TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Heavy Blaster Pistol
• Size: Average
• Weight: Average
• Ammunition Type: Prothium Gas
• Ammunition Capacity: Average
• Effective Range: Long Range
• Rate of Fire: Very Low
• Stopping Power: Very High

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Modified disruptor technology increases range and damage.
• Duranium plating, shock-absorbent gel, and liquid-aenite coating increase structural integrity.
• Enhanced grips and shock-absorbent gel decrease recoil and increase the handling ability of the weapon.

STRENGTHS

• Heavy Pistol: The BAW-57 has an increased damage input when compared to most blaster pistols, which makes it a practical and powerful sidearm on the battlefield as well as increasing its usefulness against varying types of armor.
• Souped-Up Blaster: The BAW-57 is constructed with disruptor components that, while it does not make the blaster a
• Streamlined: With an internal recoil receiver that is lined with SACG-23S Shock Absorbent gel, the BAW-57 features both reduced recoil and overheating prevention, making it more useful and less likely to jam as well as protecting the blaster from internal damage.
• Reinforced Protection: The BAW-57 is encased in a reinforced duranium shell and liquid-aenite coating, an exceptionally sturdy metal that protects the blaster from external damage.

WEAKNESSES

• Ammunition Cartridge: Although upgraded from the pitifully-small power cells of its predecessor, the number of shots that the BAW-57 is able to achieve with a single power cell is still lower than the standard due to the increased power draw from the high damage output.
• Big Blaster: The BAW-57 is heavier and has more mass than most conventional blasters, placing it more in the battlefield range of pistols and limiting its civilian practicality.

DESCRIPTION
Almost a complete overhaul of the original design, the BAW-57 Heavy Blaster Pistol is designed to perform well in all of the categories that its predecessor, the BAW-55, lacked in. While retaining the powerful nature of the design, the BAW-57 features a slightly increased ammunition capacity, reduced recoil and overheating, and is more reinforced from external damage. Very much a battlefield-oriented pistol, the BAW-57 is able to punch holes in armor that most pistols would only make a scratch in, and is an extremely capable sidearm in the right hands.

Looking much better, thank you. Still one or two references to a large amount of ammunition, which obviously isn't the case now, so I'll approve once you remove them.

A solid sub otherwise, one of many I've seen from you as of late. Keep it up!

 

[Alban Roble]

Runi Verin fixed, and thank you!

Just one mention left:

Reload Time: Although the power cell of the BAW-57 can hold an exorbitant amount of ammunition, the reload time for the weapon is quite slow and can be cumbersome if the weapon is reloaded during a firefight.

 

[Alban Roble]

Runi Verin my bad, fixed!

 

[Runi Verin]

Approved.

• Ammunition Capacity: Low
• Effective Range: High

This need correct ratings

• Ammunition Capacity: (List the ammunition capacity. The more powerful and lighter the weapon, the lower the magazine capacity is likely to be. Please choose a size between Extremely Small, Very Small, Small, Average, Large, Very Large and Extremely Large. You may also include a number with the Rating)
• Effective Range: (Effective range in relation to the weapon type. Remember that a carbine will have a longer range than a pistol, an assault rifle longer range than a carbine, and a sniper rifle longer than an assault rifle. Choose from None, Point Blank, Personal, Average, Long Range, Battlefield, and Extreme. Battlefield and Extreme will require justification in strengths and weaknesses.)

For posterity and to give an idea I have included the chart with average ratings as a default to see how much point wise you have to move around.
