Character/Crew: Victoria Locke
Name: Gatling Rifle Prototype Model 13, Retribution
Type: Weapon, Rifle
Description: Marine R&D has given Victoria a new rifle prototype to wield. She has affectionately named it Retribution. It is 41 inches long and weighs only bit more than an average rifle thanks to the light materials used. The base and stock are dark wood, the same as with standard rifles. However, instead of a single barrel, it has a rotating cluster of eight, bronze-colored barrels. The rounds are loaded in from the left side with a belt system. Victoria carries it around with a shoulder strap.
Retribution has certain advantages over a standard rifle. It features a far greater rate of fire while the belt feed system negates the need of reloading. Each shot holds the power and speed of a high-caliber rifle round. Sustained fire can quickly get through even thick defenses. Lastly, it has somewhat longer effective range than most rifles, making it very effective at providing suppressive fire.
Unfortunately, the prototype also has certain design flaws. Despite the relatively light weight, it’s still cumbersome to aim. The gun isn’t quite as accurate as a standard rifle and high rate of fire also brings heavy recoil. Victoria has to stop and steady herself while firing if she wishes to hit anything. Also, it takes few seconds after pulling the trigger before the gun reaches full firing speed.
Total Cost: 7000 beli
