OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a cheap personal defense weapon, for Civilians and low priority Body Guards
- Image Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/derringer-concept but it was a tiny bit edited by me to make it fit in.
- Canon Link: N/A
- Restricted Missions: (If your submission uses any Restricted Items link the threads you completed the missions in here)
- Primary Source: Image source contains the only thing used.
PRODUCTION INFORMATION - Manufacturer: Scar Industries http://starwarsrp.net/topic/113806-scar-industries/
- Model: SI-CB1 (Scar Industries - Compact Blaster 1)
- Affiliation: Open Market
- Modularity: The grip can theoretically be changed with a basic drill tool, but would need to be a Scar Industries Grip, designed for the gun with the same fitting, or a completely custom fitted grip, made from scratch in order to fit.
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Basic Blaster components, Durasteel, Plasteel and Plastoid Coating.
- Classification: Blaster
- Size: Very small, hand held
- Length: 12.5cm
- Weight: 1.5kg
- Ammunition Type: Power Cell (Yellow glowing Tube in the center) And 2 Micro-Gas Canisters (Seen as the "Bullets") Per full reload
- Ammunition Capacity: 2 shots per canister (up to 4 in total)
- Effective Range: About half that, of a regular blaster pistol.
- Rate of Fire: Manual Hammer system
- Unique Manual hammer system, usually unseen in blasters
- Micro Gas canisters
- 2 Barrels.
Strengths:
- Small, and Compact due to Micro Gas canisters, and a small power cell
- Lightweight materials
- Scratch resistant, due to Plastoid Coating.
- Packs a relative punch, due to hammering system
- Cheap to produce, and purchase
- Sturdy, hard to break
- Low ammo capacity
- Hammer system, meaning shooting takes time
- Low Modularity
- Short Effective range
The gun, is designed as a personal defense weapon, or to be used by low priority security guards. It is small, and compact. It can be kept in a pocket, or small bag with no problems. It is made of durasteel, and plasteel for the main body, however the plasteel is coated in plastoid, to reduce scratching, and to reinforce the substance. The inside mechanisms, are very unique to that of a blaster: Rather than having 1 Gas Canister, it has 2 micro Gas Canisters. The hammer system, is used to regulate firepower, whilst maintaining a small body, to keep it as small as possible: After all, it is not designed for Military clients in particular. As you pull the hammer back, it readies the power cell. As the trigger is pulled, the power cell's energy travels through the end of the hammer, as it hits a rod, connected to the gas canister. This then ignites the contents of whatever half of the canister it hits, funneling the gas down through the barrel, concentrating it into a particle beam. As this happens, the gas canister is rotated, giving the other half of the canister a chance to be emptied. When a single canister's contents has been fired, the hammer will then ignite the gas canister on the lower barrel.
To reload, the hammer must not be pulled back. A small switch must be pulled, to flip the barrel down (as shown in the picture) and therefore to release the contents of the barrel, to be replaced with new canisters.
This is (as mentioned) designed for civilians, on particularly rough planets, to protect themselves from murders, and thefts. It can also be used by cheap bodyguards, as they may only need to fire a few shots. It is deliberately designed for low ammo capacity, to maintain it's small body, and also to prevent it's concealment being abused. It still however, could be used to rob smaller shops, due to only a few shots needed, however it will be significantly harder to use it in public places due to it's manual hammer, and constant need for reloading.
