Mounting a weapons array designed to take advantage of ambush opportunities offered by its stealth systems, the ''Raptor II'' features two [[Streak SRM-6]]s and two [[ER medium lasers]]; in keeping with the secrecy surrounding its manufacture, the brand(s) of the weapons is unknown. The effectiveness of the Void Signature and MASC systems ensured the ''Raptor II'' closed to optimum weapons range in an instant.<ref name=JSTBD/> Mounting a weapons array designed to take advantage of ambush opportunities offered by its stealth systems, the ''Raptor II'' features two [[Streak SRM-6]]s and two [[ER medium lasers]]; in keeping with the secrecy surrounding its manufacture, the brand(s) of the weapons is unknown.
