Description: Mythos picked this weapon up while raiding a spice mine with [member="Cadan Tazi"]. No one knows where it came from or who made it but they know it's old due to the date in the serial. Custom made possibly by a pirate or a warlord who had a weapon maker in the payroll and wanted something powerful. He delivered. The Samael is one-of-a-kind, it's old school monitor at the back of its grip looks very good and the lighting dims and shades according to the brightness in the area. The display shows things like ammunition capacity and heat, warning the user when it's low on ammunition or close to overheating, the latter rarely happening.

Valkyr fire is the second fire mode that this weapon sports, found by accident when Mythos fired the weapon at enemy combatants. It makes the weapon harder to control but it triples the speed in which the weapon fires. The way the weapon is made shows knowledge in military weaponry of very high caliber by the manufacturer however this weapon suffers from high maintenance issues, dirt and residue builds up between fights and can jam one or more of the weapons barrels causing malfunctions. The Samael has several dings and scratches, the tear and wear of the years give it an old school look as well as the knots with rope and tape to close on the plasteel parts. The weapon is well cooled, various space for exhaust to release and a internal hydraulic piston to let hot air out of the crucial parts of the weapon, because of this it takes a long time for The Samael to overheat.

Most of this looks solid.

Ammunition Capacity: Internally it can hold about one hundred thousand shots.

The closest canon equivalent that I know of, the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, has a capacity of two hundred shots. There do appear to be machine-gun blasters that have really high ammunition capacities, like the E-Web that effectively have unlimited ammunition but they also tend to have immovable power generators. I'll do a bit more digging to see if I can find some better equivalents. With that, you're welcome to point out either canon or Star Wars Chaos canon weapons with similarly high ammunition counts to me as well.

I can get behind some sort of advanced cooling system which means this doesn't heat up as much as most other repeating blasters, but I'd also like to see it written somewhere within the submission that this has some sort of cool down time eventually.
