SPECIAL FEATURES
- Charged Mode
The charging feature of the Tachyon rifle works by circulating the energy stored in the lithium magazine through a silver conduit network. This conduit network transfers the energy from the magazine into the storage unit located in the 'butt' or the stock of the rifle, the energy then runs through a circular energized loop of conductive metals to build up a powerful electric charge. As the energy travels around and around the small conductive circles in the storage unit, the stored energy will begin to build up an excess of thermal energy as well as kinetic energy. This excess of thermal energy, however, can in some cases, melt through the storage containment of the Tachyon rifle. This will only happen if the rifle's thermal exhaust ports are neglected and not opened. This excess thermal energy can be used to further the amount of damage a charged energy blast from the gun can cause in one singular blast, however, it requires a trained eye on the thermal reading and a knowledge of when to pull the trigger. - Once a blast of charged energy is created, the normally dull and black dot located on the interface of the Tachyon rifle will blink a striking red. (If connected to the HUD of a helmet, it will display a notification to the operator of the rifle that the charged shot is ready to be fired) The gun operator will then have to pull down on the primary trigger of the rifle along with the second trigger to fire the charged conduit of energy. The primary trigger activates the magazine located in the rifle, opening up the loading chamber of the rifle to be ready to launch a projectile. The secondary trigger will connect the energy storage unit to the loading chamber. Once both triggers are pressed, the charged bolt of energy will quickly go in a spiral upwards through the super-conductive inner loading barrel of the Tachyon, charging up energy and building up speed before being launched out of the rifle to deal damage.
Strengths
- Effective at long range
- Charging system allows for powerful, armor-piercing shots which can pierce most armors
- Charged energy shots can pierce most normal, every-day military shielding systems
- Charged energy shots can pierce the armor of some vehiclar devices (lightly to medium armored vehicles; jeeps, tanks, speeders, etc)
- Volatile energy charging system
- Heavy
- Large
- Cumbersome
- Utterly useless in close range
- Slow reload speed for charged shots
- A Tachyon Charge Rifle is a frontline weapon that the military units and infantry squadrons of the GWS use specifically to kill off enemies from afar without getting too close. Specifically, the marksmen and snipers which the GWS employs as part of it's venture military program use the Tachyon Rifles exclusively. These rifles were based on the old design and concept of tibanna-gas snipers rifles though instead of using tibanna gas cartridges, they use energy-based magazines due to their relative rarity in warfare which drew upon the assumption that not many types of armor could withstand energy weapons. However, the Tachyon didn't stop there in improvements over their lesser cousins. Weapon engineers and designers that worked at Griffin War Solutions worked on and eventually included a charging system for an energy blast, creating a powerful, armor-piercing energy shot.
