Approved Ranged Weapon DC-902d Interchangeable Weapon System

[Jacen Breska 'TK-710']

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Modular fire configurations (Close Assault, Carbine, Sniper)
• Range, fire rate, ammunition capacity, and damage are all dependant on what configuration the weapon is in. Close Assault has close range, high fire rate, high ammunition, average damage. Sniper has battlefield range, low fire rate, low ammunition, high damage. Carbine is in between.
• Integrated rail system for tech add-ons.
• Adaptive ammunition compatibility (can fire scavenged gas canisters or improvised energy cells in a pinch)
• Ion/EMP compatible module for droid disruption
• Underbarrel 'masterkey' slugthrower.

STRENGTHS

• Every Man an Island!: The DC-902d ensures that every soldier wielding her is a fireteam! Switching from short range assault weapon, mid range carbine, or long range sniper fire.
• Modularity is Key!: The DC-902d is designed with compatibility in mind, with adaptors included in each kit to allow for the adaptation of enemy components and ammunition as required!
• Field Friendly Maintenance!: The DC-902d was built with the knowledge that troopers can’t always return to the armory to repair their weapons. So each unit is built with an onboard diagnostic tool for assistance in repairing the base module!
• Effective Against Living and Not So Living!: The ability to be used against all possible targets is paramount to the success of this weapon platform! So, switching between blaster rounds and EMP/ion blasts was one of the preliminary features decided on! Organic beings? Droids? The DC-902d can blast them all! (results may vary.)
• Particle Beams! We Love to See ‘Em!: Occasionally you may be met with those of a more mystical, some may say magical, persuasion! Fear not! This weapon also allows conversion to fire Particle Beams!
• Shoot metal? We love metal!: With the addition of a single shot underbarrel slug thrower, we give our users the ability to fire rounds of kinetic ammunition downrange

WEAKNESSES

• Okay at Everything, good at nothing!: The DC-902d was built with the sole purpose of being able to do everything a soldier could need it to do! And it does! Wow! But it doesn’t do any of those things particularly good! Assault weapon fire rate, Marksman rifle cooling, or Sniper rifle distance. All of these would be better in an actual weapon from their class!
• Inefficient Fuel Economy!: Modularity comes at a cost. Swapping modules and supporting alternate ammo types draws extra energy from the internal cell, meaning you'll run dry faster than you'd like. Especially if cycling between modes mid-mission.
• Handle with Care!: The base rifle is sturdy, but the pieces are fragile! If any bit of a weapon configuration’s kit breaks, forget about trying to use it! Long-barrel dented? Say good bye, Sniper mode!
• It’s Awkward!: Carrying this weapon system and all its accompanying pieces is a pain, requiring more storage space. The weapon does the job of several, but weighs and takes the space of two.
• It Doubles as a Grenade!: Firing blaster or EMP/Ion? No problem! The cooling system used in this rifle will keep you from burning out the battery. But firing Particle Blasts in rapid succession? Well you don’t have to worry about reloading because the strain on the cooling system will cause the battery to explode!

DESCRIPTION
The DC-902d is an attempt to bring the legendary DC-17m Interchangeable Weapons System to the modern day. It was designed with the idea of giving one soldier the firepower of a squad all by himself. Special Forces soldiers, or those behind enemy lines, need more then the average blaster of the rank and file. That’s where the DC-902d comes in. This weapon is NOT a replacement for a main battle rifle and was never intended to be that. Everything it does, it does worse than a dedicated weapon. Such is the price for being an unspecialized piece of equipment.
The intention was to create a weapon that significantly increases mission success and help prepare for most probabilities, but not all, with the hopes that whatever holes the weapon system has, the Trooper using it will be able to scavenge components to help plug it.
