PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: HLCS & HSCS
• Model: FAW-5
• Affiliation: Harley Fenstermacher
• Modularity: Can be fitted onto star fighter, ship and ground mounted turrets
• Production: Mass Produced Open-Market
• Material:
  Dallorianalloy barrel
• Plastiod

[*]TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
[*]Classification: Mid/Long range turbo laser
[*]Size: Large
[*]Weight: Heavy
[*]Ammunition Type: Power Cell and Gas Canisters
[*]Ammunition Capacity: 1000 (though basically unlimited if well supplied)
[*]Reload Speed: None
[*]Effective Range: Long
[*]Rate of Fire: Low
[*]Stopping Power: High
[*]Recoil: Low
SPECIAL FEATURES

• Can be fitted with a small targeting computer and software
• Extended gas chamber to fit more Tibana gas and thus increase shot count (mainly turrets)

Strengths:

• Long Range: Has good ranging while keeping a majority of it's energy upon striking a target.
• Penetration: Decent stopping power and penetration, if you in a lightly armor ship better stay clear of this.

Weaknesses:

• Rate of Fire: Has a lower rate of fire then laser cannon and point defense systems making it not ideal to take on smaller craft.

DESCRIPTION
Once again with the possibly war time factors making the access of laser weapons companies unavailable Harley and CO, Logistics Incorporated decided to go about making their own standard turbo laser. In a sense this model is a upgraded and larger version of the FAW-2 laser cannon, more suitable for ship to ship combat, but with a lower rate of fire. Such comes with the selection of a targeting computer if needed, or just room for those that wish to install on of their own and use the blaster as is on a turret mount, on ship or vehicles.

Modularity: Can be fitted onto star fighter, ship and ground mounted turrets

Just a heads up, but most traditional "starfighters" probably won't be approved with a full-fledged turbolaser as part of the armament, unless its something like a unique fighter or a tramp freighter. You don't have to change this though.

Classification: Mid/Long range laser cannon

Is this a turbolaser or a laser cannon?

Long Range: Has good ranging while keeping a majority of it's kinetic power

Energy weapons typically don't have much, if any kinetic power, especially at this scale. The one exception may be something like a Chiss maser.

Changed the cannon part

also no they do contain kinetic energy, laser weaponry ins star wars works by the ionization and compression of Tibana gas and accelerated through a rail system, in a sense more plasma. As such it does have Kinetic impact, one of the reasoning why a blaster bolt causes those stuck by it to fall backwards, but I changed it regardless.

We'll have to disagree on that. But really, it's not too important to getting your submission approved.
