The Fuscina pi.I (simply known as a Fuscina) is a Colonial 3-round burst Rifle. It uses 7.62mm as ammunition.
Description
it is a Colonial 7.62mm 3-round burst primary weapon with 39-58 
damage, great fire rate (180 rounds/min), medium-to-long range (23m effective, 40m max), and a 18 round magazine. It has a decent accuracy and medium recoil. It loses stability quickly while moving. It regains its stability slightly slower than other rifles so a stable firing position is recommended.
Its higher fire rate for a rifle makes it suited for medium range. It often kills in two shots (43% chance) thus it can in a single burst within 25 meters. The gun serves as a shorter ranged alternative to the Argenti r.II Rifle.
The Soldier Uniform reduces the Fuscina's weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).

Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot). It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of Fuscina pi.I can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
The Fuscina pi.I is very good for suppressing defensive structures and players. A single soldier can suppress a Tier 2 Rifle Garrison with just a few magazines.
Because of its high fire rate and reduced accuracy, the Fuscina suffers in open terrian. Even the warden Blakerow outranges it, and the three round burst function makes recoil difficult to control at long distances. It is best used to assault trenches, suppress structures, and launch ambushes from a position where the player will have the stability hit targets with ease.
At night the Fuscina has the upper hand, as the limited view distance allows players to close in on the target to increase their accuracy and avoid being engaged from outside the Fuscina's range. However, the gun will struggle against SMGs in short range engagements, especially if the first burst misses.
It benefits from good cover not only because it requires a stable shooting position to be used effectively but also because it needs a safe spot for frequent reloads.
Trivia
- The Fuscina pi.I bears a resemblance to the FN FAL and H&K G3 series of rifles.
- In Latin, a “Fuscina” is a three pronged trident.
