MSN B81

The MSN Bhist 81 is a single-shot rifle produced by Imperial Arms Manufacturing. It was the standard service rifle of the Khahlanong Imperial Army until the development of cartridge breechloaders in the late 1200s, and similar models were adopted by other nations across Duurn.   Besides standard jili-ball bullets (in the table), the B81 fired SAPLE and multiball. It took a 0.8-lb. socket bayonet (Reach 1, 2*).   The QeC M86 in .58 Caplock, which became the service rifle for several Jiderani nations until the early 1300s, including Loritania and Drizhni, was so close a copy of the Bhist 81 that the ammunition was interchangeable.   In 1295, Thandela Gobe developed a conversion of the B81 to use metallic cartridges. Called the MSN-Gobe B95, it replaced the B81 as the service rifle of the Imperial Army.   Alternate ammunition:
