STRENGTHS
Fun With Magnets: The Verpine inspired magnetic coil allows this weapon to deliver a metric feth ton of kinetic energy with each and every shot. It also makes this weapon incredibly useful when throwing down against your local chapter of the glowstick brigade.
Ruggedly Handsome: Speaking of glowsticks, the Cortosis-Weave increases the weapons overall durability from lightsaber strikes, allowing it to survive glancing blows relatively unscathed. The Duraplast also gives it a further hardy disposition.
WEAKNESSES
Less Fun With Magnets: Due to the fine tuning required to make the magnetic coil and polarizing orb work in concert, this weapon is incredibly sensitive to ion energy and requires extensive downtime maintenance when exposed to such.
Kinetic Kickback: Unlike regular shatter guns, the Vornskr has a noticeable kickback that when combined with its increased weight can be difficult for novice marksmen to handle. It also means dual wielding is out of the question for most of the galactic populace, sorry.
Don’t Block: The Cortosis-Weave only grants a limited protection versus lightsabers. Direct or prolonged contact will end badly. Not to mention, Cortosis-Weave does not shut down lightsabers upon contact.
DESCRIPTION
An inelegant weapon for a less civilized age, the Vornskr proves sidearm doesn’t need to be sleek or aesthetically pleasing in order to get the job done. Relying instead on the one thing that really matters when living on the fringe; results. Despite being marketed as a sidearm for tomorrow’s gunslinger, it actually achieves this by drawing on technology that was first pioneered centuries ago by the Verpine, specifically taking an initial conceptual design from the infamous Verpine Shatter Gun.
Instead of a conventional firing pin found in conventional slugthrower revolvers, the Vornskr generates a magnetic field via a polarizing orb, effectively charging the slug with a plasma sheath before accelerating it towards the target. Due to the high velocity and kinetic impact of these rounds, they become decidedly difficult to block by lightsabers and conventional shields. The trade off is the weapon lacks the trademark silence of a true shatter gun and can only be used in conjunction with the appropriate ammunition. The fact the latter is sold exclusively from Tricks of the Trade is just a happy coincidence.
