- Electronic Components
- Classification: Railgun.
- Size: Small.
- Weight: Heavy.
- Ammunition Type: Metallic Projectiles.
- Ammunition Capacity:
- Extremely Small, 1 projectile. (Magazine size)
- Large, 60 shots. (Battery capacity)
- Effective Range: Average.
- Rate of Fire: Very Low.
- Damage Output: Very High.
- Recoil: High.
- The weapon must be "charged" for a few seconds before it can fire
- Can theoretically fire any metallic projectile that fits within the confines of its barrel
- Surprisingly accurate
- Immense destructive potential
- Relatively compact for a weapon of its type
- The weapon's high projectile speed makes it difficult to dodge
- Can theoretically fire any type of metallic projectile that fits within its barrel
- Dedicated ammunition is relatively small and lightweight, allowing for larger amounts of it to be carried when compared to traditional rocket and missile launchers
- Extremely small magazine size
- Incredibly loud and highly noticeable when fired
- Requires a separate battery system in addition to its physical ammunition
- Horrendous recoil when fired, which is made worse by the lack of a functioning stock
- The weapon has a frighteningly slow rate of fire, and must be "charged" for several seconds between each shot
- Though the weapon is effective against droids, heavily armored soldiers and light vehicles, it is less effective against heavier vehicles, requiring multiple shots to destroy these types of targets
Created at the request of Salvage Team Six, the GHE 85x2 was designed to defeat heavily armored opponents while itself remaining relatively light and compact, though the weapon is still rather heavy to carry for extended periods of time. That being said, it is much lighter and easier to use than most comparable rocket and missile launchers, and its ammunition is especially small and easy to carry, making it ideal for use by specialist units like Salvage Team Six.
The GHE 85x2 operates on the Railgun principle, accelerating projectiles through the use of electromagnetic rails. This allows the projectiles fired by the GHE 85x2 to achieve remarkably high velocities, making them effective against droids, heavily armored soldiers and light vehicles such as scout walkers. Though the GHE 85x2 is specifically designed to fire oversized Quarrels, the weapon is theoretically capable of firing any sort of metallic projectile that can fit within the confines of the barrel.
While the GHE 85x2 remains a potent anti-armor weapon, it is not without flaw. The weapon's single shot capacity, combined with its need to "charge" every shot and horrendous recoil makes it unsuited to rapid engagements, forcing its users to make every shot count. The weapon's damage also falls off against heavier vehicles, requiring multiple shots to destroy these types of targets. Nonetheless, the GHE 85x2 remains a potent threat against many types of unarmored and armored targets.
