The Latron is high-accuracy, semi-automatic rifle. It features a moderate to low firing rate and magazine size which is offset by its high damage-to-bullet ratio and ammo conservation. As a result, the Latron excels at longer-ranged engagement, but falls short when faced with large crowds in close proximity. Additionally, the Latron's exceptional accuracy allows for easier weak-point shots.

 * In addition, both are engraved with similar symbols on their respective barrels.
 * The Latron is most likely classifiable as a designated marksman rifle (DMR) or a carbine.
