Avenger Plasma Rifle

Manufactured by Section 6's Department Of Engineering, beginning in early YE 41 to be utilized by NDC Ground Forces "Duskerian Legion". It is also available for commercial sale.

In YE 41, Section 6 continued to face new hostile forces, and thus required a continuous advancement of weapons technologies. With the advent of kinetic/energy hybrid munitions like the S6-SCPR rounds used in the BW-MWS2 "Harbinger", before becoming standard for all weapons employed by NDC Ground Forces "Duskerian Legion". The next logical step was plasma, something that had only been partially explored in terms of munitions. A full on plasma based weapon system was drawn concepted and prototyped by Seraphina Cerulius, then later finalized and put into service by the Department Of Advanced Research And Development (D.O.A.R.A.D.). The Department Of Engineering made quick efforts to ensure this weapon was produced in sufficient number to arm the current number of armed forces members if necessary.
