Claude Murdoch converted the de rigeur MT TL-13 laser rifle into FF&S
stats.
The IA X1102D is Instellarms above average Imperial tech level offering of a
laser rifle, available to populations with the appropriate law level allowing
possession of energy weapons.
While the weapon will inflict damage on unarmoured objects, its lack of
penetration presents no danger to even moderately protected targets.
Without its electronic sight, the weapon has found favour with hunters, as its
long range, zero recoil, and high damage virtually guarantee a trophy for the
wall. Recreational users will usually opt for the lighter weight 5-round power
pack if an actual dismounted hunt is conducted.
The weapon is also suited for paramilitary deployment, particularly those
involved in stabilization/civilian suppression operations, or similar situations
involving masses of unarmoured targets. Forces involved in such operations will
usually equip the weapon with an under barrel mount, allowing for the addition
of a Gauss weapon or grenade launcher, thus providing armour penetration should
the situation dictate.
The X1102D is also a favorite of transportation security forces, be they space,
aerospace, or surface-based. The weapon offers the advantage of neutralizing
unarmoured threats, without the danger of hull penetration, and is easy to
handle in zero gee by any individual versed in zero gee maneuvering (no
necessity to compensate for recoil, though handling the weapon tactically will
possibly introduce unexpected forces on the individual).
The weapon is hardened to "melee" standard, to survive both in the bush and on
the riot line. The proliferation of the weapon through settled space has spawned
a huge market in after market parts and accessories. These range from bayonets
to dedicated grenade launchers and gauss weapons. There are also software
additions to the sights and power modulators/management systems for the power
packs.
