The new NS sidearm-pocket-battle-rifle, the Blackhand, reviewed in 90 seconds. ~ Written Summary ~ Some of it accuracy stats are actually stronger than primary-weapon-slot battle rifles, as well as damage falloff and only slightly-worse (50) PV, that it actually gives the battle-rifle, as a primary weapon for some classes, a run for its money. Consequently, there's inherent utility value offered by taking essentially a mini-battle-rifle without having to specialize into medium-long range power with your primary weapon (this offers kit versatility since it can be taken with a shotgun, stalker and SMG infil's, Light Assault, etc). Present bugs aside, because there are three versions sold in the depot and the trial-version of the weapon comes with a scope and the "built in barrel attachment" you essentially have the full weapon's utility when trialing it and 3 trials per character, so you may as well try it out.
Another solid, concise and only slightly annoyed sounding review belthazor. Slightly Annoyed = Buy it Mildly Annoyed = Maybe YMMV Annoyed = Wait for a sale
