C-10 rifle

The C-10 Canister Rifle is a rifle used by Terran Ghosts that functions in a similar manner to a shotgun, albeit with high range and accuracy. It fires 25mm explosive rounds (canisters). These appear to be charged by energy rather than having an explosive yield, in that the rifle can be charged to deliver the rounds with increased power-enough to destroy a Siege Tank from the inside.

The rifle can also fire special lockdown rounds, which temporarily disable mechanical units. In addition, it can be fitted with a frequency targeting laser used to 'paint' targets for nuclear strikes.

Four years after the Brood War, the C-10 may have undergone some adjustments. It is now capable of acting more like a sniper rifle and firing (projectiles that deliver?) Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP).

A more sophisticated version of the C-10 may also exist.
