Special Features:
- The OS-115 “Bonesplitter” comes with five modes of fire and a chainsaw function:
Stun Blast – semi-automatic - When the tripper is depressed, a ten-foot cone of stun energy is unleashed. This energy processes enough electrical energy to stun the nervous system of most humanoid creatures, causing temporary paralysis and/or unconsciousness. - o Regular strength bolt – semi-automatic – Each time the trigger is depressed, a single blaster bolt is fired.
- o Regular strength bolt – three-round burst – Each time the trigger is depressed, three blaster bolts are fired.
- o Regular strength bolt – automatic – When the trigger is depressed, multiple blaster bolts are fired in a continuous rate of fire until either the trigger is released or the weapon depletes its power supply.
- o Super-charged bolt – semi-automatic – When the trigger is depressed, a single super-charged blaster bolt is fired. The bolt fired from this setting is highly powerful for a weapon of this class and has considerable stopping power. The trade off to using this mode in increased recoil, decreased effective range and drastically decreased ammunition capacity. Also, excessive use of this setting will trigger an automatic shutdown of the weapon in order to prevent an overload.
- Chainsaw Function: A separate button located just to the right of the trigger assembly allows for the operator to activate the chainsaw attachment. Doing so will cause the weapon to automatically switch into safety mode and the weapon will not be able to fire while the chainsaw is engaged.
- Versatile: With five modes of fire (detailed above) available to user, this weapon provides an answer to a number of potential combat situations.
- Super-powered shot: At its highest setting, the “Bonesplitter” is able to deliver super-powered a blaster bolt with a power quotient seen in higher end small blaster cannon emplacements.
- Chainsaw Function: The "Bonesplitter" has a chainsaw attachment mounted to it, making it an effective melee weapon in the right hands.
- Maintenance intensive: Due to its numerous firing modes, the “Bonesplitter” is a far more complex device than most traditional blaster rifles. It requires the user to be familiar with a rather intensive maintenance regimen in order to keep the pistol in working order. Failure to do so will result in quick and drastic decrease in weapon performance, up to and including explosive overload.
- Automatic shutdown: To prevent the weapon from overloading during the use of the super-powered bolt setting, the weapon will automatically shut down for a period of three minutes after ten consecutive super-powered bolts have been fired in the span of five minutes or less. This safeguard cannot be overridden or negated.
- Heavy and Unwieldy: The Bonesplitter is a large and heavy weapon, which makes using it without the assistance of power armor very difficult for normal sized humanoids. Beings such as Wookiees or T'surr, who are renown for their physical strength and size can use this weapon without issue.
- Dangerous: This weapon requires rigorous and specialized training to use effectively. Given the size of the chainsaw attachment and the power with which is spins, if an operator does not hold the weapon correctly they can very easily injure themselves seriously, even to the point of being maimed or killed.
- Highly susceptible to EMP/Ion attacks: The circuitry housed within the Bonesplitter is highly susceptible to EMP, Ion or other electronic attacks. Attacks of this nature will leave the weapon inoperable.
DESCRIPTION
Based heavily on the principles developed for the OS-109 "Fate" Variable Strength Assault Rifle, this rifle provides longer range, higher stopping power in the super-charged bolt mode and increased ammunition capacity, at the expense of drastically increased weight and size. Like the “Fate”, this rifle provides five modes of fire making it a versatile weapon. The main drawbacks however, are an intensive maintenance regimen and the weapon’s unwieldy nature, which makes it difficult for normal sized humanoids to use it without the aid of power armor. Designed for use in the thick of battle, the Bonesplitter also has a chainsaw attached to it, which runs off the weapon's power cell. This makes the rifle, in addition to being a formidable ranged weapon, a powerful melee weapon as well.
