Description:
As the Black Sun / Red Raven gang war continued to flare, slicers grew more in demand. It was with this realisation that Lysle could incorporate aids for his slicers, droids that could not only help them slice but provide defence for their slicers in the events of an attack. This was due to the disaster on Nar Shaddaa, when a slicing operation went to hell and [member="Cryax Bane"] found himself in heat. After this incident, Lysle took it into his own hands by beginning a several phase plan. The first being the construction of firearms for a future droid that is in the plans [SD1 Drone]. The small rotary blaster will act as the main, and only means of defensive mechanism for the drone that can be remotely controlled by a slicer, or other operative with clearance codes.

During construction it was deemed necessary to make it cheap and affordable, and so Wrestle Mechanics invested in using titanium as the main component for the hull of the weapon. Designed in appearance after the ancient Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, the men and women behind Wrestle Mechanics took a deep look into the mechanics of the rotary blaster and adapted it to the much smaller WMA1. Theoretically it is capable of great firepower, but lacks accuracy. It favours spraying enemy with blaster rounds over precision. Due to the fast-hits of the weapon, the power cell and gas canisters do not carry many rounds, and therefore the theorised drone will continuously have to reload after several bursts of fire.

SUGGESTIONS

Sorry for the delay, things have been so crazy busy with me. Looking over the canon tech you are using to amp up the power shot ( from 20 to 50) doesn't seem to be too much of a crazy issue.

You have added that this is a major power drain on powerpaks, which coincide with canon stating that despite its impressive firepower, the weapon had several notable limitations, specifically the high rate of energy pack consumption, significant weight, and powerful recoil. For a droid this looks good.


Good weakness, so can't complain.
