The Repeating Projectile Rifle, Or RPR-G/C, is Sometimes known as the Reaper, as it is a very accurate rifle at a number of distances. Based on the Repeating Gauss Sniper Rifle, it is a lighter-weight, weaker version designed as a weapon for scouts to use when the Sugar's bright flash can too easily show off the user's position, but a large dedicated Sniper Rifle is not Necessary.

--Shot type:
**Gauss-propelled 5.56x30mm Depleted Uranium Dart Sabot. Unlike Plasma weapons, which generally have very little feedback, this Gauss rifle has a fair amount of kick.
** Chemically-fired 5.56X20 Round: Unlike the Saboted Gauss round, the Chemical round is larger, and heavier, giving it greater stopping power. The power gap between gauss and chemical propellant, however, means that this round carries less overall power and range. The Kick is identical to the gauss round.
--Ammunition Storage:
** 24-round Box magazine (C): The 24 round box magazine detaches via a button on the side of the gun, allowing for easy removal to reload the Magazine. The Magazine of the C version can be reloaded when partially full.
- Chemical Magazines are Smaller and will not secure into the magazine slot of the G model of the RPR.
** 24-round Box Magazine (G): the Gauss version must have a charge to fire each round, and the Charges are held in the Magazine itself. Each Magazine carries enough power for 48 shots, meaning it can be reloaded after a full magazine and used a second time before charging is required.
- Gauss Magazines are Larger and will not fit into a C model of the RPR.
--Features:
** HUD-linked scope: with 20x Optical zoom and 200 times Digital zoom, the Linked scope helps add quite a bit to the rifle's effective range.
** Ironsights: integrated into the scope rail is a set of backup ironsights. not much use at longer range, they are still useful for short-range engagements if the scope is damaged or lost.
** Cocking handle: The RPR has an Ambidextrous cocking handle. The User pulls the lever back, and inserts the magazine, then presses the handle release, which chambers the first round and readies the weapon for operation.
** Telescoping Stock: The RPR's stock is capable of telescoping to accomodate a variety of users and firing positions.
