SPECIAL FEATURES
  • RAW POWER: The Isotope-5 Power cell is internally integrated with the Rifle. Giving the weapon accouple extra features that boost its performance. For one it reduces the time required to reload. The Gas canisters are the only ammo required. Like wise the T-33 Radiation within the canisters aid the beams against shields. Weapon cannot puncture through shields nor can it be reflected but it can considerably weaken shielding over several shots. The M5 is capable of gradually damaging medium rated vehicles but shines in the area of combating infantry and heavy assaults.
  • Earth Quake: The beams shot by the WESTAR M5 are very unstable, in part due to its inherent make up, the beams shot by the weapon explode in a low-yield burst apon contact. Be it physical, shields or even that of a lightsaber the result remains the same.
  • Noob-tube: The WESTAR M5 is equipped with CSPL-12 Grenade Launcher located on its under belly and is compatible with many different types of ammo. Dependent on the occasion and users preference. The attachment has a max capacity of two rounds by reload is require. With standard explosive shells, the CSPL-12 is capable of much destruction.
  • Faster, Stronger, Deadlier: The Extra power granted by the Isotope-5 power cell extends into features that effects the weapons maximum range and and damage. Creating a far more effective killing machine.
  • "Maximum Fire Power!": This version of the WESTAR M5 allows the user to switch into alternate firing mode. The isotope-5 power cell can be overclocked with the press of a button. Stressed it ejects overcharged particles beams that yield greater burst radius and more potential damage. In this firing mode the WESTAR M5 switches to a safety mode and cuts the amount of energy it can give off. Three hundred fifty rounds is sudden chunked down to 50. To this effect the rate of fire becomes locked to single fire. During this mode the weapon can generate more heat and can frequently over heat, causing the weapon to stall.
  • Splashy & Splash: The main lens the Devastator WESTAR M5 houses is a simple Lava crystal. Particles beams passed through the lens become less focused and on contact with their aimed target explode splashing super heated plasma within the area.
  • The Small Warning Label: The Isotope-5 power cell is secured within the confines of a inertial inhibitor and surrounded by reinforced duraplast. This was installed to ease the stress of combat on the volatile power cell and further protect the user from any harm that could come from it. It is this exact feature that governs the WESTAR M5 when Overcharge in engaged. That said, The device is an extra measure of safety and is not full-proof. If the inertial inhibitor was damaged, the power cell poses a higher risk of rupturing and violently self detonating.
  • H20: Has a Bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse lens allowing the weapon to function underwater.
STRENGTHS
  • Has increased range. Able to fire much further than the model before it.
  • Increased Firepower due to Isotope-5 power cell.
  • Able to "Overcharge" the beams fired.
  • Anti shield and lightsaber due to the nature of particle beams
  • Multiple firing features and firing modes.
  • Able to function under water
WEAKNESSES
  • Not lightsaber resistant.
  • Liable to overheating.
  • Overcharge is locked to severely reduced ammo capacity.
  • Prone to frequent overheating, when overcharged.
  • If the inertial inhibitor is damaged, the power cell has a chance rupture and self detonate.
DESCRIPTION
For years the WESTAR M5 has proven to be a useful weapon in war and combat. Historically said to be used during the clone wars. The a notable latest edition to the weapon being REC-DC/05 Particle Blaster Rifle; Hawk-bat pattern made and used by the Galactic Alliance. Continuing the legacy of the WESTAR M5, The Devastator Series was introduced. Different from its past kin the Devastator was designed as a heavy assault particle beam rifle. During its creation the saying "High risk, High reward." was tossed around greatly and to this end that is exactly what the weapon showcases. Powered by a Isotope-5 power cell the weapon is undisputed in its destructive capabilities and potential. Showcasing a rather impressive increased maximum range of 450m, a ammo capacity of 350 and the ability to function underwater. The Devastator series- WESTAR M5 drastically tips the scales. Isotope-5 opened to the door to many possibilities, one being a reduced reload time and the other being the ability to overlock the power cell itself. The process stressing the Isotope-5 for a short time and producing a overall stronger and more unstable beam of energy. The rounds spat out from the Devastator yield double the energy compared to normal and amplify the burst explosion yielded on contact with its target. Exploding superheated plasma all over the target. This is were "High Risk, High Reward" comes into play. While Overcharged the Devastator has shown several times that it will over heat and stall the weapon briefly. The Isotope-5 power cell is durable but volatile and could be prone to rupturing. To prevent this a inertial inhibitor was installed for further safety, but it there was ever a chance this feature was damaged and the cell ruptured. The after math would be deadly.

Alright man. So after looking over this sub, and getting help from the amazing John Locke John Locke , we found some problems with it. Linked here is the spreadsheet we used. The negative totals mean it is overpowered and one is actually underpowered. I have some ideas of how you could fix it if you want to take them but otherwise it's up to you.

Unfortunately that does not do enough to fix the imbalance. You've got three options as I see it:
1. Go back to the drawing board and try to fix it yourself
2. Allow me give you some suggestions
3. I CAN approve it as is but it may be reported in the future

Alright so after a bit of tinkering I think I got it down. I'll give you the changes in list format so they're easier to understand:

Full-Auto:
  • Up the 'Recoil' stat to 'High'
  • Drop the 'Range' stat to 'Long Range'
Semi-Auto:
  • None needed since dropping the 'Production' Stat to 'Limited' fixed the imbalanced here
Grenade Launcher:
  • This is actually under powered and I'd suggest either upping the 'Damage' stat to 'Extreme and lowering the 'Recoil' stat to 'Very Low'
Over-Charge:
  • Up the 'Range' stat to 'Extreme'
Like I said before, you can take my advice or do your own thing.

Ok I made changes.... They will be in GREEN. If the sub can be approved at these ratings then ill take it. If it gets reported then I guess i'll face the odds and take my chances.

Sargon Priest Apologies for the delay. This is an interesting submission, there's just a few issues.

One, this is a limited submission, it cannot be affiliated with the entirety of a major faction. Please remove the New Imperial Order from the affiliations or change the production rating to reflect this. Two, particle beams aren't necessarily 'anti-shield' in the strictest sense. I'd suggest reworking that strenght. You also have more strengths than weaknesses, again, I'd suggest amending this. The other thing is you're still under by one point on grenade launcher and standard more, and you're under by three on overcharge. If you'd like to keep this, just sort your affiliation issue and we can push this through.
