Magpulse
The Magpulse is a semi-automatic 6.5mm MI mag rifle with strong burst-per-shot, high range and Target-tracking on good rolls — FinalBoss ranks it the #2 Superior-tier weapon after the Magshear. It is less forgiving up close but hits like a truck in the open, and it doubles as a delete tool for chunky elites when treated as a deliberate marksman rifle.
