Description: The Heavy Plasma Rifle is largely based off the Plasma Rifle created by Tazi's Machines. The weapon is designed by Tazi's Machines. It was produced to give soldiers a tripod mounted able weapon that could be used for defensive purposes and for in battlefield combat.

Because of the heat of the weapon, the barrel must be changed along with the power cartridge ever 12 shots.

The Heavy Plasma Rifle works by electromagnetically accelerating a plasma shell down its barrel. In effect, it is a miniature mass accelerator.

The Heavy Plasma Rifle delivers pulses of searing energy and superheated matter that has been transmuted into a gaseous plasma state that carries and electrical charge.

The solenoid is then charged fully, propelling the newly produced plasma out of the gun at an extreme velocity while keeping it cohesive. Though this electromagnetic field continues to keep the plasma together until impact, residual plasma is expelled from the barrel to produce the weapon's considerable muzzle flash.

For now the weapon is used on a tripod. But when Tazi's Machines eventually create battlesuits, they plan to make this one of the main weapons for the suits.

Please link me to any and all canon sources (chaos canon included) which can be related to this weapon to justify the degree of power you're asking for.

 

[Cadan Tazi]

Have linked them under "Sources of information".

generate the destructive heat of a small sun, impacting with the fury of a supernova and can slice through durasteel, flesh and bone as if it were nothing.

This is not going to fly. I need this removed, completely.

Effective Range: Up to 60 meters.

+ Long Range

You state that the weapon has a long range, yet the effective range is 60 meters, which is just over that of a standard blaster pistol.

hough this electromagnetic field continues to keep the plasma together until impact, residual plasma is expelled from the barrel to produce the weapon's considerable muzzle flash.

Is the intent behind the use of plasma and an electromagnetic field to mimic the capabilities of a lightsaber?

 

[Cadan Tazi]

Bumped range up to 150m, if that's alright?

The electromagnetic field contains the plasma until impact.

Yes that is the intent behind the plasma and electromagnetic field.

I need you to be aware that the containment of plasma is not going to grant you the same cutting power of a lightsaber, and I need to see an outline of how this is expected to react to various materials that are commonly considered lightsaber resistant, i.e; cortosis, ultrachrome, phrik, beskar, etc.

I will then need to see a minimum of 50 posts of development to retain this sort of power, which has a vast advantage over all other blaster weapons out there, as well as various further changes that will be highlighted below.

• 50 posts of development towards this weapon as the main focus of the thread.
• Explicitly describe how powerful this weapon is, give a rough estimate of how capable this is of making its way through a 10 cm plate of durasteel for example.
• Describe its expected effects when the plasma round impacts lightsaber resistant materials in a bullet-list format of each one (for reference see Restricted & Banned Items List).
• Range reduced to 30 or below meters, or personal if you'd prefer a slightly more vague definition here. Remove long-range advantage, a containment field for a lightsaber-like bolt of plasma isn't going to make it that far.
• Make use of a Diatium containment field as seen in use by canon lightsabers, or otherwise include 10 more posts of development to go without diatium circuits.

or

• No Development thread
• Remove any and all portions of this that are meant to mimic a lightsaber.

I am going to start to work on a dev thread, not sure how long it will take.

Also change range to 30 meters and removed long range.
