Special Features:
- Internal Dallorian Construction: High thermal resistance, minimizing cooldown and overheating. Allows for Automatic firing for Standard mode.
- Built-in Targeting Computer: Enhances sensor, compensating for dark, hazy, smoky or other visually impairing conditions and provides display data specific to the weapon's current operating mode, means of changing the mode electronically, and current targets within the vicinity. The sensors include infrared, StarVision low-light enhancement, and thermal.
- Advanced Computerized Fire Control: Enhances recoil compensation, while allowing for optimal performance of the weapon's systems to prevent overheating by providing perpetual cooldown of the entire system during operation and in addition, continually checking the functionality of all systems and automatically compensating for deficient systems. Finally, the advanced computerized fire control automatically adjusts the power levels to prevent power surges and overloading.
- Thermal Shield Generator: An advanced deflector shield generator provides a 270 degree arc of protection for the gunner and gunnery crew. Must be manned by the second gunnery crew member to ensure proper function, or manned by the gunner at a disadvantage.
- Built-in Comlink: Coupled with cutting edge automatic encryption codes, the comlink can be used to communicate with other units securely.
- Advanced Cryocooler : Composed of a double-chamber cooling system, the advanced cryocooler effectively removes excessive thermal energy resulting from operation. The primary chamber acts as a heat dissipation device, holding super-cooled non spin-sealed tibanna gas coolant fluid. The other chamber contained a small pump and de-coagulation filter which processed over heated coolant fluid and allowed the primary chamber to operate at maximum efficiency. Over heated coolant fluid was allowed to cool by discharging heat into a special high-temperature mesh on the outer most portion of the primary chamber for 180 seconds after one hour of operation.
Based on: Gk7 Cryocooler
[*]Collapsible Weapon System: The entire weapon system is collapsible, including a Autocushion Tripod and the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster. It can be set up automatically within five minutes, allowing for rapid deployment.
[*]Expanded Firing Chamber: Increases the damage of the heavy repeating blaster by allowing for the formation of longer particle beams beams.
[*]Specialized Harness: Reminiscent of the harness systems utilized in reciprocating quad blasters of the Clone Wars, the entire system can be handled by one gunner. The harness is outfitted with microrepulsor systems which allow the gunner to carry the entire system with minimal encumbrance, weighing the equivalent of 12.0 kg and allowing for complete operation of the system. The gunner must withdraw the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster from his or her back in order to utilize, and the harness disallows the gunner to wear a backpack.
[*]Autocushion Tripod: The autocushion tripod system greatly reduces the recoil of the weapon system, and is equipped with small repulsorlift engines, allowing the entire system to be moved quickly and deployed instantaneously. Obviously, during movement, the accuracy of the systems is extremely limited.

Created and manufactured solely by Izanami Ironworks, the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster is a specialized anti-personnel and anti-armor weapon for the Inari Shoguante. Personally designed by Kitsune, it is limited in its production and availability, having the function of a weapon emplacement more than an actual personal weapon. Although production is minor, availability is only one to a maximum six to an entire company of 360 soldiers. However, more specialized and elite groups are assigned these massive, expensive and perfections of machines of war. This weapon is entirely barred from public purchase and only a very limited number of these armaments have been obtained by outsiders, often after paying exorbitant prices or outright stealing them from the Inari Shogunate.
The systems of the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster are complex and numerous, with almost all the possible innovations that were found in the F-Web Repeating Blaster, E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster, E-Web(15) Heavy Blaster, EWHB-12 Heavy Repeating Blaster, M-Web Repeating Blaster, and Reciprocating Quad Blaster combined and perfected into the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster. The shield generator systems and collapsible structure of the F-Web Repeating Blaster. The improved fire control and targeting computers of the E-Web(15) Heavy Blaster, as well as its autoconfiguring mode and advanced cryocooler system. The mobility of the M-Web Repeating Blaster, with the installation of repulsorlift generators in the tripod. The specialized harness system that is compatible with the weapon system, allowing for a single user to utilize the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster. And finally, the fundamental framework and parts were derived from the outdated EWHB-12 Heavy Repeating Blaster and the E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster: the disadvantages and deficiencies of both these systems were analyzed and eliminated.[/background]
Blaster technology depends on not only the energizing of electromagnetic radiation, but also the compression and focusing of it into a high-energy particle-beam. There are currently two designs in which this process of compression and focusing is accomplished: the plasma-based design and the particle beam-based design. The Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster relies on the latter, which allows for a more efficient and accurate blaster rifle. However, unlike other blasters rifles relying on the particle beam-based design, the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster is in fact much more inefficient, due to the fact that a greater amount of energy is utilized to further energize the blaster 'bolt' during the excitement of the tibanna-gas.
Initially, a small amount of compressed tibanna gas is moved from the Heter valve and into the XCiter chamber, which energizes the gas further with the power pack. Then, the actuating blaster module, assisted by components in the hadrium blaster barrel, processes the extremely high-energy gas into a compressed beam of intense energy particles, coupled together with intense electromagnetic radiation, to generate an energized particle beam. The electromagnetic radiation provides the structure to the tibanna gas, allowing it to retain its shape after being propelled outside of the blaster.
However, the Akurojinnohi-class Heavy Repeating Blaster possessed a much longer firing chamber than traditional blasters: instead of other firing chambers which have a larger chamber, allowing for wider and broader energy beams, a longer firing chambers allows for a longer blaster beam. The intent of this is to create a greater piercing capacity of the Kiyohime-class Blaster Rifle as well as increase its damage output. However, in order to accommodate this increase in damage and piercing capacity as well as retain a fast rate of fire, a significantly greater amount of energy is required.
