LASER WEAPONS
ARASAKA
HLR-12X (prototype) 150,000eb
RIF - +3 - N - ER
- 3D10-9D10 (laser) - 2 minutes -
20-1 - VR
Arasaka once again leading the way in weapons research and
development have created a true battlefield laser
rifle. While still in experimental stages and unknown
to the general public, Autumn Blade has managed to get hold
of 9 of these weapons, and are taking bids now. It
operates from a heavy battery belt, and has a variable
setting dial, allowing it to either fire 20 shots on low
power, or one shot when cranked up to maximum power.
Recharging the battery belt takes 6 hours. (3d10 for
100 three second shots on lowest setting, 6d10 for 10 three
second shots on medium setting, and 9d10 for 2 three second
shots on maximum setting.)
ARASAKA
HMWBW-12 12,590eb
SPECIAL - +2 - N -
R - special (microwave) - 1 - 1 - VR
Another new and innovative weapon from Arasaka. This
weapon is a one-shot heavy microwave gun. Developed
to take out the electronics of a target even though
shielding, it has a range of 150 meters. Unlike
normal microwave weapons, which project a wide spread
pattern of microwaves, this weapon fires a tight condensed
beam (about 8 inches in diameter) at the target, disabling
its electronics even through most shielding. This
weapon uses and expels a lot of energy, so is powered by a
very powerful battery (about the size of a car battery but
much stronger). It must be recharged for 12 hours
after every use. This weapon is perfect for SWAT
teams, although its hefty price tag will keep it out of
their hands for now.
ARASAKA/USAF
"STARBURST" 60,075eb
EX - +3 - N - VR
- 4D6 (laser) - 40 - 1
- ST
The big brother and slightly less sophisticated version of
the Starlyte. This rifle uses a much larger battery
pack, which allows it to store more and slightly more
powerful charges. In all other aspects it is the
same. This weapon is to be issued exclusively to
off-world United States soldiers. Battery packs are
twice as thick and 3 times as long, but are only
150eb apiece. Autumn Blade has 20 of them for sale.
ARASAKA/USAF
"STARLYTE" 54,995eb
EX - +2 - L - VR
- 3D6 (laser) - 20 - 1
- VR
The worlds first true laser pistol. Developed
jointly between the Arasaka Corporation and the United
States Air Force, the Starlyte is the top secret
brainchild of years of research. The Starlyte
uses a high capacity battery clip, which slides like a
magazine into the back of the weapon, to fire a pinpoint
laser. The laser is limited to 1 second burns, and
the battery holds enough juice for 20 shots before it must
be replaced. This is set to become the standard
sidearm for USAF off-world officers. It is sold to
no one else. Autumn Blade has acquired 10 of
them, 7 are for sale. We also have a surplus of 20
battery clips, which run for 200 eb apiece, and can be
recharged from any standard electrical outlet. We
are simply amazed that this weapon is able to function so
well and look so damn good doing it.
ARASAKA
X-LR-62 LASER RIFLE 112,795eb
RIF - +3 - N - R
- 3/5/10D6 (Laser) -
Special/30sec/ - 1 - VR
A new man-portable laser rifle has emerged on the
battlefield. What makes this model different is its
limited power selector which only includes 3
settings. The first is light and it does 3d6 damage
and has can achieve up to one hundred shots with the
standard battery belt, or a virtually unlimited amount if
plugged into a wall socket or sufficient generator, this
is made possible by the electric recharging and amplifying
cylinder attached to the gun which acts much like a car's
alternator. On the second setting, medium, you get a
total of 30 seconds before the power is drained from the
weapon. The last setting is heavy, and it gives one
3 second burst of 10D6 damage and then the gun is
completely drained. However, due to the special
"alternator' built into the weapon, recharging from a wall
socket takes half the time as a normal laser although
until the weapon is fully charged again it cannot be used,
even on the light setting. Due to the rarity and
extreme cost of the weapon, supplies are very limited, (no
more than 5 to a customer) and orders must be paid in
advance.
DARRA-POLYTECHNIC
"ARC-LIGHT" 15,565eb
EX - -3 - N - R
- special (electricity) - 30
seconds - 1-3 seconds - ST
The internal mechanism of this weapon is basically a large
static generator. Once switched on it immediately
begins building up a charge (takes 30 seconds) which can
be released like a semi controlled lightning bolt.
The effect is dazzling. Unfortunately it is somewhat
hard to control the arc of electricity, and if the user
isn't properly insulated he can do major damage to
himself. This weapon is used for shorting out
vehicle and cyborg electric systems, and the arc of
electricity does 5D6 damage. Against flesh targets
half the damage done is treated as stun. This weapon
will even get through cheap shielding; NCPD C-SWAT just
ordered five of them.
MILITECH
LASER PISTOL 23,565eb
P - +3 - L - R
- 1-6D6 (Laser) - 12-6 -
1 - VR
This is a standard small laser weapon, it acts much like
any normal energy weapon (ie...variable power settings)
and must be attached to a battery belt (shown here with
weapon) to operate. Its only real advantage lies in
its size.
TECHTRONICA
HB-64CL 220,350eb
EX - +3 - N - R
- 12D10 (laser) - 1 minute - 3
seconds - ST
Unlike other combat lasers, this weapon has no alternate
setting, it is always on full power. The dual beam
does incredible damage. It's a good thing this
weapon is so expensive, and the power supply is so
limited.
TECHTRONICA M-444 VEHICLE MOUNTED EMP WEAPON 9785eb
HVY - +0 - N
- R - EMP Effect (SW) - 5 - 1 - ST
This targeted EMP pulse generator is a more powerful
version of the M40 (see Blackhands Street Weapons or
Chrome 2) (for damage increase each dice increment by
one). Our advice is to heavily shield any vehicle
this is mounted on, or at the very least turn the vehicle
off before firing. We also recommend powering
this weapon with its own independent battery supply.
1 car battery will provide energy for 5 shots.
