- Name: Vadász

- Wielder: Callum Abate

- Maker/Smith: Callum Abate

- Classification: Hybrid Melee Sniper Rifle

- Weapon Derivation: Kimber America Model 8400 Advanced Tactical SOC; arming sword, riot shield

- Form 1 Design: A modern bolt-action sniper rifle, on the left and right sides of the barrel, partially concealed inside the shroud are a pair of blades, roughly 2 feet long; with their tips protruding one inch beyond the barrel. A thin scope is affixed on the rail at the base of the barrel, used for sniping.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: Rifle has an arctic camo paint job, and blades are a muted grey color; it has attachment rails on the top and sides of the barrel shroud.

- Form 2: The barrel, scope, and blades eject from the shroud, leaving the stock, shroud, and functional components to transform into a shield.

The blades on the side of the barrel fold out, with the tips connecting in front of the barrel to form a full sword; the scope swings down, acting as the hilt.

The remaining portion of the gun (stock, shroud, and internals) splits in half on a hinge located on top of the stock, with folding panels sliding out to form a rectangular form; resembling a riot shield.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: The sword resembles an arming sword, with the barrel being whe the fuller would normally be placed. The scope forming the hilt is somewhat comical in appearance, but is effective and sturdy. The magazine well and spare mag are stored on the user’s side of the shield to prevent them from being lost or damaged. Shield has the same arctic camo as the rifle itself.

- Ammunition: FMJ 6.5mm Creedmor; 5 round magazines; carries a large number of spares on his vest, including several loaded with gravity dust rounds. The spare mag holder in the stock holds a ten round magazine of Gravity dust propelled APDS rounds designed to punch through armor as a last resort.

- Usage: Callum is a sniper first and foremost; using his weapon primarily for that purpose, he sticks to the rear lines in a fight and provides fire support for his team, or acts as an advanced scout. While not the most skilled swordsman, the blade is designed to carve easily through soft materials such as the unarmored parts of a grimm’s body, but proves highly ineffective against hard targets. The shield is used primarily as a defensive tool when forced into melee combat, lacking the mass needed for techniques such as bashing; with its main purpose being to stave off claws and teeth.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: Improve material components

- Notes: Vipera Vidasz is Hungarian, and roughly translates to Viper Hunter.
