Rifleman Archive

anyone remember that rifle han solo used to blow the shuttle out of the air in one of brian daley's books. THAT is the rifle we need at master. big slow and POWERFUL.

I've been crying for months that we need specialized weapons at the top of the chains. An actual sniper rifle, an actual assault rifle, so on and so forth, make it something really worthwhile to go after the sniping tree, not just for the dinky sniper shot, give us an actual sniper rifle. Like, double the reg range (don't even get me started on a range rant ), really really high damage and really really terrible speed. Something similar could be done for pistoleer and carbineer. I don't like having just the T-21 sitting at the bottom of the rifleman tree (and some servers don't even have it yet anyways!)

The T21 was a gun like that, too. Just look at what has been done to it. It's a disgrace! It's a massacre of weaponry! It's sad.

indeed. more variety and better distribution of weapons is what i rambled about in a different post. it is quite irritating the things that all of us know should be done but the devs blaintenly ignore or just dont get how/why these things are nesecary.

Han Solo and the Lost Legacy... and I believe the rifle made it into the Solo action figure of the mid 90s (I have it, as a matter of fact)

Is it just me, or Daley's trilogy right near the top of Star Wars EU, cool factor-wise?

found this on a resource webby for the paper based RPG Star Wars game (i think anyway) - http://www.swtft.com/blasters/mssx451.html
- would be kinda groovey

Merr-Sonn SX-451 Heavy Sniper Rifle

The Merr-Sonn SX-451 Heavy Sniper Rifle is one of the premier heavy sniper rifles on the market today. It is closer to a piece of light artilery than it is to a personal weapon. The mission of the SX-451 is to destroy material, vehicles and crew-served weapons from a distance, usually outside of the enemy's perimeter. It is also being used by law enforcement authorities to neutralize armed criminals who are hiding behind cover capable of stopping a lesser shot, to destroy explosive devices where they lay and to disable a felon's escape vehicle.
Having the range and power of the famous BlasTech E-Web heavy repeating blaster, the SX-451 is not a small weapon. It is nearly two meters long and 15 kilograms in weight, making it unsuitable for all but a few specialized missions.

For transportability, the rifle breaks down into four pieces (barrel and scope, bipod, action and stock) and packs into a case or a specially-built packframe. Reassembly takes about a minute, with no special tools (just a credit chip, screwdriver or other similar tool). The scope is built under license from BlasTech, as it utilizes the thermal, ultraviolet and passive light enhancement composite image systems normally found on such weapons as the Sharpshooter V and the AT-1 rifles, while improving on the haze and smoke filters. Unfortunately, due to the power, the capacitors in the trigger group must be quite powerful, but compact for portability. The trade off with this is a 20 second recharge time on the firing mechanism.

yeah they are pretty much the only decent SW books other than the bounty hunter trilogy and that doesnt really fit in with the rest of what is written about bobafett

Hopefully we'll get new weapons next year with the expansion.

hopefully they arent letting the guy who designed the scatter pistol, republic blaster, spraystick, and commando weapons do the artwork.

whatever we get it should be twice the size of the t21. and we should have to drag it around behind us.

Make us have to store it on a mount and walk in front. Whatever it takes to get some horsepower in the game.

PS>. Give us some Gemstones on Tarq! hehehe. No T-21s
