Description
Advertisement excerpt from the catalog of "Galactic Pistols," issue 2240, June 2530
The T-7 Doorbuster pulse pistol is a classic example of the versatility and simplicity of directed energy weapons.
With its nonlethal mode, an officer of the law can drop a fleeing suspect or assailant without risk to life, or the high power mode has stopping power to last.
Each high power shot delivers over 250 Megajoules of thermal and electrical energy, rendering it more than capable of shearing off a duralloy rod up to three inches thick, flash boiling up to ten cubic inches of water, or simply causing destructive stress fracture in most material armors, while the low power mode delivers a mere 25Kj of low amperage, high voltage current to shut down motor control in most biological targets.
Their relatively low cost for handgun class directed energy weapons comes from the proprietary modular coilgun barrel, inducing a magnetic field in the plasma rounds fired, allowing them to self magnetize into a fluid projectile that stays on target, first time, every time.
