- Intent: To create a Mandalorian manufactured pulse cannon to give Mandalorian units access to a powerful anti-light/medium vehicle and anti-heavy infantry weapon.
- Image Source: Here
- Canon Link: Phased Pulse Cannon
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated
- Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated, Mandalorians, Closed-Market
- Model: PPC-01 Phased Pulse Cannon
- Modularity: Yes. Stock, grip, cheek rest, optics and under barrel attachments. Frame can be electroplated with other metals or coated with other materials.
- Production: Minor
- Material: Duranium (frame), Dallorian Alloy (barrel), Agrinium, Duraplast reinforcements and Pulse Cannon parts.
- Classification: Phased Pulse Cannon
- Size: Very Large
- Weight: Very Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Power cell, gas cartridge.
- Ammunition Capacity:Small. 24-round power pack, 96-round gas cartridge
- Effective Range: Extreme
- Rate of Fire: High
- Stopping Power: Extreme
- Recoil: High
- Integrated Gyrostabilizer Module: The gyrostabilizer module keeps the powerful weapon from bucking too much under sustained firing, without it, the PPC-01 would be largely uncontrollable.
- Integrated Barrel Cryo Cooling Lattice: The weapon's cryo cooling lattice keeps the weapon from overheating under normal firing. However, pushing the weapon past it's tolerances can cause the cooling system to lock the weapon's firing mechanism to perform a mandatory coolant flush.
- Fast Projectile Speed: Each bolt or pulse of fusion plasma is incredibly fast, making avoiding or in the case of force users, blocking/deflecting the bolt difficult.
- Armor-Piercing: Each bolt/pulse of fusion plasma is extremely hot. Hot enough to melt flesh and bones, as well as armor and natural carapace.
- Sheer Destructive Power: A single bolt/pulse of fusion plasma fired from this weapon is capable of destroying a speeder bike.
- Long Range: The PPC-01 possesses an extremely long range, enabling the user to engage targets at distances that many would not be able to fire back.
- High Rate of Fire: Like the pulse cannon manufactured by Breshig War Forge Consolidated, the PPC-01 also possesses a high fire rate.
- Heating Issues: Even with an integrated barrel cryo cooling lattice and a Dallorian alloy barrel, the weapon can get extremely hot. At this point, the weapon begins an emergency coolant flush and cannot fire for up to a minute as it begins to cool down. In the middle of a firefight, that can be a death sentence. The weapon carries enough spare coolant for a total of three flushes. Past this point, the weapon will damage itself and potentially ignite or detonate the volatile gas stored within it's gas cartridge.
- Overkill: There is no wound with this weapon, most wounds inflicted are critical, and anything else will likely result in a kill. Not very useful if you'd like to leave people alive.
- Volatile: Should the weapon take any damage, it would be wise not to use it any further, as the gas is volatile and could detonate. Likewise, reloading the gas cartridge requires care.
- Maybe You Should Get a Bigger Gun: Heavily armored vehicles are virtually immune to this weapon, and medium armored vehicles are only vulnerable where their armor is thinnest.
- Heavy: The weapon is both large and heavy, making wielding it in close quarters difficult, and carrying it around a fatigue inducing endeavor.
With the success of their Pulse Cannon, Breshig War Forge Consolidated decided to diversify their pulse weapon offerings with their phased pulse cannon. Whereas the pulse cannon was made to deal with heavily armored infantry, the PPC-01 was designed to deal with light and medium armored vehicles as well as individuals with an overly inflated opinion of themselves. However, in order to reduce the inherent volatility problems, the PPC-01 wasn't given a fully automatic fire setting, which given the power of a bolt from this weapon, is entirely unnecessary in any case.
Like the pulse cannon, the phased pulse cannon also suffers from overheating issues. To alleviate these issues as far as possible, it features a Dallorian alloy barrel and a cryo cooling lattice. Like with the pulse cannon, in order to prevent the barrel from melting, the weapon locks down firing controls and performs a coolant flush when it reaches critical temperature. Each weapon has enough coolant stored to perform three flushes. After that, the weapon will simply shut down for the safety of the operator. As with the pulse cannon, the phased pulse cannon also suffers from plasma medium gas volatility issues.
