Type-24 Heavy-Assault Application Rifle

The Type-24 "Shredder" Heavy-Assault Application Rifle was a frequently used heavy assault plasma weapon primarily used by the Gryllian Imperium. It was known to be able to destroy light vehicles with a barrage of plasma. It is the predecessor of the Type-72 Heavy-Assault Application Rifle.
==Design Details==
The T-24 Shredder Rifle was a heavy assault weapon fabricated by the Gryllian Imperium's Carimus Armory Forges in 2324. It weaponizes the fourth state of matter, plasma. The Shredder Rifle is able to use both semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire-modes. The weapon has two large blades jutting from the front of the weapon and has secondary blades closer to the barrel of the gun. Both blades have plasma outlining that can be activated to make the blades more deadly. This often makes getting close to the user dangerous. The barrel of the gun has two mini-barrels integrated into the main barrel, allowing more rapid fire. The damage caused by the plasma bolts fired from the gun cause mostly fourth degree burns upon direct contact while they can cause third degree burns from mere close misses, adding to the lethalty of the weapon. A single shot from this weapon can easily kill armorless and moderately-armored troops.
===Advantages===
The T-24 Shredder rifle is powerful enough to destroy light-weight vehicles in a single barrage and is capable of laying heavy supressive fire upon enemy infantry. It can kill enemies, unarmored or heavily-armored fairly easily. Due to it being a plasma weapon, it can also wreck havoc on shielding. It has two large blades on its front, making the user dangerous in close quarters combat.
===Disadvantages===
The T-24 Shredder rifle is heavy and large. Because of this, weaker species tend to move slower and stabbing at enemies make them vulnerable at varied times depending on the species. The weapon's fire rate also slows depending on how long the weapon fires. The slower rate of fire does not change the deadliness of plasma bolts fired, but it can open up the user more as the accuracy diminishes at some margin.
The range of the weapon may be further than many energy weapons, the bolts can still lose their power, speed, and impact. The range is given due to the bolts' magnetic field's strength and most namely, its speed. 
==Remarks==
* "When you see bright blue bolts soaring through the air like a swarm of angry hornets, you know you're in for a ride."
*"The T-24 is knarly. Reminds me of the Covenant's plasma repeater, but worse."
*"I watched a squad mate get gutted with this by a Hotel Bravo for getting too close. Nasty piece of work."
