>>>>>  Mr Slyde  06/06/54  1428   "While this may appear to be quite the effective anti-vehicle weapon, it is not.   The more you fire it, the less effective it is.   The recoil is terrible, not to mention the loud explosions of the gun, which if you haven't noticed are on your shoulders next to your ears."  <<<<<

>>>>> Branski 09/30/53 0054    "These were the standard weapons of the western European countries, which, might I add were the losing countries." <<<<<

>>>>> KGB0843 10/03/53 1315  "I would have to agree with you comrade.   These weapons were built with cost in mind, not efficiency or quality.   At the time it was necessary to put weapons in everyone's hands regardless of the effectiveness." <<<<<
 
 

The gun itself is slightly larger than an Ares Predator II pistol, however, there is a cable that runs from the magazine well to a belt pack.    The belt pack is a power unit, which hold 60 pulses of power.    The weapon can be adjusted to fire 1 to 10 pulses per shot.    This determines the amount of damage done by the weapon.    The base power of the weapon is Medium, so a blast from this weapon firing 10 pulses would be 10M.     So the actual amount of ammunition varies, depending on what someone sets the pulses at.

An additional feature is enhancement.    Enhancement of the laser doubles the pulses put into a single shot and stages the damage power up one level, but doubles the cost of pulses.   For instance, a person that wants to cause 8S Damage would spend 16 pulses to do so.    Eight would be for the initial Code Rating of 8, and the second Eight would be to stage the damage from Moderate to Serious.   Staging the damage to Deadly, would double the pulses again, thus an 8D would cost 32 Pulses.

When a power pack is depleted roll a d6.   A roll of 1 results in the pack being burned out.    Any other roll indicates that the pack may be recharged normally.    Recharging a pack is a 24 hour process and can be done by plugging in the pack to any external power source.   Note, the weapon will not fire directly from a wall-jack or generator.

While the weapon itself is silent, the charging of the weapon makes a high frequency sound.    The weapon is listed as a Single Shot weapon because it takes 3 seconds to recharge enough energy to fire another round.

Damage codes are the same for hardened vehicles as well.   Halve all armor rating.
