BlasTech Starcat

This is one of BlasTech's first experiments in the grenade launcher market. It has not been as successful as they might have hoped. The design itself is an excellent one, but it uses a non-reloadable, prepacked magazine containing proprietary, caseless rounds that can not be reloaded or fired from anything else. In anticipation of this, BlasTech spent a large fortune on redesigning all of the popular specialty rounds, so that all common forms of 35×40mm ammo was copied in their 30×45mm design. Why they did this was a mystery, but it has been done. The Starcat is meant to be fitted under their rifles and carbines, with adapters to other major designs available. In general it is wonderful design, but BlasTech dropped the ball when they went to the special ammo.
