The Sonic-Blasta Rifle is the second weapon in the Sonic line. It is a high powered rifle that delivers a powerful sonic wave that can deal significant damage to most targets.
The Sonic-Blasta Rifle is neither the fastest, most accurate nor most powerful of the sonic weapons. Instead, it excels at being average. This makes it a fairly versatile weapon.
The Blasta Rifle is similar to the Sonic Pistol, but is two handed, slower and packs less ammo. Instead, it gains an accuracy and power boost. It is quite notable for being able to fire pairs of shots each turn, either as two snaps or as an aim and snap. Similarly, it allows decent mobility as well.
Like all sonic weapons, the Blasta Rifle has no automatic fire mode.
For the most part, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle will eventually be phased out in favour of more potent alien weapons. Heavy and continued use of the rifle may eventually require X-Com to manufacture ammunition itself (which requires significant quantities of Zrbite). However, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle will always remain available on Survey Ship and Escort missions.
Overall, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle is a well balanced alien rifle that can be used as a primary squad weapon and in any role you can think of.
This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Plasma Rifle.
