== Description ==
The '''Mauser 1200 Light Support System''' is a derivative of the [[Mauser 960 Assault System]] used by the [[Word of Blake]].  In the wake of the [[ComStar Schism]] the Word of Blake, in cooperation with arms manufacturers in the [[Free Worlds League]], updated the venerable design by removing the cumbersome survival kit while keeping the [[Vibroblade]] and six-shot [[Compact Grenade Launcher]].  While this allowed them to increase the intensity and armor-piercing capability of the laser rifle, during automatic firing tests it drained the [[power pack]] at an unacceptable rate, forcing the design team to reduce the rifle's rate of fire to a more energy-efficient level.  At its introduction the Word of Blake issued the new Mauser 1200s to its elite troops, including most of their newly reintroduced [[Nighthawk]] battlesuit squads.<ref name="CEp10+">''Combat Equipment'', pp. 10-11, "Mauser 1200 Light Support System"</ref>
