====== D-1 Dross Assault Rifle ======

**Description:**\\
The Dross is the main Drathonian small arms weapon. It is sturdy, reliable, and most importantly for the Drathonians, cheap. Though the recoil is heavier than that of the Terran S/GAR, it is still mild, even with the additional weight to buffer the effects. Accuracy is also inferior to the S/GAR, only able to hit within a two foot diameter spread at three hundred meters. The Dross was designed with Drathonian physique specifically in mind; since their arms hang, the rifle is held against the rib cage, and the trigger is pulled upwards to fire instead of back, like in a Terran firearm. This makes it nearly impossible to fire comfortably from a Terran's shoulder, though firing from the hip is a little easier. \\
