Arisaka-Pattern Lasgun



The Arisaka-Pattern Lasgun is one of the countless variants of the Lasgun. This variant is used extensively in the New Empire of Japan.

Overview
Manufactured by Gowa Machineries, this weapon is standard issue to all soldiers in the Army and Navy. It's cost, reliability, weight and accuracy made this weapon popular to all soldiers. The laser it fires is strong as a bullet from an assault rifle. It can be deadly to an unarmed opponent but well-armoured opponents find better defence from the weapon. As ammunition is particle-based rather than solid projectile, it reduces weight for each soldier to carry. Due to it's semi-automatic nature, soldiers are trained to make every shot count.

The lasgun found weakness in urban combat, resulting in large casualties. Seeing this pattern no long viable, the search for a new lasgun started and replaced with the M-38 Galaxy Lasgun. The Arisaka-Pattern was relegated to sniper and ceremonial roles.

Features
Like all Lasguns, the Arisaka-Pattern's lasers are powered from detachable and rechargable power packs. A power pack can last for an estimate of 150 shots before running out of power.

Sights are built on each weapon to give enough lead to fire at aircrafts.

Bayonets can also be attached for close-combat.

All military issued have the Imperial Aquila stamped on the rifle as it is under the service of the Immortal God Emperor of Mankind. Commercially sold Lasguns and military issue for other factions have the Aquila removed as it does not serve the Emperor.
