PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Class-D Heavy Disruptor Pistol
  • Size: Average
  • Weight: Average
  • Ammunition Type: Gas cartridge-power cell combined unit.
  • Ammunition Capacity: Extremely Small. 10-round gas cartridge-power cell combined unit.
  • Effective Range: Long Range
  • Rate of Fire: Average
  • Stopping Power: Extreme
  • Recoil: Average
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Integrated Targeting Computer with HUD Linking Capability: The weapon features an onboard targeting computer which has the ability to interface with HUD systems and provide provide compensation for various atmospheric conditions, and uses the HUD's binocular mode (if it has one, and is limited based on the weapon's own range when used in this mode) as a magnified optic. Heavy amounts of jamming doesn't affect this feature given proximity between the weapon and the user.
STRENGTHS
  • Class-D Disruptor: Class-D disruptors can cause the atomic deletion of their target, potentially breaking down the chemical bonds. Each shot is capable of doing immense amounts of damage on target, and has little regard for armor.
  • Long Range: The DP-02 has considerable practical range for a handgun.
  • High Velocity: Each bolt/pulse can travel the distance between shooter and target at a remarkable speed, fast enough even to give a skilled force user pause or to make the most ardent Verpine Shatter Pistol fan look on impressed or in envy.
  • Resilient Frame: The pistol's armored frame allows it to take quite a beating. With a combat de-ionizer and reinforced duraplast reinforcements, the rifle is resistant to EMP/Ion damage to an extent.
WEAKNESSES
  • Illegal: Disruptors are illegal on many worlds, but Class-D disruptors take that to a whole new level. It is unlikely that a Class-D disruptor would be viewed as a sign of someone not looking to start trouble even in space where it is legal. Which could lead to more than a few problems.
  • Immoral: The weapon is extremely immoral, given what it does to a target. Using this weapon will likely garner the wrong sort of attention. Perhaps even sign one's own death warrant.
  • Low Ammunition Capacity: Ten shots isn't a lot of ammunition to work with, and in a pitched firefight against overwhelming numbers twenty rounds will go quickly.
  • Overheating: Because of the small ammunition capacity, usually overheating is not a concern, but several gas cartridge-power cell combined units later and overheating will become an issue, to the point where the weapon's safety mechanisms will kick in and lock down the weapon to prevent permanent damage. Naturally, this is also dependant on atmospheric conditions.
  • EMP/Ion: When faced with a powerful enough EMP/Ion surge, it is possible that the weapon's defenses against aforementioned damage will be overwhelmed and the weapon's more sensitive components will be fried.
DESCRIPTION
The decision to start on Class-D disruptor manufacturing came shortly after the news of the Mandalorian civil war. Concerned that the conflict was going to spill into their system, the clans of Breshig came with a demand for Breshig War Forge Consolidated, and that was a demand for weapons that would tilt the odds in their favor if it came to that, and almost everyone was fairly sure that it would. Knowing that there was little choice, Breshig War Forge Consolidated began production on a series of Class-D disruptor rifles and pistols. The DP-02 is the company's first Class-D disruptor pistol, but given its popularity, it would appear that they'd needed only a single attempt for their foray into Class-D disruptor pistol manufacturing.

Designed to be a powerful handgun in an average sized package, the DP-02 has a long practical range and discharges its bolts at a high velocity, making it an excellent backup weapon for those carrying specialist weapons as a primary. That said, it's low ammunition capacity does tend to be problematic in this regard. Going through several gas cartridge-power cell combined units in quick succession is likely to cause the weapon's overheating issues crop up, focing the weapon's safety mechanism to kick in and shut the weapon down, lest it suffer any permanent damage. Though protected against EMP/Ion weapons, inclement atmospheric conditions and particularly powerful weapons of that nature can cause problems for the weapon.

There is the question of the weapon's legality and the morality or lack thereof behind the use of such a weapon, but it was a desperate weapon created for a desperate time that continues to see use and production because of the fact that times are now no less desperate.
