C-20A rifle
From StarCraft Wiki
|
The following section contains information from StarCraft: Ghost that is ambiguously canonical. |
The C-20A is a terran canister rifle that acts as a theoretical successor to the C-10 rifle. It was in use by 2500,[1][2] though its predecessor continues to remain in service.[3]
The C-20A was a usable weapon in early builds of StarCraft: Ghost, but was removed from the game by BlizzCon 2005.[4]

[edit] Functions
The C-20A is a customizable weapon with a variety of functions. Known functions include;
[edit] Assault Rifle
The C-20A can be customized quickly into an assault rifle, especially effective in close quarters.[5] It has a 24 round magazine and is referred to as the C-20A gauss rifle in this mode.[6]
[edit] Grenade Launcher
The C-20A features an in-built grenade launcher attachment, capable of lobbing a variety of grenades.[5] Known varieties include;
[edit] Sniper Rifle
The C-20A can function as a sniper rifle. By attaching a scope, the C-20A effectively becomes a sniper rifle. It gives info on the target such as health, range and whether they can be locked down.[5]
[edit] Development
The multifunction C-20A was replaced by a few specialized weapons in later builds of StarCraft: Ghost. The assault rifle role went to the AGR-14 rifle, the sniper rifle role went to the BOSUN FN92 rifle, and the lockdown capability went to the E-11 Lockdown Device.[4] The appearance of the C-20A may then have formed the basis of the submachine gun.
It appears that the concept of the C-20A remains however, as a cinematic sketch at BlizzCon 2008 shows Sarah Kerrigan using an automatic rifle akin to the C-20A at New Gettysburg.[1]
