SPECIAL FEATURES
Mf2QfzH.gif
Cone of Death: The weapon fires a cone of destructive energy, capable of turning close range targets to burning corpses, igniting those partially caught by the blast, and unleashing a potent kinetic shock enough to knock objects and beings backwards, and turning close range targets to puffs of smoke. Marketers claim the weapon can disintegrate numerous targets in a single blast, but notes it may take multiple charges to finish of very heavy armored opposition. The energy dissipates quickly, reducing in strength and power rapidly as the range increases until it dissipates completely at about ten meters, but is plenty lethal. The weapon takes a moment to wind up before it can be primed, during which the weapon makes an audible and distinctive whine.

Strengths:
  • Unlimited Power!: It’s a disruptor shotgun, what’s not to love. The whole weapon is a spacer’s dream for clearing the cramped corridors they might encounter.
Weaknesses:
  • Wind Up: The weapon takes a second or so to charge up, making a distinctive whine as the weapon prepares to fire.
  • Complicated Reload: The Eradicator features a large gas canister, which takes a moment to disconnect and replace. Even an experienced operator will still take longer than a few seconds to reload the canister.
  • Limited Range: With great power, comes embarrassingly short range. Excellent for clearing hallways, terrible for wide open spaces.
  • Power Reduction: As the charge leaves the barrel it begins dissipating and losing power, decreasing in strength until it completely dissolves.
DESCRIPTION
Produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc and officially marketed as a Scatter Blaster, the Eradicator is the next step for the freighter captain or bounty hunter in need of dealing with large groups of hostile beings. Technically named the Outland Matter Eradicator, the scatter blaster is marketed towards freelancers, primarily pirates and mercenaries for its ideal use in cramped conditions found in buildings and on ships.

Ergonomics were unfortunately glossed over in its creation, preferring the raw firepower and damage potential. Heavy dallorian alloys make up the majority of the weapon’s structure with a turadium muzzle to absorb the intense heat released by each blast fired make the Eradicator weigh upwards of twelve kilograms despite a relatively short size. The lack of a proper stock makes it difficult to brace when firing, but make it short enough to use effectively in the tight conditions it was designed for.

The weapon is enhanced with agrocite crystals, required for the dangerous disruptor style weapon. Agrocite was selected over the more popular Kyber as the refining process to make the weapon meet safety standards with kyber crystals was too expensive and too difficult to manufacture. A Capacitor Overcharger system and oversized power capacitor help channel the energy from the power cell into the weapon at the required output. The externally mounted Gas Canister containing highly energized Sig gas is specialized for this weapon, and thus they must be reused, custom made, or bought from Merr-Sonn directly. It actually consists of ten individual pressurized canisters which are cycled through when the action is pumped, diverting into the hoses that connect to the bottom of the canister as they are rotated into place within the chamber.

As far as potential, the weapon can theoretically disintegrate multiple beings at once, destroying beings caught in its blast at close range. Partially hit targets, and beings further away are often lit aflame and struck with the kinetic blast that emits from the weapon as the disruptor energy collides with the atmosphere, producing the uncharacteristic recoil for a blaster that the weapon possesses. Further targets can be burned, injured, or have layers of clothing and skin torched until the blast dissipates. The weapon has been marketed as the deadliest small arms weapon on the market, whether that is true or not is yet to be officially determined.
