DESCRIPTION​

The Legendary Vortex Blaster Rifle is a Blaster Rifle rumoured to have existed during the Galactic Civil War and floated around as a Exotic piece of Hardware that was INCREDIBLY hard to get ones hands on as it was distributed only to a select amount of people.

The uniqueness of the Blaster Rifle in question is that it was built to last almost indefinently, built from very expensive and carefully chosen materials it is rumoured that Rifles of this kind found nowadays aren't remanufactured but rather Rifles that had outlasted the Civil War to this day and are in almost pristine condition even after such a long time.

The Blaster Rifle itself had a very unique fire mechanism in which it cycled blaster Bolts behind the actual trigger giving alot more room for experimental designs which introduced a faster fire rate than traditional semi automatic Blaster Rifles aswell as introduced the experimental Fire Mode the Vortex got its name for.

The "Two-Tap" or "Double-Tap" introduced in the Vortex was a Fire Mode that fired two shots almost directly back to back where said projectiles would leave the barrel almost at the same time offset by only a fraction of milliseconds, this however came with its own detriments as it would heat up the Barrel more consistently and thoroughly which caused the Chromium Barrel to begin to glow once a specific heat was reached.

The Rifle was an acquired taste and entered a honorable mention in most Historical Weaponry Entries.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. This Weapon is a Military Grade Weapon and undergoes the respective licensing of such a Weapon.

Additionally this Weapon features a unique firing mechanism that counts as excessively modified weaponry and undergoes that licensing aswell.

INTENT​

To introduce a unique and exotic Blaster Rifle that is both sexy and sleek in design aswell as expand upon a Legends Weapon that caught my eye.

RESTRICTIONS​

This weapon falls under the Ruleset of overheating weapons, every third consecutive use of the "Double-Tap" function may incur an overheat in PVP environments and is subject to a roll of a d6 which will cause the Weapon to overheat on the roll of a 1 rendering it unuseable for 2 rounds.

Additionally this Weapon counts as gear that is incredibly hard to get a hold off and therefore may not be specified as starting equipment for a Player Character as it is EXCEEDINGLY EXPENSIVE.
