C-10 Mk. VI.
The C-10 is a terran canister rifle issued to ghosts.[1][2] At least six versions of it exist.[3]
Overview
Mk. I-V
A C-10 during the Great War
Note: A degree of overlap may be present, but to prevent model speculation, information pertaining to early C-10s has been grouped into the same section. Time separation is still present however.
The C-10 was in use by 2491[4] and a relatively obscure weapon by this time.[5] These models were capable of firing lockdown and explosive rounds.[5]
By 2499, the C-10 mainly fired 25mm high explosive rounds.[1] This version was also equipped with a special[1] underslung low frequency targeting laser that was used to guide tactical nuclear missiles to their target with pinpoint accuracy.[1] It was also capable of using a variety of special munitions,[6] including lockdown rounds that temporarily disabled mechanized units caught within the blast.[1]
Mk. VI
- Horvald Winston on the Mk. VI(src)
The C-10 Mark VI entered service in the Terran Confederacy shortly before the Fall of Tarsonis. It was first used by Horvald Winston to kill a Kel-Morian mining baron, James Fortune. It entered the arsenal of the Terran Dominion, which has been unable to improve the design.[3] Its rounds appear to be charged with energy instead of relying purely on conventional explosives and had the power to destroy siege tanks from the inside.[7]
Although the Mk. VI is unwieldy in the hands of others,[2] ghosts are able to use it as both an automatic weapon[8][7][9][10] and as an anti-personnel sniper rifle,[11][12] capable of a one-shot kill.[2]
The Mk. VI is also equipped with a flashlight,[9] can fire EMP rounds,[13] and has retained the low frequency targeting laser that is used to guide tactical nuclear missiles and now drop pods to their intended destination.[2] The accuracy of ghosts has improved thanks to the Mk. VI containing a magnetic grid tracker to verify coordinates.[3]
