The NS-11A is a highly versatile assault rifle with minimal recoil, a highly desirable 25% (.75) movement speed decrease when ADS (aiming down sights) as well as a bullet velocity barely slower than the fastest sniper rifles (excluding the Railjack) in addition to access to high-velocity ammo. It has 5 more rounds in its magazine than its VS and NC AR counterparts but still falls short to the unrivaled magazine sizes wielded by the Terran Republic. It possesses a lightning fast reload similar to the Vanu Sovereignty's, further signalling that it is a mix of all three faction traits. Nanite Systems weapons give off a bright white bullet tracer and unique audio when firing that makes determining position and faction affiliation difficult, this rifle is no different.
