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 at being average. This makes it a fairly versatile weapon.

The Blasta Rifle is similar to the Sonic Pistol, but is two handed, slower and packs less ammo. Instead, it gains an accuracy and power boost. It is quite notable for being able to fire pairs of shots each turn, either as two snaps or as an aim and snap. Similarly, it allows decent mobility as well.

Like all sonic weapons, the Blasta Rifle has no automatic fire mode.

The Sonic-Blasta rifle suffers from limited availability once the Sonic Cannon gains prominence. Heavy and continued use will require spending some Zrbite to manufacture the ammunition. Unlike the Sonic Pistol, the aliens do make use of this weapon much further into the game.

Overall, the Sonic-Blasta Rifle is a well balanced alien rifle that can be used as a primary squad weapon and in any role you can think of.

This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Plasma Rifle.

-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.
