	A dangerously common weapon amongst the Alien forces that see's use amongst most alien ranks. With an advance integrated targeting system and excellent ease of use, Alien forces employ this deadly weapon to devastating effect. Its natural high accuracy means even snap shots have a high chance to strike a target, and aimed shots are very unlikely to miss a target. This weapon has the second highest damage per shot of any Alien longarm outside of explosive weapons or a close range shotgun attack.

	The weapons classification as a Sniper rifle may seem deceptive and it may be better seen as a Battle Rifle, its excellent damage output and low time unit cost to fire means it can make an excellent weapon for a mobile soldier. A soldier wielding this can move a decent distance on the battlefield and have enough time units for two snapshots. Nonetheless this weapon excels in usage with a long range sniper. As with all Plasma weapons, this weapon is relativity light to carry at only 5 units.
