Material: Duraplast, plastoid, and durasteel framing.
Description:
Designed as a heavy-infantry/anti-tank role, the weapon is capable of tremendously disabling or even destroying a specific part of a target, and has little chance of splash damage or collateral, making it efficient when accuracy is key. The weapon emits a heavy particle beam, and the resulting laser can melt through durasteel rather quickly, leaving a scorching roughly basketball-sized hole in an unshielded and exposed hull, and if put through a particular area, can decimate a vehicle.
However, it's not without's notable drawbacks. Due to the drawbacks of the laser, it must not only emit a targeting beam for up to five seconds that is visible, but it also two-three seconds to charge after emitting the targeting beam, leaving the operator in a precarious position if not covered or relatively out of the range of the vehicle. The beam also, due to it's nature, requires nearly of the laser to hit the target, so even a relatively small shield can deflect and almost dissipate the beam, making the weapon particularly ineffective other than mechanized infantry, tanks, and slow-moving targets, rather than ships, aircraft (unless the user is proficient in it's use and the aircraft is on a predictable and slow-moving path)
