F1-Legros

"Long range semi auto relic with a punch."

The F1-Legros, usually shortened to just "Legros" is a long barreled semi-automatic rifle designed for long range engagement. The Defenders have access to this weapon, and it seems designed primarily to fit a niche for a hard hitting precision rifle. The weapon's overall recoil is incredibly high, and it can be fired much faster than the optimal speed at which one can control the recoil, doubling down on this effect. Coupled with the gun's high damage and bullet penetration, the gun is suited well for both attackers and defenders.

Strategy
Because the Legros' high maximum fire rate far exceeds the speed at which the rifle can be fired accurately, there exists a secondary niche for this gun at close range. This means while the gun does not exceed at medium ranges against the other fast-firing automatic and semi-automatic guns available, it does very well at both the extreme long and close ranges. Additionally, the LS45 or the Gat-9 can more than make up for that gap in the medium range if used appropriately.

Trivia

 * Instead of using a traditional magazine system, the Legros uses cylinder style mags which resemble a revolver speedloader. These are inserted directly into the gun.
 * This weapon cannot use either the attacker or defender suppressors.
 * While referred to in this article as a magazine, the game refers to the ammo holding device as a "packet" and it's unknown whether the game uses the inserted packet as a magazine, clip, or in some other fashion.
 * According to one of the developers, the Legros was based off of the Blake Infantry Rifle, but turned into a semi-automatic.
