Description
Deservedly
enjoying a reputation as the most powerful sporting
rifle in known space, the 12-81 can only be fired
from a rest with the integral bipod extended, and
even then the provision of an in-stock shock
absorber is necessary to avoid injury to the firer.
The rifle was originally designed to provide a
weapon with a high first-round killing capability
against the giant lizards of Wolf-424B-1, but has
since enjoyed wide use in the armed forces of
several nations as a long-range sniper rifle. The
French FTE-10 Gauss rifle is in many ways a more
modern version of the Rockwell 12-81 Magnum. |
