Concerns:

• Blaster weapons generate magnificently less recoil than a Slugthrower. Tri-pod requests are for stability only.
• There is a 3 second computer-activated cooldown between sustained volleys lasting 10 seconds or more. This preserves barrel integrity and prevents warping. During this cooldown period the ammo counter will flash red.
• The weapon is designed to be carried with two hands. However, it can be mounted onto a tri-pod where available.
• Fiber-weave Chest Harnesses are available for additional support during combat.

Its a man portable heavy repeating blaster. My only issue is the rate of fire. Is it cyclic or sustained rate? Also Star Wars weapons seem to be a bit slower than real life weapons.. In real life terms though the cyclic rate of fire for a SAW is like 720 rounds per minute, with a sustained rate of fire of like 80-90 rounds per minute. With two barrels the sustained rate of fire could be effectivly higher because the burden would be on both barrels, but even so 750 rounds per minute seems really high.

I agree on the rate of fire, just a small edit but the rest looks good Mr. Flint.

Nerfed to 640 rpm with a notation on Cyclic.

I don't have a problem with it anymore then. I'm still on trial mode so I'll poke Spencer.
