Troopers trained to use rifles with utmost precision over longer ranges. The standard E-11 and E-45 are relatively compact weapons designed for us in a range of environments, here you will learn to use more bulky rifles on the field. Whilst less effective in close quarters these weapons greatly surpass an E-11 in terms of accuracy over a long range.

Activity Requirements[edit]

Level 1

Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

You will spend two weeks on the range using rifles over longer distances as well as being taught maintenance for the certified weapons. You will also study tactical theory relating to your new role. Your story will be a 1000 word post about your final live fire excercise. You and a squad of fellow trainees will advance across a wide open valley opposed by a squad of training droids.

"Listen, this 'spray and pray' philosophy is a bunch of bullshit. Remember this: if you can't do it with one bullet, better not to do it at all.
