Intent: To create a variable damage slug thrower that could be used as either crowd control or deadly force on the battlefield with no need for ammunition change, and only a few modifications to the weapon needed. The weapon’s damage will depend on the amount of electrical charge primed into the ammunition through a battery pack connected to the weapon, similar to the battery packs used with the original lightsabers. The speed of the projectile is also controlled by the battery pack and must be slowed down for crowd control use to prevent penetration. During deadly combat however the speed must be amplified.
Model: VS-VF M1 Heavy Repeater
Type: Slugthrower
Size: Heavy Machine Gun.
Weight: 27.6 lbs (12.5 kg)
Length: 49.7 in (1.263 m)
Height: 10.4 in (.263 m)
Composition: Durasteel
Range: 75-150 meters; 75 meters is optimal on the lowest power settings; 150 meters for highest power settings.
Ammunition Capacity: 200 round belt. 1,000 watt battery pack. Can feed five belts before needing to be recharged. Recharge time is one hour.
Description: The weapon itself is less of a marvel when placed next to the ammunition it fires. Small steel balls, about the size and weight of a marble and containing a small capacitor, is what this gun spits out. When the charged ammunition touches an object it releases its charge into that object. At the lowest settings these balls are fired with equal force to a pellet gun and the electrical charges are minor, much less than a taser. When power to the weapon is ramped up the damage and penetrating force of the ammunition are increased. At its highest power rating the balls have enough force to pierce through a human body and the electrical impulses can leave burns or cause hit muscles to seize up for a moment. A single hit, unless directed at the head, heart or other vital organs, wouldn't kill a human. It would leave them bleeding and stunned for a moment. Just like any other slugthrower, the more effective hits on a target the more deadly the weapon becomes. The weapon fires at a constant rate of 120 rpm.
The power supply to the weapon is a 1000 watt battery pack that looks very similar to those used by the first Jedi. The power supply is depleted after 1000 rounds and completely recharges within one hour. The power supply is detachable from the weapon for easier portability, but this renders the weapon useless.
The weapon itself contains an upper and lower rail to mount scopes, lights, lasers, ect. The weapon comes standard with a 3.4x scope and laser sight. The latter is somewhat of a joke as the weapon’s spray pattern is so large that a laser sight is nearly pointless. The spray pattern was purposely made large to deal with large scale riots on crowded planets. The spray makes the weapon nearly useless to target an individual. A trained user and controlled bursts make the spray manageable, but still undesirable outside of its intended use: Locking down a road, corridor, courtyard, and suppressing masses all at once. The weapon also comes with a bipod, mounting clips, and a sling. The weapon can also be mounted to a tripod for standing fire.
