Special Properties

Armor Piercing I with Intermediate Cartridges, High Powered II with Rifle Cartridges

Cartridge Conversion - On completion of a Short or Long Rest, you may change the R-21 to an Intermediate configuration, changing the cartridge used and allowing for a higher fire rate but cutting the range from 225/450 to 180/360. Changing it back requires the same time duration.

Loading: Uses a bonus action to fast reload (involves dropping the magazine to pick up later), requires a full action to reload Jamming: On a critical failure, roll a 1D12, if it lands on a 3 or less, the weapon is jammed and requires an action point to clear the jam Handling: 2-handed

A late pre-cataclysm design meant to replace the aging Volkner KG3 as the primary Paraktian armed forces standard issue rifle, the R-21 boasts a high degree of modularity and is also very lightweight and durable for what it is. It is effectively based on the Morgan Arms A-15 platform and is ambidextrous with its control systems. It can use both intermediate and rifle cartridges, but has to be converted during a short or long rest. The Erimipoli guard adopted and replicated this weapon for its interoperability with other weapons platforms as ammunition reserves started dwindling.
