Owner: Xytan (or anyone else who could get their hands on it)
Creator: Unknown
Development Thread: https://convergencerp.rpg-board.net/t1082p25-the-arclight-tussle#7707
Type: Hand Cannon
Ammo: Spherical metal projectiles that explode upon impact
Rarity: Rare
Strengths:
The projectiles shot from the weapon explode upon impact. This can be devastating against unarmored targets and deliver quite a punch against those that are.
The high number of rounds per clip allows the user to use the weapon for long periods of time before having the need to reload.
Weaknesses:
The weapon has high recoil which may make it difficult to use by those that are not used to it.
It is inaccurate over long distances. Suited for medium distances only as firing the weapon in tight corridors can afflict the user by the explosion generated.
Description:
The weapon's history and origin are unknown. It was procured through some means by Xytan AKA The Freelancer on one of his many missions as a bounty hunter and mercenary. The weapon fires spherical metal projectiles contain a mixture of chemicals inside them that rely on sudden kinetic force to detonate. Each bolt is 1.5cm in diameter, which enables a lot of them to be fitted into each clip, allowing for the weapon to have 20 rounds per magazine. The pistol has a high recoil which means low rate of fire, which is one of its main drawbacks. Another drawback is that it is inaccurate over long ranges and most suited to medium-range engagements.
