SPECIAL FEATURES

Pistol enchanted with Blood Magic to be virtually silent

Can be switched from semi-auto to full Auto Fire

Can be converted from pistol to pistol carbine by attaching durasteel stock and swapping out the barrel. A scope can even be attached. It can also accept Cryo, Incendiary, Acid, Armor Piercing, and Electric Rounds

Hard to damage

Easy to maintain

STRENGTHS

Range: The Pistol's range is enchanted to be as long as that of a DMR, this means that, whether scoped or not, Carbine or not, the Pistol has far longer reach then one might expect

Moddable: It can accept armor piercing, incendiary, cryonic, electric, and acid rounds, can be converted to a scoped carbine in under a minute, as well as switch from Semi to three shot burst

Stealthy: It is enchanted so that, save for the trigger pull, no sound is heard while firing.

Apocalypse-Proof: Its sturdy frame and construction make it simple and easy to repair, as well as enabling it to fire after total immersion in water sand, mud, dirt, or snow.

WEAKNESSES

Accuracy: Despite its range, its accuracy starts to suffer after it leaves the range of an average blaster rifle. Just because it can hit you at DMR ranges does not mean it will.

Ammo Burn: Burns through ammo very quickly at burst fire mode

Ammo Scarcity: In addition to having less shots than an average blaster pistol, slugthrower ammo is hard to come by in the field, leading to necessitating the carrying of spare ammo, which may not always be desirable.

Force Voids: Enchantments will not function in Force Voids

Recoil: Keep a tight grip as the muzzle jumps, though experienced shooters can take advantage of this.

DESCRIPTION

The Cultist Box Carbine was a weapon preferred by agents of The Cult of The Brain Demon during the zenith of their influence during the Gulag Plague. A modification of a pistol known as the Kun'Lun Box Cannon, an Atrisian-developed slugthrower pistol exported in vast quantities due to its cheap but long lasting parts that are easily maintained to various worlds desperate for cheap defensive weaponry due to the collapse of military and civilian infrastructure. The first leader of The Cult, Darth Phyre, is said to have taken a liking to the weapon during what she called "A positively adorable attempt to murder me." and discretely acquired multiple examples for custom modification with blood magic. Distributed mostly to the Cult's elite enforcers, The Amalgam used this particular model for years before gifting Darth Vindel with it as both a back up and a way to teach him to kill beyond the Force or Lightsaber.

Okay, so overall a neat submission. At the moment though, I'm seeing that it's overpowered by three (3) ratings. I might suggest increasing the weapons Recoil rating to Very High, which would also match up with the weapon weakness:

Recoil: Keep a tight grip as the muzzle jumps, though experienced shooters can take advantage of this.

If you did that and then perhaps decreased the Range rating to Average then everything would balance up nicely. You're not under any obligation to take my specific recommendations, but the weapon will need to have three (3) ratings reduced in order to be balanced. Please let me know what you decide to do/make the necessary edits and tag me here when you're done. Also, if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to let me know here or via PM. Thanks!
