SPECIAL FEATURES

• Under barrel Modularity: On top of being a great personal defense weapon, the ThunderFist also functions as an attachable under barrel for larger GADF weapons.
• Unstable Plasma: The ammo was redesigned with the modern conflict in mind. While the blaster on the surface looks like a normal scattershot blaster, the pellets it fires have a tendency to explode upon impact with material it can't pierce through.

STRENGTHS

• Particle Pellets: After a breakthrough in particle blaster production, Rara figured out how to make 'pellets' out of the same particle bolts that fire out of a normal blaster. Thus, when fired, the Thunderfirst fires out a cone of pellets that act much like a normal particle bolt, but are able to be fired in a scattershot fashion without being bound to anything.
• Thor's Hammer: While normally designed to fire the newly fashioned Particle Pellets, the Thunderfist, living up to it's name, does have a function to fire a massive bolt, designed for door breaching and armor piercing.
• Dual Wield: The Thunderfist, designed to be able to be attached to larger weapons, is actually quite light. This makes it perfect for those who want to go into a room guns blazing.

WEAKNESSES

• Emergency Weapon: Between it's low ammo count, and it's low rate of fire, the Thunderfist was never designed as a primary weapon. Great for close range trench sweeping or room clearing, but not great for longer duels.
• Stealth?: The Thunderfist, living up to it's name, is very loud. Best you not try and be sneaky with it.

DESCRIPTION
Designed in conjunction with the Talon, the Thunderfist was designed as a new way for the GA to combat close quarters combat. Capable of spraying out a massive cone of particle pellets, the Thunderfist acts as a massive close range deterrent against any enemy, no matter how well armored or big.
