Description:

As a Jedi Sentinel, Arisa had always favored Form VI for its versatility. As she had mastered the eclectic style over the years, she developed her own special derivate which included the use of one or two pistols at point blank range in close quarter battle. Her style was excellent for throwing off opponents who had only prepared for saber wielding Jedi.

The problem that she found with military issue pistols was the excessive weight and discomfort of the bulky designs. They simply weren't built for the way she manipulated them in combat. She tried out lighter and more ergonomic pistols from companies like WESTAR, but she found them lacking in the stopping power necessary to take down foes with increasingly improving defenses.

She eventually went on to create her own set of pistols, using her extensive knowledge of lightsaber construction to create a lightweight solid state beam generation solution that didn't require the use of gas canisters and related systems. Now all that was required was a power source for beam generation with focusing crystals. Compact pyronium-based ultracapacitors allowed for greater capacity and power. Repulsor coils were added to aid in easy handling and recoil dampening. The end result was a set of light dueling pistols with the damage output akin to heavy blaster pistols.

The repulsor components were not only added for improved performance but also to be used in an alternate fire mode where narrow beams of antigravity are projected. The antigravity beams can bypass energy shields and knock against armor to deliver deadly concussive force like a hammer or mace, breaking bones and rupturing internal organs. The repulsive effects of the antigravity beams are also good for stunning opponents and stopping them in their tracks.

[member="Arisa Yune"], most of this looks pretty straightforward, and it's nicely detailed to boot.

an alternate fire mode where narrow beams of antigravity are projected. The antigravity beams can bypass energy shields and deliver deadly concussive force against armored opponents, breaking bones and rupturing internal organs. The repulsive effects of the antigravity beams are also good for stunning opponents and stopping them in their tracks.

I'm a bit hesitant to sign off on a weapon that bypasses both shields and physical armor without some development behind it. I do notice that this mode has a much shorter effective range than normal gun weapons, which I think certainly helps with the balancing, but I think that this needs at least a 10-20 post development thread.

In terms of canon precedence, this appears to be most similar in concept to me as a tensor rifle. I'd recommend using a similar damage mechanic with this mode, where the more shots that hit the target, the sequentially more damage this does as more and more body systems are adversely affected.

[member="Gir Quee"] It doesn't bypass armor, the beams just knock against it like a hammer or a mace to deal concussive damage like those weapons. Now if they're wearing something light like some mesh, or no armor at all, then it would probably pass through the flesh for direct contact.

[member="Arisa Yune"], cool. If you would clarify that point in the description, this will be ready for approval.

[member="Gir Quee"] Edited. Does this look alright?

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Spencer Varanin"]

In the techolongy template, there is this rule regarding submissions using base materials with restricted materials.

1. Submissions which make use of base material submissions that utilize restricted materials will always require substantial development involving that restricted material. (i.e; Phrik Armorweave submissions will require development for utilization in future armor submissions)


This will need development for the use of isotope 5.

For such a submission a ten to 15 post development thread would be fine.

I replaced the Isotope 5 power cells with pyronium ultracapacitors for the same effect. The required acquisition thread as been linked in the development section.
