SPECIAL FEATURES
- Particle Beam lasers grant this blaster more intense and volatile beams which splash on impact. While not special on principal, it is noteworthy.
- This weapon may be mounted to a tripod, affixed to the hull or a compartment of a starship, used as an auto-turret connected to a power grid, or carried - though wielding this weapon is not recommended due to its weight.
The APRG-P900 or "Anti-Personnel Repeating Gun - Particle #900" is another weapon in Corellian Arms' arsenal utilising the versatile particle beam laser technology. This weapon is designed to deal great amounts of damage over a short period of time; typically to a large group of targets. Its high power output and high rate of fire make it an excellent choice for an offensive emplacement on battlegrounds where a lethal sweep of an area is necessary. Unfortunately, its high rate of fire also causes it to drain power cells very quickly. Replacing these power cells is a time-costly activity. Because of this, long-term warfare using this weapon is considered ill-advised; however, attachment to power grids and starships is possible. These options significantly increase the endurance of this weapon through theoretically infinite ammunition. This obviously, however, limits portability by being mounted permanently to one location. A moderate balance to both worlds, however heavier and more resource-costly for soldiers, is to move the "Field Day" to a location, set it up with a tripod, then connect it to a power generator. This greatly increases this weapon's endurance on a field at the cost of being able to quickly change position. Overall the APRT-P900 is a very heavy, nearly-devastating repeating blaster cannon with a sensible handful of configurations that allow it to hold its presence up with the once-popular E-Web Blaster Cannons.
