Blaster Rifle, Merr-Sonn LD-1 Sniper's Blast Rifle

Merr-Sonn's LD1 is an expensive and rare "target rifle" sold to sports shooters, hunters, and anyone else who has the credits and proper licensing and wants to hit targets at fairly long ranges with personal weapons.  Alliance Intelligence and SpecForces use this weapon and others in the same class to pick off targets at extreme range.

The sniper's blast rifle requires a power pack to function.  After 10 shots, the power pack must be replaced.

Game Notes: This weapon has a built-in macroscopic sight and auto-steady gyrogimbals.  This provides a Spot range increment of 12 meters (instead of the usual 4 meters). When used during combat, divide range by 3 before determining range penalties (this does not change the maximum range of the weapon). However, to use the macroscopic sights, the character cannot move more than a 2-meter step in that round and he loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense.  Adding any other sighting improvements requires the removal of this macroscopic sight.
