ANDAN SOLO'S SC-01c HEAVY MASER PISTOL
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a custom heavy maser pistol for Andan Solo.
- Image Source: Link
- Canon Link: Maser
- Primary Source: Heavy Blaster Pistol, Blaster Rifle
- Manufacturer: Malaxan Firepower Incorporated
- Affiliation: Andan Solo
- Model: SC-01c Maser Blaster
- Modularity: Yes; rifle configuration available (attachable scope, stock and extended barrel)
- Production: Unique
- Material: Nutorium-plated Durasteel, ostrine barrel and chamber, maser-particle firing components
- Classification: Heavy Maser Pistol
- Size: Small (Large in rifle configuration)
- Weight: Very Light (Average in rifle configuration)
- Ammunition Type: Power Pack
- Ammunition Capacity: 40 (power pack)
- Reload Speed: Slow (Very Slow in rifle configuration)
- Effective Range: Personal (Average in rifle configuration)
- Rate of Fire: Low
- Stopping Power: Very High
- Recoil: High (Average in rifle configuration)
- Charric blaster bolts utilizing maser-tech.
- Very accurate.
- Electric shock to metallic armors.
- Unable to be reflected by lightsabers.
- Attachments available for rifle-conversion.
- Maser bolts offer both thermal and kinetic damage, and carry enormous impact per bolt - especially against lightsabers or deflecting weapons.
- Very accurate weapon, due to the improved firing systems of maser weaponry compared to standard blasters.
- Metallic armors receive an electric shock with each hit, capable of disrupting the wearer briefly if not protected against such damage.
- Maser bolts are unable to be reflected by lightsabers, resulting in increased difficulty defending when under fire from this type of weapon.
- Rifle configuration available via attachments, with maser pistol being powerful enough to function in the mode.
- Sensor-blocking plating to help conceal weapon through checkpoints.
- Effective range limited due to compact design, when not in rifle configuration.
- Lessened ammunition capacity compared to standard blaster pistols, due to higher powered bolts.
- Insulated metallic armors will not be affected by electric shock per bolt, making that bolt attribute redundant.
- Recoil is higher than standard blaster pistols, due to kinetic discharge per bolt, especially when in rifle configuration.
- Longer reload times due to smaller capacity powerpack and more frequent replacement, especially in rifle configuration.
- Rifle configuration attachments aren't small, requiring storage and carrying to be available for use.
- Rifle configuration is not as effective as standard blaster rifles, due to not being made for the purpose.
- Sensor-blocking plating not infallible to detection from high-end scanners.
A completely custom heavy maser pistol, which was created by commission of Andan Solo by Malaxan Firepower Incorporated. The weapon utilizes maser tech, which offers increased thermal and kinetic damage, as well as electrical shock to non-insinuated metallic armors, and are unable to be reflected by lightsabers. Additionally, the enormous impact per bolt allows for opponents defending with deflection capable weapons to be physically worn down with repeated attack, with some Jedi and Sith even outright losing their grasp on lightsabers. Due to the kinetic power of each shot, there is a far larger recoil when compared to standard blasters, while also requiring more power with each shot, resulting in smaller power packs and more reloading.
Due to the improved nature of the bolts, the weapons accuracy is very high. Because of the higher particle and kinetic energy of each bolt, the effective range has been improved, if not extended. For reloading, the front of the maser pistol cocks forward, causing power packs to eject, and can simply be replaced as per standard blaster methods. This weapon is typically only effective within a personal range, however the carbine configuration attachments allow for longer range due to stablizing and scoped methods; yet, due to the larger size in this setup, the recoil and reloading are higher and longer, respectively. The barrel of the weapon is of fine craftsmanship, allowing sustained fire without overheating or melting the barrel, with the ostrine alloy assisting heavily with cooling requirements.
Additionally, nutorium plating has been applied to the weapon, which allows for significantly improved sensor-blocking when passing through weapon detectors. This can allow Andan to conceal his blaster, affording him the opportunity to stay armed when otherwise forced to disarm. Yet, the plating isn't infallible, and high-end/military grade scanners may still detect the weapon.
