Sonic-Blasta Rifle - Revision history

Magic9mushroom: Every Escort after May will have 100% Sonic-Blasta Rifles, and Escorts are very common, so while they don't quite grow on trees I'd hardly call it "limited"

For the most part, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle will eventually be phased out in favour of more potent alien weapons. Heavy and continued use of the rifle may eventually require X-Com to manufacture ammunition itself (which requires significant quantities of [[Zrbite]]). However, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle will always remain available on [[Survey Ship]] and [[Escort]] missions.

	~~The Sonic-Blasta Rifle is the second weapon in the Sonic Weapon line. It is a high powered rifle that delivers a powerful sonic wave that can deal significant damage to most targets.~~

	~~The Sonic-Blasta Rifle is neither the fastest, most accurate or most powerful of the sonic weapons. Instead, it excels simply by being average. This makes it fairly versatile.~~

	To gauge its performance, the [[Sonic Pistol]] will be used as the baseline to present the Sonic-Blasta Rifle's qualities. The Sonic-Blasta Rifle loses the advantage of a one-handed grip and its ammunition clips retain 5 less rounds. Firing modes are 10% slower than the pistol but snap accuracy has improved by 10% while aimed accuracy enjoys a remarkable 25% improvement over the Sonic-Pistol. Average damage has increased by 15 points, allowing for an additional 0 to 30 points of damage per shot. As with the other sonic weapons, it does not have an automatic fire mode.

	~~The Sonic-Blasta rifle also suffers from limited availability once the [[Sonic Cannon]] gains prominence. Continued use will require spending some Zrbite to manufacture the ammunition.~~
