SPECIAL FEATURES
- Extreme heat
Strengths:
- The heat is too much - a pulse cannon inflicted extreme pain on its victim as the extreme heat of the bolt burned through it's victim and possibly their armour.
- I fire quick - Due to the above average speed of the bolts, and the rate at which they could be discharged from a weapon, pulse cannons were often used to take out groups of stationary or fast moving targets.
Weaknesses:
- EMP me - EMP's will stop the plasma from heating also well as stop it from firing.
- Reloading - it has a very slow reload speed making it hard to reload in the middle of a battle
- Recoiling - the recoil is very high possibly throwing the guns accuracy out unless it is mounted.
DESCRIPTION
A pulse cannon was a powerful rapid fire weapon that fired a concentrated bolt of fusion plasma, generally in the form of an incredibly fast moving small orb of blue or purple light. This weapon was used a lot in the days after the fall of the empire. However due to the gulag plague they were thought lost to the galaxy as a whole. That was until Mirdirmorut figured out the tech to recreate them. In doing so it decided to go out of it's normal closed market state instead placing these on the open market for anyone to use hoping it would attract more attention to the company.
The extreme heat of the plasma bolt has been know to burn through people causing immense pain. Given it's rate of fire it is a good offensive weapon against large groups. However it's reload speeds are atrocious and people will find themselves stuck in a fire fight if they don't have another weapon. Due to the heating of the plasma within the weapon an EMP could effectively disable it. As for the recoil of the gun there is a chance it can throw out the weapons accuracy unless it is mounted.
