STRENGTHS

• DAMAGE-DEALER: As the weapon is a railgun, paired with the FDS MagRound it can cause a considerable amount of damage, sending a sharp Mullinine rod at its target with pinpoint accuracy.
• LONG-RANGE: As the weapon is a railgun, the rounds are projected at such a speed that the distance it can travel is exceptional for a sidearm.
• EMP-PROTECTION: The weapon comes installed with a MIL-GRADE ElectroMag Defense Unit, which is designed to protect the weapon against EMP attacks.

WEAKNESSES

• OVERHEATING: The battery within the weapon is prone to overheating and may combust if the weapon isn't allowed to cool between consistent firing.
• EXPENSIVE: As a result of the materials and pinpoint precision involved within the manufacturing process of the weapon, the FDS-9P is quite expensive to both purchase and repair.
• HEAVY: The sidearm is quite heavy in comparison to its blaster counterparts, a result of the railgun components and battery contained within.

DESCRIPTION
The smallest weapon in Fiora Defence Systems' flagship small arms railgun line, the FDS-9P MagPistol is a reliable, deadly yet expensive sidearm that is ideal for personal defence. Designed & manufactured as a high-end weapon system, each piece is particularly expensive to both purchase and repair. As a result, the user is provided with a reliable, capable and deadly sidearm that is useful in almost any situation.

As the weapon is a high-end system, each piece has a Nakaioma ElectroMag Defence Unit installed which protects the weapon from electromagnetic pulse attacks, a necessity for a weapon that requires a power-pack to operate. Upon firing, the weapon emits a quiet whine-like noise, akin to the sound of travelling fireworks.

Additionally, upon a round exiting the weapon, a number of small sparks are produced from the barrel of the weapon. The design team has referred to this effect colloquially as the "Dragon's Breath", and is a unique side-effect to the weapon's overall design. Users witnessing this unexpected blast have compared to being similar in appearance to plasma-based weapons, though the design of the FDS-9P bears no semblance whatsoever.
