DEVELOPMENT
After proving in 2478 AT the Kazedama was approved for general purchase by the Kokubusho the following year. Since then, it has been phasing out the Arisaka T107 sniper rifle. The average unit cost is 1400 Jade Yen.
DESIGN
The Kazedama fires 15mm Q-Cyl ammunition. The targeting system takes the form of two miniaturized microprocessors that provide laser-based rangefinding, target designation, windspeed and other environmental information. They use directed holographic projection to provide sights for the user that are not easily visible from angles other than behind the gun, although there is also a rail for the attachment of a conventional scope.
