After undertaking numerous mission threads that required stealth, I discovered that there is virtually no way to maintain any sort of stealth as it currently stands (read: blasters are loud). While last TL my go-to for stealth would have been a verpine shatter pistol, it's a non-canon, OP, magnetically-accelerated slugthrower. I think we can all see there are some issues there... So with all of that said, I'm trying to make a weapon that can be used without declaring your presence to an entire base when you're trying to sneak around for those who don't prefer a fair fight to all the sneaking around.DESCRIPTION
The SP-30's notable feature is its ability to fire extremely quietly. The end of the barrel has an adapter that absorbs the majority of the sound associated with the firing of a gun. Instead, the only sound heard is a slight puffing sound of warm gasses being vented and the quiet sizzle of burning plasma within 30 meters. In order to better facilitate night-operations, the plasma bolts of the SP-30 are a dark bluish-black that prevents the characteristic glow that lights up the night sky. While the bolts are by no means invisible, they don't stand out against the darkness as easily as a bright green, blue, or red bolt. In order to make this possible, though, the pistol sacrifices range, only reaching a little over half of what the average blaster range is these days.
