Description: Designed and intended for those who wish to murder Jedis without the possibility of taking a reflected blaster bolt to the face, the M463 Sonic Launcher is a large, yet powerful sonic weapon. At it's lethal setting, it is capable of shattering solid objects and breaking bones. However, the non-lethal option released a more concentrated blast, which was only capable of disorienting the target, or rendering them unconscious. While all may seem great, the weapon is single-shot and a new power pack is required to be added after every shot. The reload time is also ridiculously slow unless you are a damn super-soldier.

Let's start with affiliation. Your affiliation should read "open market" if you want anyone to have access, or "closed market" if you only want selected buyers to use it.

Ammunition for a sonic rifle is a power pack or energy pack, however you want to say it, and generally has a limited shot capacity before it needs to be changed. If you have it as "single shot" this means you need to reload after each shot. "Semi-automatic" means it fires each time the trigger is pulled until out of ammo, while "full-automatic" means you hold the trigger down and it fires until empty.

Now for range you need a number and it is always going to be less for sonic rifles than blaster rifles. This is due to the fact that sonic waves dissipate faster than the compressed energy of a blaster.

Edit how it makes sense to you and we'll get down to judging.

Thank you! However, I was intending it for it to be single shot, as a fresh power pack is required to be added after every shot.

Also, this may be a stupid question, but what would you estimate the effective range to be? I apologize for the " Slightly longer than a standard blaster rifle.", However, it says in the template: "(Personal, Battlefield, Starfighter, Capital Ship. Feel no need to use numbers. 'Equivalent to a laser cannon' or 'equivalent to a standard blaster rifle' is acceptable. The more detail, the better. Also, remember this is effective range. A mass driver in space may have an infinite range, but it can only effectively hit targets at normal ship combat ranges.)"

For a sonic rifle it would be "slightly more than a blaster pistol" if that's what you prefer or about 25 meters. Up to you I just like numbers.
