shot before disappearing. To such, this weapon is the perfect tool, especially when combined with the suppressor. It also worked well for snipers deployed to support Mandalorian ground teams from great distances in battle.
At these times the sniper was shown to be able to provide effective and deadly sniper cover without ever being at risk of being found by enemy forces, as the SR10 allowed for firing at great enough distances to remain unseen, and thanks to the suppressor, also unheard, and the enemy's first and only indication of a Mandalorian sniper would be a bullet slamming into their body seemingly from out of nowhere. This gave Mandalorian snipers great capability of carrying out their work effectively and uninterrupted, and the weapon was very well recommended by Mandalorian soldiers testing it.
Classification: Energy-propelled slugthrower
Size: Large...definitely large.
Length: 145 cm
Weight: 10 kg
Ammunition Capacity: Each magazine contains 10 rounds, and each power cell 30. Can also be equipped with a belt-feeding system to a box of 100 rounds each, though the power cells will still need to be replaced every 30 shots.
Range: 2,5 km
