Type-51C Directed Energy Rifle/Improved

The, or Plasma Assaulter as it's nicknamed, is the USR's new main weapon, replacing the plasma rifle in the Assault Rifle role (the Plasma Rifle now fills the role of SMG).

Description
The Plasma Assaulter is the middle ground between the Plasma Rifle and Carbine, having greater rate of fire than the Carbine but lower accuracy, and vice versa when compared to the Plasma Rifle. However, while it's the USR's new main weapon, it is still a plasma weapon, and has all the same weaknesses and advantages: overheating, good against shielding, weak against flesh, runs on a battery, etc. The build of the Plasma Assaulter is basically a slightly rearranged Plasma Rifle: the gun is nearly twice as long, with the grip and trigger taken out of the middle and mounted instead on the underside of the gun, close, but not at, the absolute rear of the gun. The two halves of the gun are brought together and merged (giving it a look like the Light Plasma Cannon), only separating at the very end, and a grip is added to the underside near the end of the barrel.
