The Workhorse Rifle  Name • Mk.IX N-RF Soal Pattern Blaster Rifle Classification • Weapon Origin • Noddeg-Ruomra Forgeworks Specifications Size • - Height: 9 inches - Width: 3 inches - Length: 0.9 meters Appearance • Far from the most elegant or attractive looking rifle, the Workhorse's somewhat bulkier, rougher frame is very utilitarian, possessing none of the flash or sleekness other weapons possess. Comes in varying colours, though the base coating is a dull green, brown, or simple bare metal. Function The Workhorse Rifle is well known for its remarkably sturdy construction and ease of maintenance. It can be dropped, hit, submerged, used as a makeshift club, and still function with commendable results for a long time after even the most tremendous abuse. Its simple construction makes fixing or finding replacement parts for it virtually hassle free, and applying modifications to its frame and capabilities is relatively easy should the person possess the basic know-how. Each power cell magazine contains enough energy to produce 150 shots at the low power setting, at 220 rounds per minute on fully automatic, thought it can also be set to fire semi-automatically. The high power setting consumes energy at a much greater rate, allowing only 50 shots per magazine before it is depleted. It is also highly recommended not to fire the weapon on fully automatic while on the high power setting, as the heat produced may easily damage the weapon barrel and shorten its lifespan significantly, resulting in urgent replacement. Though it is recommended to recharge the power cells through an appropriate power source, veterans who utilise the Workhorse Rifle have found that exposing the cells to an open flame or bright sunlight can also recharge them sufficiently in a pinch, albeit at a cost to the power cells' longevity if such action is performed on a regularly basis. Features include: - Iron sights, with mounting available for a scope - Foldable stock for use in more confined environments and for ease of storage - Lug on the side for external attachments, such as a luminator or bayonet - Fire selector (Safety, Semi-auto, Full-auto) - Power setting slide (Low, High) - Clipping for under-barrel attachments, such as grenade launchers, bi-pods, spread barrels and so on. The single greatest drawback of the Workhorse Rifle is its lack of stopping power. Even on its high setting it falls just short of some of the other readily available blaster rifles on the market, causing many military and mercenary personnel to overlook it. However, there are still many veterans who swear by the Workhorse due to its rugged construction and, with a bit of skill, are able to use it to almost the same effect as other, more powerful blaster rifles. |
