*Sri grins at Devlin, clearly impressed.* "You're a man after my own heart, Devlin. Too many officers are scared to get their hands dirty, and think a good squad just happens. I daresay Archimedes here is more of an expert on coordinated attacks, though. Troopers are used to covering for others, and trained for it. Maybe gathering the squad wouldn't be a bad idea...." *He glances at Devlin's gun.* "Though if you're going to train on the gun, rather than just carry it, I'd say you'd best pick up a SoroSuub ELG-3A, or at the least, a Merr-Sonn 44. Either one will do more damage than that thing, and they're pretty accurate at range. Hell, even a SoroSuub SC-4 would be better, though those have that little tracker in them...." *He glances at Archimedes' weapon as well.* "Hmmm. Interesting weapon you've got there. I see you didn't go for the standard issue either." *He hefts his rifle.* "If you have a few credits, and a bit of time, I could speed up the harmonics on the energy crystal, and adjust the piping on the barrel. Looks like it's already a fine piece, but I think I could give you a bit more accuracy, and a longer range, though it's slightly less powerful. Still, a rifle like that, you'll hardly notice.... Parts would run you several hundred creds - 'bout a quarter what you paid. Or what the Emperor paid, more likely."
