SPECIAL FEATURES:
- When You Absolutely, Positively Need Someone Dead: Like the really real kind of dead too, not the kind you can back from with a little help from a nice Dathomirian Witch or anything, but the really dead kind. This is a disruptor sniper rifle. It has an ungodly range, deadly accuracy, and the effects are nothing short of creating your very own horror movie, right there on the spot. Even a ‘flesh wound’ from this rifle is liable to cause serious and potentially life-threatening injuries, much less than straight up, dead on, bolt-to-the-brainpan. Land that shot, and all that remains is a memory, one last blood-curdling pre-empted scream, and really hot dust!
- Takes a Lot More Than You Have: The Fulgar is one tough rifle. Designed from highly durable materials, and able to fire even underwater or in space, the Fulgar is immune to most environmental conditions you’re ever going to encounter.
- Did You See That?: The Fulgar comes complete with a Multi-Optic Computerized Interface Pinpoint Scope with Electrobinocular capabilities, enabling for tremendous precision accuracy, regardless of distance, time of day, environmental conditions, etc.
- Adjustable: Retractable, adjustable butt-stock with recoil pad, rear stabilizer bar, foregrip-mounted bipod, and ergonomic design allows for natural ‘feel’ and control over the weapon, giving users increased comfort, accuracy, and movement. Ideal for snipers who will live, sleep, eat, breath, and sit with this weapon, sometimes for hours – even days, just to get that ‘perfect shot’ at a target.
STRENGTHS:
- What Shields?: Disruptor rifles have the nasty ability to bypass most personal energy shields, meaning that rounds from this weapon are almost certain to find their target, regardless of precautions such as shields.
- Run and You Will Only Die Tired: This weapon platform’s extremely precision accuracy and devastating (and genuinely horrific) effects are matched only by its battlefield range, able to ‘reach out and touch’ one’s target from distances unmatched by most other weapons. This enables the shooter to remain hidden, far outside of detection range by most any conventional means, to execute their lethal missions with relative impunity.
- See No Evil, Hear No Evil: The weapon’s design and construction makes it nearly silent, requiring the most extreme sort of audio enhancement to even hear its faint ‘crack’, and the use of TibannaX leaves no discernable visual cues of incoming fire.
- Swift, Silent, and Deadly: Like all disruptor weapons, this one disintegrates matter at the molecular level, tearing through most materials with savage ease and speed, ripping them apart in an excruciating manner. Even a glancing strike will cause grievous injuries, and in most cases, the one shot, one kill nature of this weapon leaves nothing behind but a smoldering pile of ash and the horror that preceded it.
WEAKNESSES:
- Wait Just a Second There, Pal: The weapon needs several seconds to cool down again after being fired, greatly lowering its rate of fire to roughly 30-rounds per minute. While still a marked improvement over earlier versions of disruptor rifles such as these, it would still be slow. Any attempt to push the weapon to fire sooner risks serious malfunction and places the user in jeopardy of a catastrophic overload.
- You Better Not Miss: The rifle’s tiny magazine holds just ten rounds before requiring replacement of the gas canister, meaning that it truly is a sniper’s rifle, not a substitute for the high-capacity battle rifle. Marksmanship is a must for those using this weapon, because with so few rounds, there’s no margin for error or room for waste.
- Steady….Steady: The weapon has a hefty ‘kick’ and its precision accuracy requires a careful, well-grounded shooting position, be that held or stabilized (as in the prone shooting position), meaning that making those crackshots ‘on the fly’ or ‘from the hip’ is pretty much, unequivocally, right out.
- Use This Gun, Go to Jail: Disruptor weapons are highly illegal on just about all civilized worlds, and with plenty of good reason too. A stealth disruptor rifle turns that dial to “11” pretty darned quick, fast, and in a hurry. Just having this thing is enough to earn a long stay in a small dark room with a Gamorrean named “Bubba”, and firing it….at someone…welp, now you have crossed over into the magical land of war crimes and crimes against sentients, kids. So, don’t just go waving this little toy about all careless-like, and make darned sure that you want to take that shot. Because once you do, you have crossed the line, and there’s no taking it back!
DESCRIPTION
Some weapons just should have never been conceived. Weapons so terrible, so awful, so beyond the scope of decency and simple morality that the very thought of them is repugnant to people everywhere. The Fulgar is one of those. A stealth’d-out, hyper-ranged disruptor sniper rifle is one of those concepts that should really bother you, deep down, in the core. So, of course, Vis just had to have one!
Built tough from the ground up, the Fulgar is designed to take the harshest conditions and environments and work like a charm, the first time, every time. Its sturdy construction boasts vibration-dampening condensed-matter composite tightly-wrapped in stealth enhancing polymer sheathing, surrounding ultra-high durability materials. A micronized heat sink hastens the cooling off period needed between rounds, reducing it from a full five seconds to just roughly two or three with each shot. Still not ideal, but it is a tremendous improvement over previous designs of these types of weapons. Ergonomic handling and recoil mitigating stock make for a more stable firing platform, aided by the benefit of the weapon’s included rear stabilizer bar and foregrip-mounted bipod, to better ensure that perfect shot. A computer-interfaced multi-optic targeting scope offers enhanced visual modes, penetrating through darkness, smoke, fog, and more to offer an enhanced, magnified view of the target at any time night or day, and even under the harshest conditions.
The Fulgar isn’t just a long-range weapon either, it’s an obscenely long-range weapon. The kind that reaches across the chaos and madness of the battlefield, allowing that single moment of tranquility and focus in which to gently squeeze its trigger, sending the stealthy invisible bolt on its way to its target at breathtaking speeds. A disruptor can even bypass most known personal energy shields or low-grade force field barriers. The result is almost always the same: A sudden hit, the beginnings of a horrific scream, and the molecular of the target then ripped apart in an agonizing, brutal death that leaves only a small pile of smoldering ash as a monument to a shot well made. One shot, one kill, no trace. Even if you miss, a mere graze by one of the rounds of this rifle will cause grievous, even life-threatening injuries.
The Fulgar has a limited number of rounds available in each spun-sealed canister of TibannaX, and so it is designed to make each and every one of them count. A pause is needed between firing, to allow the weapon to cool and to reconstitute one’s aim if, by some chance, a second shot should be needed. A stable position or platform is urged, as trying to make those impossible long-range shots quickly and casually is about as easy as getting a Wookiee out of a buffet in under three hours. This rifle isn’t a battle axe, it isn’t even a sword, it is a scalpel, a finely-honed surgical instrument with which to cleanse the galaxy of cancerous growth. Nevermind the legalities, because any youngling knows these types of weapons are considered illegal by any decent nation or civilization, and just having it is tantamount to a war crime in most sectors. Much less actually using it, because one you make the decision; once you take the shot; there’s no coming back. You have crossed the Rubicon, and the die is indeed cast.
