User:Scarface11235/Scar's Tiger Rifle

The so called "Tiger Rifle" is the gun of James Charleston, which he used in his killing spree in New Reno, and subsequent escape, and has been his ever since.

Background
This rifle earlier belonged to Private First Class Riley of the NCR, stationed in New Reno in the year of 2264. Riley was the leader of the team sent to arrest the criminal of James Charleston for the killing of his own wife and child, and was subsequently killed in the ensuing combat. The weapon was taken by the fugitive, and used in the later killing of a major boss in the Salvatore family, as well as a large amount of his underlings. The weapon has not been seen in NCR territory since, as the fugitive disappeared into the wastes shortly after the killings.

Characteristics
The Tiger Rifle has a distinctly darker colour than most other Service rifles, due to the unusal wood it is furnished with, and also boasts a 12.7mm barrel and a 15 round magazine. It is thought to have been used in a road checkpoint before the war, and therefore has the large 12.7mm round to be able to effectively stop civilian vehicles. The ammuntion limits the guns range and penetration capacity, however, and is best employed against soft targets.
