The IWS L325 was designed as a heavy weapon meant to be used by both military police and paramilitary constabulary forces, as an equalizer for increasingly heavily armed gangs, crime syndicates, and shadowrunners, drawing heavily from the British Army's experiences fighting in the Lambeth Containment Zone (the name, a designation number for British military weaponry, belays its origins as a limitedly accepted weapon among units patrolling the Squeeze). Unlike heavier weapons like the M107 and even the competing MAG-5, the L325 focuses on high mobility, high adaptability and quick action, built with exceedingly light composites and around an incredibly efficient design. The weapon itself has two clip feeds, allowing a soldier to switch from gel to regular rounds in any riot situation, or from regular to AV in prolonged urban combat. Also noticeable is its switchable barrel system, which includes the odd-addition of a suppressor, for many law enforcement organizations who wish to keep operations low-key and noise disturbance to a minimum. While the L325 has had generally positive reviews, it is not without its problems, most experienced operators criticizing the triggerless firing system (added mainly to keep the overly Smartlink-less Lambeth Martyrs from capturing and using the L325 as a 'trophy' weapon), the lack of total compensation from its alternate, gas-vented barrel, and its limited, fifty round clips, which necessitate frequent reloading in prolonged engagements. - Game Notes: The L325, as a Heavy Weapon, suffers from double uncompensated recoil. Its efficient design gives it two points of integral recoil compensation. The barrel is designed as an interchangeable porting system, allowing it to affix either a suppressor or a Gas Vent II (both included). While in combat or other stressful situation, changing the barrels requires a Heavy Weapons B/R (4) test, with a base time of six Combat Turns. The ported barrels may be changed freely outside of combat without a test. The L325 must use one of the two ported barrels, and may not have the barrel mount modified in any other way. The L325 can only use caseless ammunition. Finally, the L325 does not have a manual trigger, requiring a Smartlink to fire. Mounts Available: Top
