Santhe Small Arms Predator system


The most advanced entry from an otherwise uninventive company, the Predator system is a recent admission to the next generation of blaster rifles. It consists of a blaster rifle, a repeating grenade launcher and a folding vibroblade bayonet. The rifle is fitted with a passive light enhancing, autofocussing macroscope, which is backed up by a set of emergency iron sights olong the top of the scope and a white light/laser sight combination for close-up work. This has all been packed into a sleek, powerful package that is in the same genretion as weapons such as the BT EXK-10 and M-S M-435.

The blaster itself is relatively straight forward, with range, throughput and consuption rates on par with most of the popular rifles, such as the E11. The grenade launcher uses an unusual rail-gun design, which is fed from a four-shot, tubular magazine. The grenades are a propitary chambering that has an interesting feature of being able to use them as hand grenades by twisting off the fuse cover, manually depressing the fuse button, and throwing. So far, only fragmentation, stun and smoke rounds are in production, along with an interesting high explosive/dual purpose round that is being field tested. The grenade launcher itself has no recoil and no firing signature. As for the bayonet, it folds along side the rifle barrel when not in use, and can not be detached.
