Description:
The Menace Sonic Blaster is the second step in creating a modern Graug military. The rifle works by first collecting heavily condensed and ionized air in a chamber in the back of the weapon. After this air has been collected it is moved into a second chamber that forces the air into the shape of a capsule before it ignites the ionized air and causes a super sonic snap . This super sonic snap of noise is thrown into a third, plasma, chamber where it is contained by a plasmatic energy field and expelled through the barrel in the shape of a 1 inch capsule of white energy.
Upon impact with an energy based or physical obstacle, the plasmatic energy will spread apart in a mushroom effect and allow the sonic energy to strike the target in a more controlled burst than the Geonosian Sonic Blaster. The sonic energy, therefore, strikes with a greater impact and delivers a furious punch to the enemy that spreads across the entire body. Against unshielded armor, the weapon can easily shatter the structure of most materials. However, when a shielded subject is the target, the sonic energy is easily displaced and has minimal effect aside from a bit of jarring. If the weapon causes damage to an organic by both bursting open its subjects and transferring a lethal vibration throughout the targets body that breaks bones, causes internal hemorrhaging and crushes internal organs. Damage to inanimate objects is done solely through the immense sonic force behind the bolts that is enough to damage armors and cave in objects. Even if the rounds do not hit their mark, the resulting sonic discharge is enough to deafen and disorient opponents.
The weapon is encouraged to be used against Jedi for the reason that the rounds, upon impact with a lightsaber, still send a significant amount of sonic energy warping around the blade. This energy, while not enough to be lethal, is enough to cause deafness, staggering and the feeling of being punched by a wookiee. The overall radius of the rounds is much tighter since the beam is much more compact and resembles something closer to a standard blaster round. The lethal radius of the round is 3 inches while the secondary effects of the round can stretch for a full meter in radius. The rate of fire for the weapon (as it is only a semi-automatic) is 60 rounds a minute.
