R111 Heavy Rifle

The R111 Heavy Rifle is a higher calibre version of the R101 Compact Carbine, with greater stopping power and effective range. It is somewhat heavier, however, being akin to a Hemlock in terms of weight, and possesses a lower rate of fire than its smaller counterpart. It has a slightly larger silhouette as well, having to accomodate a larger round and reinforced barrel as standard, allowing it to take on a greater variety of roles due to a greater selection of ammunition.

Weapon Specifications
Whilst visually and functionally similar to the R101, the R111 has a larger, more boxy shape, as well as deeper grooves in the pistol grip and a curved magazine, helping the operator keep the Heavy Rifle's recoil under control. Its larger calibre has resulted in a restricted magazine size, though the damage inflicted by a single round easily outstrips that of lower calibre R Frame weapons, making up for this shortcoming. At least one grunt per fireteam will be issued a Heavy Rifle to assist in taking down robotic targets and Pilots (the latter having body armour which can severely impede the effect of 7.82mm> rounds), and some Pilots take the R111 over the Carbine due to its improved killing power.
