DESCRIPTION
The Shard Rifle is a conversion of the famous clone wars DC series blaster rifle that adds a slug throwing mechanism to it while keeping its blaster firing components. The rifle works by similar to a cycle rifle but instead of coating the slug in energy and firing it, the rifle concentrates all the energy at the back of the slug via firing a slightly delayed blaster bolt, causing a tracer like effect. The rifle also comes supplied with custom made shatter round which have an explosive rear which detonates upon impact.

This exploding round works via the kinetic energy built up in the back of the slug (from the blaster round) hitting a primer which causes the rear shard filled end of the slug to explode outwards. This shattering at high speeds sends the shards in the slug outwards causing harm to those in the immediate area while still delivering the majority of the slug into the intended target.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

Firstly, as you state this is a blaster rifle. There are a few edits that need to be made:

Ammunition Type: Bullets andcustom round

Blasters do not use bullets. The ammunition type should be 'Power cells' and 'Gas canisters'.

Ammunition Capacity: 30 single round mag/100round LMG mag

Simply change mag to power cell here.

We can continue once this is done.

It is not a blaster rifle, it is a conversion to a slug-thrower that still incorporates the blaster components to coat the slugs with energy so it can perform the splinter function.

[member="Venthis Zambrano"]

I've edited a few things on it though to make that a bit more clear

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

After consulting with some other Factory Judges we have come to the conclusion that this submission would not be possible in it's current state. It is possible to coat a slug in energy upon, or just prior to, firing it through the barrel of a slugthrower, but post-firing it is not possible to coat the remnants of a slugthrower round in energy by colliding a blaster bolt and a slugthrower together. Hybrid slugthrowers are an entirely different technology from blasters, albeit similar.

I would suggest that you alter this so that the slugthrower round is either partially or entirely encapsulated by energy, as a hybrid slugthrower would do, and utilize explosive rounds to receive the desired effect. Placing a charge on the rear-end of the slug and using the bolt as ignition, is a good alternative.

Encapsulating the shrapnel with energy after-the-fact, however, is not possible.

Okay I'll change that, but would it still be possible to keep the splintering effect of the slugs? [member="Venthis Zambrano"]

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

Yes, if you were to do as I suggested. Have the slug have some form of explosive on the end, and upon impact it explodes causing the slug to give the desired effect.

I'll get to that a bit later, though that was my original plan, but I thought I'd have to submit a custom made round for the gun [member="Venthis Zambrano"]

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

As long as you explain it enough here, and go into a good ammount of detail then it'll be fine.
