Sonic-Blasta Rifle

General Information

The sonic Blasta-Rifle is a very minor upgrade to the Sonic Pistol that provides a small accuracy and damage increase at the cost of speed, clip size, a two handed grip, and a longer barrel. The sonic Blasta-Rifle, like the Thermic Lance, is perhaps one of the least remarkable of its series.

Do not misunderstand, it is a powerful weapon that can do tremendous amounts of damage in the right hands. It outclasses any ballistic human weaponry by its sheer power alone. However, it doesn't particularly excel at anything, and also, being a sonic weapon, it lacks an auto fire mode.

In a twisted way of thinking, one could argue that this was the Blasta Rifle's strength. It builds on minor aspects of the gun above and below it in small ways.

So should you go for that extra shot from the pistol, go the middle ground and use the rifle, or lose a shot but gain brute force and inhuman accuracy? That's a tactical decision best left as a practical exercise.
