XB-10s sniper rifle

The XB-10s sniper rifle was a military adaptation of the XB-10 blaster rifle manufactured by Parable Weapons. It was designed to increase the effectiveness of the XB-10 in actual combat by focusing the beam and increasing the power used per shot. The resulting weapon was an effective sniper, but not a practical infantry weapon.

During the Yuuzhan Vong war, the XB-10s was used in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong hordes. It was an effective weapon against the average infantry, but required precise aim to penetrate the armor of trained Vong warriors.

After the war, production of the weapon ceased, but usage continued. Sales of surplus remained to local governments, and black market sales were still high, due to the high performance of the weapon.
