Approved Tech Chai La Spin barrel

Status
Not open for further replies.
Image Source: N/A
Intent: To start Chai La's series of universal weapon components to augment their weapons
Development Thread: If Needed
Manufacturer: Chai La Armory
Model: Universal Barrel
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: Universal Weapon Component
Production: Mass-Produced. (Anyone.)

Material:
  • Desh-Terethium
  • Hybrid Plexisteel
  • Magnetic Coils

Strengths:
  • Quiet
  • Increased Durability
  • Armor Penetration
Weaknesses:
  • Restricted to Snipers
  • Restricted to Long Rifles
  • Restricted to Slugthrowers
  • Reduced Range
  • Increased Power Usage (variable to gun)

Description: Designed for sniper rifles and long blaster rifles from Chai La that use slugs still. The traditional augmented spin barrels that were designed to increase the range, kinetic output and armor penetration have been kept for Chai La. Allowing the long barrels to be augmented now with magnetic coils akin to a shatter rifle which is quiet, accelerates their slugs at far superior speeds and can have more mag-pellets generally per clip. Certain changes have been done to it allowing the maintenance and downtime to be reduced but not by much. As it is using coils that accelerate the shots which are now pellets it is more uniform requiring routine upkeep but it does not boast the maximum damage output of older models. Instead it is made from stronger and lighter materials that let snipers and marksmen using the barrels to be able to carry extra parts to replace and cannibalize to maintain functionality if in the field for long periods of time. The other changes are its range is slightly reduced for a magnetic accelerator gun allowing it to fit and use the universal components that Chai La have been developing.

Is this a slugthrower component? Or a blaster component?

Both weapons work on fairly different principles.

The augmented spin barrel model referenced here works by "using updated and streamlined [urlstarwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galven_pattern]galven pattern[/url] and heavy duty static pulse adaptors". As far as I've able to find so far, these seem to be pretty distinctive from the principles used in electromagnetic accelerators.


How does this barrel making the firing process quiet?
 
[member="Tysk Willamina"], looks pretty good. Bear in mind that the level of "quietness" of this barrel will likely be dependent on the specific weapon this is applied too.

EDIT: Also, I'd mention something about increased power usage for weapons that this applied to under your weakness section.

Spin barrel states this: The barrel increased damage output and armor penetration of any weapon it was attached to but also increased maintenance requirements and downtime due to increased wear and tear on the barrel and frame.


Wouldn't this barrel also be subject to increased maintenance requirements due to the increased armor penetration regardless of the magnetic coils. Especially with the increased used of mag pellets?

I believe I addressed it right here, the coils save some downtime and the materials are lighterweight allowing you to carry extra so you can get one barrel worked on while still using the rifle. As shatter rifles boast and offer higher penetration as well with no damage to the barrels as mag pellets are made with shatter rifles in mind. The loss of damage and range to add more durability was also an important thing for a trade off.

I'm confused. If you lost damage and range for more durability, why isn't that in your weaknesses?

And then why do you have Long range as your strength?
