Tufasumo-pattern plasma caster: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

The Type-53 Plasma Bolt Launcher bears a resemblance in shape and overall functionality to the [[Type-50 concussion rifle]], also manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]]. However, the plasma caster is considered to be an elegant refinement and diversification of the concussion rifle. The plasma caster is designed with an extended, pronounced stock, a low-set magazine that allows easy access, and an accentuated muzzle which remains closed unless the weapon's operator charges the chambered round, upon which the barrel splays open before launching the charged bolt. After firing a charged bolt, the plasma caster enters an automatic cool-down mode for several seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

The plasma caster can fire up to five explosive [[plasma]] rounds in quick succession, or fire a single charged round at a greater distance which adheres to a surface it lands upon for 1.1 seconds before detonating, releasing additional explosives to pepper the immediate area. Charged rounds have excellent tracking properties against vehicles, although this effect is very minimal against enemy infantry and charged rounds can be evaded easily by [[~~Type~~-54 Banshee|Banshees]] and [[Z-1800 Phaeton|Phaetons]]. The weapon's relatively clean area of effect allows it to be used surgically in the hands of a proficient user, though at range its slower projectile velocity requires more skill to wield effectively.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
