M-88 Blackstorm Assault Rifle

The Mandalorian M-88 Blackstorm Assault Rifle was a Spectre-exclusive weapon, made in conjunction with Spectre Armor. The weapon was powerful, with an intimidating size, impressive gas chamber, and an attached grenade launcher, making it one of the deadliest weapons in the Protectors' entire arsenal, and their deadliest personal weapon.

Unlike many conventional weapons, the M-88 was designed specifically to work with Spectre Armor. The armor contained an attachment behind the user for the weapon to be secured, and was directly interfaced with the armor's onboard computer via the armor's gauntlets and the weapon's grip. Computer technology interfaced in the grip relayed information about the weapon to the wearer, giving the Spectre consistent up-to-date information on the weapon at all times. When holstered, another link is relayed from the weapon itself into the armor, feeding detailed status information on-demand.
