Summary: The Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse-Rifle otherwise known as the OSIPR or AR2 for short is one of the most common armaments found in the arsenal of the Overwatch Transhuman Arm. Upgraded from the old SR-1A and influenced by the Synthetics Soldiers weapon of choice, this rifle is capable of packing one hell of a punch, mostly only being wielded by the OTA due to its sheer weight.
While its recoil is near non-existent due to its usage of pulse rounds, it can still be hard to control for the untrained shooter as the energy generated per shot tends to create a form of back-force capable of pushing the weapon upwards. The weight of the weapon helps with this, though in doing so, suffers the issue that only those with enough strength can wield it securely without dropping it to the floor.
It fires a solid 600 rounds per minute and is well-known for its capabilities of melting through hostile armor. On top of this, its magazine holds multiple cartridges each capable of holding a charge of 30 rounds each, meaning one magazine can hold up to around 150 rounds each, extra 30 already loaded into the weapon combining to a total of 180 rounds per mag.
