[SIZE=9.5pt]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=9.5pt] Create an underwater weapon to assist in deep sea big game hunting and offer a unique technological flavor
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Arcadian Artisans
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Arcadia; Black Sun
Modularity: N/A
Production: Common, produced simply as needed
Material: Common materials[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]Classification:[/SIZE] [SIZE=9.5pt]Underwater Heat-based Ranged Weapon
Size: Handheld, two-hands
Length: 1m
Weight: 27kg
Ammunition Type: Superheated Water Bubbles[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]Ammunition Capacity:[/SIZE] [SIZE=9.5pt]Unlimited
Effective Range: 25m[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]Rate of Fire:[/SIZE] [SIZE=9.5pt]Single-action[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]Special Features:[/SIZE][SIZE=9.5pt] Though it is incredibly heavy, this is mitigated by its purely underwater use.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]Description:[/SIZE][SIZE=9.5pt] Taking a cue from the clawdaddy with which they shared the open floor, the Kahjeen co-opted the crustaceon’s evolutionary self-defense mechanism to make themselves better deep sea hunters. Rigging the snapper claw with a trigger mechanism, Kahjeen engineers have managed to replicate the muscle contractions that the clawdaddy animal possessed in the life, enabling the Clawdaddy “rifle” to be able to generate a similar effect, only not quite as far, not nearly as loud, and not quite as hot, but still, y’know, it works.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]For convenience, this is how the clawdaddy’s snapper claw worked:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]The clawdaddy sports a snapper claw which is not made up of two symmetrical halves as a pincher would. Instead, it features an immobile portion which has a socket. The other half is mobile, and is a plunger that fits into the aforementioned socket. It opens the plunger, building tension, until a closer muscle contracts it, setting off the whole bit with incredible force. This displaces water that jets out at 105 feet a second, the high velocity causing the pressure to drop below the vapor pressure of water. Tiny bubbles swell in this low pressure, then collapse when the pressure climbs again, creating a snap sound. More importantly, the bubbles’ collapsing generates, for a split second, temperatures of 8000 degrees Fahrenheit and a flash of light, causing prey to be killed instantly.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9.5pt]For the purposes of this weapon, it will simply stun. This weapon can only work underwater. Due to its being so heavy, it must be specially deployed and is never carried on Kahjeen Assassin units “just in case.”[/SIZE]
