Arasaka HJSH-18 Masamune

The HJSH-18 Masamune (Japanese: 正宗) is a Power Assault Rifle manufactured by Arasaka in.

Characteristics
The Masamune is a high-quality assault rifle based on the Nowaki from the early 21st century, and, like its predecessor, fires exclusively in a highly accurate, predetermined three-round burst with each pull of the trigger. The weapon has a 24-round magazine with an average reload time.

A difficult to come by version of the Masamune, utilized by Trauma Team, can be found on the corpse of a fallen solo in an alley North East of the Hargreaves St. Waypoint marker in Santo Domingo.

It is possible to install a short or long scope and a muzzle attachment. Mods can be installed at rarity and above.
