Milner Pattern Surveyor Rifle

thingiverse

Human: A derivative of the Milner Pattern Laser Rifle, designed for advanced users. The large scope mounted on top is actually an Auspex, drawing power from the weapon's magazine. This scope requires constant power to operate and will not function when turned off, limiting its effectiveness in certain situations. The scope itself is a high-tech electro-optical sensor with a viewer, capable of seeing in multi-spectral, thermal, and low-light modes. These features can be electronically magnified up to 8 times for enhanced clarity. Large knobs on the side allow operators to quickly switch between different modes, but more importantly, the sensor system acts as an auspex/surveyor, detecting objects and displaying their locations on the screen with arrows indicating ranges at the corners of the display. This feature is particularly useful for navigating complex terrain or tracking down hidden enemies. In addition to its advanced auspex capabilities, this device also features a radar sensor that can detect objects within a 120-degree cone in front of it, up to a distance of 90 feet. This allows users to gather vital information even in complete darkness, thick fog, or when an enemy is attempting to remain invisible through stealth or camouflage. The main drawbacks of this advanced device are its limited battery life, significant weight, and the glare produced by the sensor screen, which can be distracting under certain lighting conditions. Despite these limitations, it was designed to compete with the Fowler Survey Carbine, a smaller, more compact option that is better suited for use by younger or less experienced users.
