Type-72 Heavy-Assault Application Rifle

The Type-72 "Shredder" Heavy-Assault Application Rifle is a powerful heavier assault rifle that is commonly seen among higher ranking Gryllian officers of the battlefield. It deals more damage than lighter weaponry and is capable of destroying lighter vehicles in a single barrage of plasma. It is the descendant of the Type-24 Heavy-Assault Application Rifle.
==Design Details==
The T-72 Shredder rifle is a more powerful version of the T-24 Shredder rifle and still weaponizes plasma, the fourth state of matter. Schematic-wise, it is close to the design of the T-24. It has two forward forward plasma-edged blades and several smaller ones closer to the barrel. It also contains the double barrel with the main barrel to allow a faster rate-of-fire. The damage of the gun has not changed, but the rate-of-fire is faster than the T-24 at both a cool and heated state due to improved technologies. It has a more efficient battery consumption, allowing for more bolts to be fired. Its lethality is unchanged, with some exceptions.
===Advantages===
The T-72 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-72 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==
*"I remember being in a firefight with those Hotel Bravos when they had the T-24. Then I fought with them when they had these new ones. Glad I wasn't the enemy."
*"Fired the gun before. It has less kick than an assault rifle and more lethalness just like its older brother."
*"These rifles, while appearing less elegant than our T-55 'plasma rifles,' are quite efficient to eradicating the enemy. More so than our own weapons. I pray the engineers may take notice some day soon."
*"Don't get me wrong; Gardexian weaponry's still 'packs a punch' as you humans say, but the T72's got the power and lethality a merc looks for in a weapon."
