-The Bolt Caster is a unique weapon from the Alien Hunters DLC, with only one available per campaign. While it counts as an assault rifle, it has higher damage, aim and crit bonuses, shreds 1 armor and has a 20% chance to stun on a hit, which becomes 30% on Alien Rulers. As a counterbalance, it has only 1 shot available before having to reload, and it can't be modified with weapon upgrades.
+SMG-type weapons can be used by most classes. They do lower damage than assault rifles and have more falloff at range, but increase mobility and more accurate at close range. They also slightly decrease infiltration time for the soldier carrying them.
