***Weapon Specification/Facts***
1. The grenade launcher can have a magazine capacity of 1, 2 or 3 the default is 2, each capacity has its own magazine size to identify what capacity someone is using. No magazine means they are using 1 round. The reload time for the 1 round mag is 3 seconds, for the 2 round mag it is 6.5 seconds, for the 3 round mag it is 10 seconds.
2. The primary weapon can have a magazine capacity of 20, 60 or 100, the default is 60. The reload time for the 20 round mag is 2 seconds, for the 60 round mag it is 3 seconds, for the 100 round mag is 5 seconds.
3. The highest rate of fire is around 1200 rounds per minute on automatic.
4. The melee is raycast wall safe, it should not damage obstructed people, its range is 4 meters forward, in roughly a half circle arc, and does 3 collisions, the melee also does damage to objects that you hit.
5. The weapon inaccuracy is a cone like spray, it increases inaccuracy the longer you fire, so short controlled bursts if used on automatic is good for long range targets. The average spray is moderate.
6. The Flash bang grenade is raycast wall safe, it should not blind obstructed people in the blast range. It does 8 collisions + 16 LL damage on unobstructed hits, or it does 4 collisions + 4 LL damage on obstructed people in range. The radius is 5 meters (10m diameter). Blind is 100% and the blind fades after 6 seconds. It will damage/effect the owner and same group members.
7. The HE Grenade is raycast wall safe, it should not kill obstructed people in the blast range with one hit, it should take many. It does 30 collisions + 30 LBA damage + 100 LL damage on direct hits. It does 16 collisions + 100 LL damage on indirect hits within 3.25 meter radius (6.5m diameter) or it does 6 collisions + 20 LL damage on obstructed people in range. It will damage/effect the owner and same group members.
8. The Flare grenade is an AOE damage over time to objects and people, it does 2 collisions + 4 LL damage every 0.5 seconds in a 3.25 meter radius (6.5m diameter). It will damage/effect the owner and same group members.
9. The Gas grenade is a fast acting AOE damage over time and damages people but not objects. It does 5 collisions + 20 LL damage every 0.35 seconds in a 4 meter radius (8m diameter). It will damage/effect the owner and same group members.
10. The Smoke grenade does not do any damage and it visually effects anyone who enters it.
11. The Foam grenade will temporarily make people stuck if they touch the foam for a short period of time, the foam itself will hang around for 120 seconds, or until its 30 health points are depleted. It will damage/effect the owner and same group members.

Bug that needs to be addressed
First I would like to say that this is one of my favorite weapons, and I am only leaving a 3/5 review instead of 5/5 stars due to a bug that has recently appeared. Previously, this weapon worked flawlessly and without issue, but now apparently something has changed (likely with SL itself) that now causes the muzzle flash to constantly become visible, even if you so much as right click the weapon.
It is fixable somewhat, in that you can make the muzzle flash transparent, but I feel this takes too much from the look and feel of the weapon overall, so instead I'm leaving this hopefully temporary review with the aim of getting the attention of the creator and to hopefully let future purchasers be aware that this bug exists, and that it is indeed a bug (it didn't occur before) so that they don't get the wrong impression from the store.
Hopefully it can be addressed soon and I can correct my review to the 5/5 stars this weapon deserves!
Perfectly suited for combat and roleplaying
It's the fact that due to the different animations available for when your avatar is idle that I'm giving this weapon a high rating. I love the idea that I can just shut off the full AO and work with the Hybrid to give my roleplaying character the look I want. I love the modular features of it. I love the basic, futuristic design. Really, there's nothing to hate about this weapon.
Except for maybe the fact that like most other SL weapons, it doesn't have any animations suited for female shapes, but that's to be expected.
Just blown away!!
In a time in sl where prefab models and scripts rule supreme its nice to see creator stray away from that.. This is one of the best weapons I have bought in years. I have been in the sci fi rp community since 2007 and up until i bought this gun i was using older weapons because there was just nothing out there..I but this and yes its not cheap but for once you get what you pay for... I recommend this any rper are combat soldier are just gun lover!! Worth every damn penny!
A level of realism not normally found.
To set the stage, I'm both a Former US Marine, and a real mechanical engineer. I know a lot about weapons, and how things are designed and put together.
By far the creator of this weapon has really done their homework. Everything looks fantastically real, workable, and logical. They went above and beyond to make this weapon system as workable as possible, within the confines of the SL environment.
If we had the ability to pack the kind of energy density into a magazine/cell to make a 'rail sub machine' gun possible - I have no doubt it would look exactly like this.
I cannot stress enough how well made this weapon system is, the textures, mesh, physics, scripts, particles and sound effects.
Buy it already.
Masterpiece
Frankly, this is likely the best rifle you're going to find. Here's why.
Aesthetics:
It's a modular design, as you can see from the pictures included by the creator. That means you can take this rifle and stick it inside your own mesh if you're running with a theme. Rename and resize the bits you like and you're good to go.
The weapon itself comes with a whole host of wonderful features anyone can appreciate; multiple choices of sights, a detachable underslung grenadelauncher with three different magazine-sizes (with differently sized mags to show with your choice), detachable V-grip, laser / light unit.. I mean, really.. Anything you could ask for in a rifle, it's in here..
The sounds and animations are great. It sounds just as futuristic as it should, looking the way it does and the firing has a sort of 'ommph' to it that many other firearms lack. The creator has even added thin, sexy little smoketrails to your ammo (which you can disable if you dont like it) and I find those to be just that last piece of icing on a cake that makes it go from good to great.
Really, if you're getting a rifle for your cyberpunk / space-age combat, get this one. It's just.. So great!

Amazing Rifle
I have tested and used many different rifles throughout the market place and the grid. None have ever provided as much utility or refinement as the Paladin. If you need a universal rifle for every situation then look no further.
