E21A Weapon Series

The E21A Weapon Series is a personal defense weapon system that was developed by Grissom Armory as a multi-role sidearm to be used by all Ra'dam Federation personnel in the wake of the Cerberus Galactic Conflict.

Overview
The Esteemed-21A is a lightweight, compact sidearm that operates via mass acceleration technology built within the weapon itself. Firing a 5.56x45 AP round with a 12 round magazine makes this small arm weapon a capable defense weapon.

While it does not fire fast compared to other weapon systems of its classification, the Esteemed makes up for it in accuracy. Often called the "Sniper Pistol" by infantrymen, the Esteemed's range has been credited as a key feature of its build.

When the Galactic Conflict came to an end, like the majority of the Federation small arms, they fell into the hands of colonials during the Colonial Wars. As well as into the hands of Raiders and Bandits.

Variants
E21A - Base model, used by policing forces and colonial garrisons.

E21A-11 - Military variant of the sidearm, used by naval crews both ship and stations.

E21A[B] - Army variant of the sidearm, used by Federation infantry. Featuring a more durable body for harsh environments.

E21A-15[Q] - Special Forces variant, used by Federation Blackwatch. Offering carbon fiber body system, a further increased durable frame, heads up display integration and optional suppressor.
