Description:
Deathlock Drum is purely a blunt object, but in a ranged capacity. It has been built to fire rounds, regardless of type, at a high rate and with some actual accuracy. The firing chambers for the three different types are the biggest difference between the three. There are some other minor differences basic on the munitions fired. The rest of the gun has been highly tuned to fire and essentially shot its munitions as well as physically possible. The firing chambers, and the triggers have been highly modified and customized so that they fire with extreme precision and power, at the expense of range (regardless of munition used).

The munitions regardless of the type, hit hard and with plenty of power. If the bolt or slug doesn't destroy the target, it will definitely register as a hit. The Deathlock Drum is classified as a heavy weapon and can be mounted on a tripod and fired. The HUD for this weapon can synced with most available military grade armors that are on the market which allows for both low light and infrared enhancement for use in night combat or when sight is an issue.

The advanced cooling system that has been installed in this weapon allows for it to be fired for up to two hours without needing to cool off regardless of the munition. In addition to that the fire control and targeting software for this gun, syncs with most armor's AI and HUD seamlessly. The targeting software alone is cutting edge in precision. It has solid amount of AI algorithms which allows it to meet most military standards for such software and compensate up to even extreme situations and environments with at least a modest level of accuracy. This is of course without the usage of outside computers. It does have the access ports to sync with most military grade armors.

Two slug rounds from here can pierce most heavy armor chest pieces and damage it enough to do render most chest pieces useless. The same goes for the other rounds when it comes to hitting the armor straight on.

Guns utilizing plasma have been accepted in the past, and there are a few guns in canon that have used such ammunition, I just need to ask one question right off the bat; Is this plasma just a slightly more powerful blaster bolt, or is the intention to replicate a lightsaber-esque blade as ammunition?

What I meant was, that was what should be listed there. We operate on effective range, being the maximum range of effectiveness both for damage to be optimal and for accuracy and precision to still be viable. What you have listed for Optimal Range should be the Effective range, the maximum range a missile/bullet/etc will travel is not the range we are looking for.
