Description: One of the most deadly weapons to be considered to make and use. The SKAL Acid Cannon is a highly Illegal heavy weapon designed by Saverok Barcu and made by Iscariot Industries. The Acid Cannon is large and heavy classifying it as a heavy weapon. Made of mostly reinforced duraplst the weapon is very durable and can withstand a glancing blow from a lightsaber but I would not recommend it, Ill explain why in a minute. Coated with advanced polymer the weapon can resist its own effects, specifically the barrel which has the most exposure to the Liquid Acid. SKAL Acid Cannon is not a water gun and those who mistake it as one will be very very mistaken. Alike all liquid acids the liquid is subject to splashing and wind effects. The stream of acid can be fired once every 2.5 seconds and the Vial contains enough Acid to make four shots. This is for safety reasons for the user of the weapon. The reinforced vial is rather large about the size of 32oz Jar and stores a lethal amount of acid. This is wear I warn and tell you why its a horrible idea to subject this ranged weapon to harm. Enough force could easily break the Vial and literally spill disaster. Pwn intended ^_^ .
But lets move onto the effectiveness of such a weapon. SKAL Acid Cannon if handled with skill and care will take care of almost anything in its path. Once the acid makes contact the it produces a toxic cloud of flumes as it eat the material which can burn the lungs if inhaled, Air Scrubbers can cancel this effect. When it comes to flesh the acid could easy kill a someone, but not in the way your thinking. The weapon cannot melt someone in seconds but rather slowly kill them over time. The chemical fist attacks the nerves destroying them. Feeling pain is cut short due to this. Once the nerves are gone the acid continues to consume till it comes in contact with a bloodstream wear it suddenly reacts and spreads like wildfire chemically reacting with the water in the bloodstream. End result for most species in Cardiac Arrest with a nasty smell. Not the ideal melting picture you had in mind i know but dont look so sad the Weapon specializes against armor reducing Metals, alloys and materials of the like to a yummy stew, unless the armor is coated in sometype of Corrosion resistant substance. Likewise the stream of acid has no effect against energy shields of any type.
One more thing... Using the SKAL Acid Cannon in close quarters combat is a very bad idea.
OOC Note: This weapon will never be used to Kill a PC in a single shot.
