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.
