Description:
Packing a heck of a kick to both the shooter and the target, the DS-8K is a relatively simple concept and named appropriately. Pack a lot of energy into a ball and then hit your target with the resulting force. It’s a simple, reliable rifle, good for most weather conditions and its trimantium material gives it a good tensile strength against force attacks or other impacts looking to pull it to pieces or puncture it, meaning ripping the metal itself out of someone's hands is a bit harder, especially when wearing the shoulder strap.
A friend to ranged soldiers looking for a secondary weapon they can rely on for some stopping power, as well as civilian home defense. Its isn’t too heavy because the ammo count is relatively low, so putting it over your shoulder as a backup doesn’t impede you too much. It does not take a lot of skill to use given its splash damage, and being reliable you can leave it at home for years and be sure its going to work when you need it, making it a good choice for home protection.
Disruptors are illegal on many worlds because of how they react to living matter, disintegration the probable result for anything unarmored but this varies world to world, species to species, with the weapon sometimes requiring licensing.
Being an energy weapon, shields and armor resistance will play a part, but its got high amount of impact force to its large projectiles, and if it connects directly its more likely than most energy weapons to cause damage, break bones, blow out a shield or penetrate armor through sheer force, which also means you don't want to be standing too close as it has a clear minimum range.
It can be scoped and like most guns taken to pieces to be cleaned, this one taking about 3 minutes to be taken apart and 3 minutes to put back together, nothing special compared to a more common rifle. Coming with a shoulder strap to fit around your neck or shoulder, allowing it to be carried as a backup weapon. It can be reloaded by swapping out the powercell in the barrel, but will overheat if this is done more than twice in a battle.

- Its splash damage makes using it below a range of 7 meters hazardous to the user.
