R-22 Repeater Rifle

The R-22 Repeater Rifle is a heavy, two-handed energy rifle employed by the Grand Fleet. It is carried by heavy troopers of the Imperial Marines.

The armories of Imperial military instillations will commonly keep a few of these in the concealed weapons lockers that are throughout such facilities.

While all personnel are trained in the basic operation of these heavy-duty, powerful weapons, only those who specialize in heavy trooper tactics and operational strategy. Of the three personnel energy weapons wielded by Grand Fleet troops, this is the singularly most powerful, as it can be a danger to enemy vehicles and gun emplacements that are not too heavily armored.

The R-22 is a 2PE - Phased Particle Repeater - that fires beams of coherent particles which explode on contact with a solid surface. Commonly, each power which manufactures its own weaponry will have a discernible and unique color to the beams their weapons fire. In the case of the G-11 and all other Antaran designs, it fires bolts that have a pale yellow color to them.
