Description: This was Cross' favorite weapon during his service in the Hapan Navy. He built it to have different power settings, from armor piercing shots that take up lots of power, to less powerful shots that can be fired for a while without draining the power cell. In lieu of a rifle, Cross modified the gun to have a way longer maximum range than a normal pistol. The trigger needs to be pulled or every shot, but it doesn't overheat with continuous fire or anything. It was pretty much the only ranged weapon Cross ever used, and he kept it quite safe during his 800-year stasis.

Technically, single action means you are required to recock the firing mechanism for every shot. The rate if fire you described is semiautomatic.

Also, the effective range for pistol weapons is generally around 25-50m as pinpoint long distance accuracy for one handed/pistol weapons is fairly low beyond that distance barring unusual exceptions. The optimum range is usually far longer.

Also, what armor would this be effectove against with the stated power settings?

Edited. Is 50-75 a tenable range for a 'long range' pistol?

Yeah. That's fine. Still need to toss in what armor this is effective against for the power settings though lol
