FR-27 Sanction Flechette Rifle



The FR-27 SFR is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
The FR-27 SFR (Sanction Flechette Rifle) is a modern bullpup fully automatic and ambidextrious assaut rifle developed by Steiner Bisley. Instead of firing bullets, the FR-27 SFR fires fletchetts.

Characteristics
The flechettes are faster and more powerful than conventional bullets (an effect of being larger, heavier rounds). This power comes with a cost though as only 20 rounds can be held in a single magazine. During reload, the rifle is broken open and a fresh magazine is inserted by the top of the rifle. The cocking hand on the left side is rotated clockwise by the player. The FR-27 SFR can fire Osprey Ltd FR-27 Flechette Ordinance rounds. These rounds have a guidance system, which uses a rifle-mounted targeting system to steer the projectile in-flight. During the reloading scene you can also see the barrel overheat and turn to red. The FR-27 is widely used by Bell Tower mercenaries.

Behind the scenes

 * The FR-27 looks like the Famas assault rifle and a Seburo assault rifle from Ghost in the Shell for the receiver.
 * It also inspired H&K G11 caseless assault rifle for the charging handle and gas operated rotary breech and the hand guard is the same as the H&K G36c.
