STRENGTHS

• Pulse Blaster weapon has an extreme amount of power. Imparting a Kinetic impact when striking a target. Much like a Charric Rifle.
• As a Plasma based weapon, after striking the target the plasma explodes into the target much like a directed charge. Thus the combination of the Kinetic Impact, and the superheated plasma can flash melt through armor and burn through the target. However, this prevents any possibility of piercing through and through to a potential secondary target.
• Heavier frame and construction, as well as an inertial Dampener, and Autosteady Gyro aid in reduction of recoil to allow easier consecutive shots.
• Additional Attachments such as hair trigger, laser sight unit, and possible scope attachment can be exchanged out for other components if need or desired.
• Reinforced Stygian Triprismatic Polymer is mostly used as a polymer coating to prevent small arms EMP/Ion weaponry from damaging any electronics on the weapon. As a side effect, it can pass through scanners rather easily.
• Taung War Oak grips are incredibly resilient to kinetic impacts. Even from vibro weapons naturally. Coveted for being a superior wood grain. However, when treated with resin it has the ability to be mildly energy resistant. Further increasing the durability of the pistol over all. Allowing one to not worry so much about banging up the firearm.

WEAKNESSES

• Taung War Oak must be taken care of when used as the grips. Marring of the wood, stronger energy weapons, and just long periods of use can wear away the resin and damage the grips.
• Even when the recoil has been reduced, there is still a large amount of recoil to handle for anyone not accustomed to firearms of this size. As such, there is a non-zero chance one could accidently smack themselves in the face should they try to one hand fire the weapon. Depending on various variables.
• Heavier frame and construction can lend itself to be used as an impromptu bashing tool. Namely Pistol Whipping, or "Hog Smacking." However, this can damage the weapon if done too often.
• While Stygian Triprismatic Polymer can hide the weapon from sensors, the size of the weapon is not conducive to "concealed carry." or attempting to hide it on one's person. Any form of Pat down can easily find the weapon.

DESCRIPTION
What can be more dangerous than a blaster? A big one. What about more dangerous than that? A big one that is heavy and can smack the ever-living-hell out of you. That was the premise behind this weapon. A hand cannon using technology of a plasma Pulse Cannon and shrinking it down as much as possible to that of a more modular firearm. Taking a heavy influence from a previous firearm created by Tarre Priest, the SM-10a, but a more modern version of the weapon, while also increasing the power output dramatically. Updating the various chambers, galven patterns, and even just changing from a pure charric to a Pulse Cannon for a more robust and durable firearm that can be worn on the hip.

A big iron on your hip? This is that for you. So, in order to use it, one had to use their strong hand. To really control the weapon and its recoil. As such, it was named. Strong Hand.
