DESCRIPTION
Known as the "Vapor Maker" the R-10B Cut its teeth on heavy fighting in the outer Rim where close engagements were common among less civilized worlds. a single Infantryman equipped with this weapon would be able to lay down a short burst of heavy blaster fire, holding back oncoming enemies or gunning down large numbers of them very quickly. it could either be set in Semi-automatic or Full-auto depending on the needs of the soldier, making this weapon highly versatile. its forward grip could be flipped to a position horizontal to the ground, allowing a soldier to fire the weapon on full auto with a greater deal of control, this of course would be at the sacrifice of accuracy. the heat sink on the front dispersed the heat produced by the high rate of fire and could be replaced when worn out thanks to the Ceramic coated locking lugs located at the base of aforementioned heat sink. this weapon was equipped with standard 25 round magazines of high-energy plasma, which while sacrificing high capacity, gave it an impact well worth the sacrifice.LEGALITY
Highly Illegal on civilized worlds like those in the core and mid rim. Outside wild space and the Outer Rim these weapons would likely be a one-way ticket to a police raid. Most often used by Criminal organizations within those regions.INTENT
The intent of the weapon was to lay down heavy blaster fire during close engagements and to offer soldiers on the safer end of the weapon a blaster which could bring heavy damage to enemy units.the philosophy behind the weapon has less to do with killing and more to do with maiming, leaving the enemy with many wounded men and slowing down their movement and destroying their morale. A truly Barbaric weapon for a more Barbaric Age.
