• The muzzle velocity is over 5000 ft/second.
• The weapons have a peep sight to aid the soldier for aiming.
• The weapon is easily customisable, having a small rail system around the gun's barrel. This gives the soldier the opportunity to customise it to suit their needs in any given situation.

The weapons are very bulky and large. For the weapon to be sent off for war, it will be tested to see if the weapon is safe for the user. The weapon is known to be perfect for open combat but is criticised for being dreadful in compact areas. Like jungles, cities and towns. Because the weapon is too big and causes too much trouble for the soldier to use in these environments. The weapon cannot have any sort of barrel attachments. Meaning the user can’t attach a suppressor or silencer to make the weapon stealthier. The weapon is purely designed for trench warfare. The weapon is however very reliable, safe, and deadly compared to other weapons in the galaxy. But the problems of the weapon is purely situational.
