SPECIAL FEATURES
Variable output consumes constant gas and energy to fire, but allows for the operator to dictate the power of the attack.
At maximum output the blast has devastating damage potential.
Operator can dial the distance rating of the weapon up above standard settings, giving it additional range in combat. This can take an opponent off guard or allow the operator to change their distance at will.
STRENGTHS
Bad Boy: This gun is imposing on looks alone. Its that generic Corellian sass in blaster pistol form: ten sizes too big to have any business being a pistol, and hung at the hip to discourage the curious. Anyone with an eye for firearms can tell it's tricked out, though how is a secret to everyone.
Modular firepower: Alkor can tune the blaster to fire at different outputs. They all have the same rate of fire and energy consumption, though. It's very functionally efficient.
Range tweaking: you're always guaranteed accuracy within ten meters; but Alkor can rig the gun to fire more accurately up to fifty, for a short time.
WEAKNESSES
Iron Sights: No targeting systems, no frills. Alkor learned to shoot properly sometime during his life, and he came to believe that a man who can't fire a gun by virtue of his own eye shouldn't fire one to begin with. Because of that, its functionally incompatible with even the most advanced HUD uplinks in the Galaxy.
You can't hide: Where you go, this gun goes with you. And everyone knows it. This weapon wasn't built to be concealed.
Slow burn: The rate of fire on this thing is fixed. It won't ever fire faster. No matter how big the blast might be, it takes a steady hand and proper timing. This weapon ain't for an amateur.
Overflow: Getting greedy and attempting to fight at full power for too long will overheat the weapon. Even Dallorian alloy has its limits; important parts of the weapon can warp or melt, rendering it inoperable.
Jamming: Too many shots fired at modified distance will cause the weapon to jam, which requires several posts of downtime to clear. After the weapon is cleared, it will return to normal range. (~10m average)
DESCRIPTION
When you start living outside of the law, you start wanting to play around with tools you know you can trust. Sometimes dealers get shifty and try to turn you over to someone, or you just stop having faith in humanity. Either way, once you turn to scavenging, you start learning how to play around with old toys and make them better.
That's what I did with this old thing. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure: I say, nothing ever really goes bad. People just get tired of fixing things. Once you fix enough of the problems, the actual gun becomes unrecognizable.
And no one ever expects things they don't recognize.
