STRENGTHS
- Silence till the Boom: Firing the weapon is completely silent at first. No sound is really made other than the person pulling the trigger, and the mechanical function of the weapon itself. The round itself is a Sonic Charge that is contained within a "Shell" or a containment bolt. This bolt is charged by Ions to contain the Baradium-Collapsium gas mixture. Once the bolt hits the intended target, this ionic charge will then act much akin to your typical Ion blaster based weapon. With the potential to do substantial damage to Shields, electrical based systems, and the like. However, as this ionic charge is used to deal damage, it releases the mixture of Baradium-Collapsium to act much akin to a Sonic Charge. Imploding upon itself. This Implosion draws upon the direct surrounding air, and even objects. Creating a small intense vacuum before outwardly exploding. One of the side effects is the potential to be completely ripped asunder.
- No Batteries Required: Housed in the "cylinder" of the weapon, is an Improved energy Rylith Power Cell. Providing ample enough energy to supply the Ionic "Shell" bolt, as well as providing the energy to the Seismic Charge. As well as recharging itself by just sunlight alone. However, Reloading the weapon is to provide the mixture of gasses required to create this Sonic Boom weapon work correctly.
- Masking The Bolt: As Ionic weapons are blaster based, and there are easily plenty of systems that which are able to defend against Ion weapons due to specific shielding, This Gas Mask allows for the bolt to nearly pass through most conventional shielding with little to no problems.
- Uh... That's all I got: Due to the amount of energy required to fire the weapon, only a total of 18 shots can be fired from the energy cells before requiring the to recharge from Solar Radiation. Secondly, the weapon still has to be manually reloaded in order to replenish the gas mixture required to create the weapons Sonic Discharge. Requiring not only a wait time after so many shots, but needing to reload to have full functionality of the weapon.
- Backdraft: Due to the usage of an omnidirectional Sonic Discharge, one that is extremely potent even in a smaller version of a hand gun, the sound alone releases at 250 decibels. Anyone not wearing ear protection instantly just lost all hearing, if not busted ear drums, or even loss of breath due to the implosion to a sudden explosion. This includes allies or even the user of the weapon. Secondly, the blast itself has about a 2 meter radius, and anyone within that area can be yanked into the initial impact zone, and then exploded outwards as with everything else that happens to be within it. Once more, allies included. This is really only a weapon that should be used against highly armored foes, or those who you just really, absolutely want to put the hurt on them.
- Not Concealed: Weapon size and weight make it difficult to conceal or use in Close Quarters combat. As if you would even think to use it for that to begin with.
Much like a weapon created from the same minds of the Geonosian Sonic weapons, the hand cannon is made in the same fashion. Utilizing a "Shell" or an Ionic containment bolt in which a mixture of Baradium and Collapsium are combined to create an very unique kind of weapon. Firstly, the bolt itself acts much akin to an Ion Blaster. Specifically meant to be used against shielded fortifications and the like. Doing much more damage to shields than your average blaster based weapon. However, as most shields can absorb the Ionic properties of the weapon, or the ion bolt would otherwise damage the shield, The "capsule" or the shell of the bolt is destroyed and releases the Seismic like charge within.
The Seismic charge rapidly pulls in everything into the impacts location. This includes the air and even sound. This sudden Implosion creates a powerful vacuum in which yanks everything within the vicinity to its center. However, due to the nature of an atmosphere, as well as Physics of thermodynamics, Too much of Atoms, heat, or anything within a "high pressure" wants to move into a "low pressure." This created vacuum then rebounds. Creating a Sonic explosion as well as causing everything to have been ripped into the center of the Impact zone, to become shrapnel that is launched in an omnidirectional fashion.
The resulting explosion has been valued of 250 Decibels. This rating of sound is so loud, that it can cause people who are on the edge of this explosion to suffer loss of breath, capitation of the lungs, Ear drum ruptures, And potentially any oxygen or air in the lungs to suddenly explode outwardly. However, those who are in the center of this, will suffer much more damage in the same fashion. Typically having entire portions of their body ripped inwards due to the implosion, and then suddenly exploded.
However, individuals can be protected from this. Should the bolt hit outside of a shield, the shield can protect them from the said explosion and implosions. Sonic dampeners can protect the wearer from the sonic charge itself.
