SPECIAL FEATURES
- Standard charric weapon, it fires a blue-colored beam of maser-guided charged particles which deliver both kinetic and thermal energy to their target.
- Like most charric weapons, they render most commonly-found ceramic and polymer-based armors ineffective, are unable to be reflected by lightsaber blades, and use enough a hitting power to effectively wear down a lightsaber-wielding opponent, knocking the weapon from their grasp.
- Unusually high ammunition capacity, rare for most charric weapons, gives users an edge.
- Adaptable micro-LED light illuminates up to 30m range.
- Powerful weapons, able to offer serious stopping power, accuracy, and effectiveness at close-range.
- High-capacity ammunition, light weight, and small size combine to make it the perfect choice for CIS Agents needing a reliable and potent sidearm.
- Tough weapons can hold up to a lot of abuse, even able to fire when submerged.
- Poor accuracy and effectiveness beyond average range, making it a good choice as a primary sidearm for CIS agents who work close-in, but a poor choice for battlefield soldiers.
- Heavy recoil is often too much for smaller or weaker beings to control and operate these weapons effectively, even at close ranges.
- Specialized power cells make reloading without these same type available impossible.
- Firing while submerged cuts the effective range and accuracy by half.
Sleek but resilient sidearms are lightweight, accurate, and hold a high magazine capacity, generally uncommon for most Chiss-derived charric weapons of this type, offering a well-rounded sidearm for CIS intelligence and security services personnel to use. Meant to be remarkably tough, they are conditioned against extreme temperatures, moisture, and stand tough under heavy use, abuse, and other adverse conditions. Accurate and highly effective up to average range, they have the added benefit of an under-mounted LED flashlight, offering excellent illumination of the field of fire zone ahead.
