Description:
Designed by Sun Forged Industries in collaboration with Ganathan scientists. The SF-11 Disruptor further upgrades the deadly arsenal of Black Sun. Though it is not intended to be standard issue to the rank and file of her armies, but to the officers, agents and leaders of the Syndicate. The only exception is highly limited sale to friends of the Syndicate with a very hefty sum of credits. Which also comes with a permit to carry such a weapon in Sun Space. (Otherwise illegal).
The technical aspects of the gun are not much different in ability from other weapons of the same class. Quantities of Blaster Gas and a Power Cell are combined in junction to create a more powerful shot; capable of rending the bindings of atoms to kill the target. A single shot to most foes will kill them via disintegration, very painfully. Unarmored of course, most personal armors can be defeated, if not, pump a few more shots until you do. The true shine of this gun is a greater ammunition capacity due to the larger gas canister; nearly spanning half the weapons length. Materially made mostly from transparisteel. (Note Green area as the gas canister partially revealed from the housing). It pressed into the housing and was held by a pin. To remove the gas canister was to simply unscrew the pin handle. (Note the black knob and slide mid section). Pull it outwards and slide back to push the expended GC out, then replace with the method reversed. The user can push the canister in all the way by hand. The Power cell was just forward of the pin handle and juts slightly outwards. It is good for thirty shots before replacement, and can be recharged. It is held in by a clip for ease of change.
For a slight boost of operator survivability. The ammunition ratio is 3:1, (Power Cell to Gas Canister respectively). So only on the 3rd reload would the Power Cell need to be replaced. Saving an average of 3-5 seconds. Enough time that you may live by getting a shot out quicker.
A three bar gas ammunition light display was on the left side of the weapon, gradually reducing in size and graded by accordance to ammunition left. A full three bars meant 10 shots. The two smaller bars 5, and the smallest 1. There is no counter for the power cell. The user should count reloads to determine if the cell needs replacement.
There are some drawbacks to the weapon. Obviously the ammunition capacity is small despite the increases made. Being a disruptor though it is hard to change that with a pistol variant. The other issue is weight. At 2.7 Kg the average user would need to use two hands to keep aim and not grow tired too easily. Such is the sacrifice for such a powerful weapon.
