- The Sonic Stunner was remarkable as a torture tool, as it could cause pain and incapacitate target with a sonic blast only they could hear, applying pain directly to the brain.
- The Sonic Disruptor on the other hand, was remarkable for being far less precise, being instead far messier... or it would be, if not for the fact the victims were entirely vaporized by the viscous sonic wave that damn-near atomized them. Oh, and can't be deflected by a lightsaber or blocked by energy shields.
- Both of these are exceptionally illegal, and are now being featured in the same weapon, enjoy!
- Sonic Assassination - Need a totally silent method to cause pain and suffering to an individual before the inevitable death from organ jelly-fication? This is your weapon. The only one that'll be hearing the pain inducing sound of this nasty little pistol will be your target, and anyone else around them will be unaware, assuming the now pain ridden target to be going insane. Of course, you should still be careful, it's range isn't exceptional, and it could take a minute or two of continuously firing it on them. Not recommended at parties.
- Emergency Disintegration - Looks like your failed assassination attempt was noticed, huh? Don't worry about it, use that extra power cell in there to super charge your sonic waves, and aim to liquidate whoever is trying to chase you down. This thing is nasty as hell, and there's a damn reason why its illegal as all kark. Oh, and icing on the cake, ignores energy shields and circumvents lightsabers entirely.
- Heavy - This pistol weighs a ton, and is rather unwieldy for its size. Unsurprising given its two for one nature, but nonetheless aiming this thing is going to take some extra effort on the shooter given its size and weight.
- Limited Ammunition - Although the stunner can fire as many times as needed up to a total of sixty seconds per power cell, the disruptor on the other hand is a power guzzler, sucking up half or all of the pistols available ammunition capacity for either a point-blank or personal range. Oh, and it takes several seconds to cool down between shots, or between shooting and reloading (which is long on its own). This is very much in the territory of "single target weapon". Oh, and don't miss, you'll regret it.
- Time - Believe it or not vibrating internal organs with sound in a manner only the victim can hear really is torture... in that it's painful and takes a long time to die from. It would take at least a full minute (possibly two) of continuous well trained fire to cause enough organ damage to cause an immediate death. It will cause terrible injury up until that point, but injuries that could be sustained and recovered from after visiting a medical facility. To incapacitate and liquefy organs, it requires a bit more time to do than cause debilitating pain a few times.
- Subtly - Although it can't be heard by anyone but the victim in its stunner phase, the consequences of firing it will be apparent to any witnesses, as its unlikely the victim will writhe in agony quietly. Then, when you're inevitably caught, you'll probably use the disruptor setting to ensure no one follows your trail. Well, you won't leave much of a visible trace, but that blast will be heard for miles.
- Kickback - With the extreme power of disintegration, comes the extreme responsibility of disintegrating wrist bones. No joke, the heaviness of the weapon plus the unrelenting discharge of vicious sonic energy will damn near take your own hand with it.
- Disintegration Range - While the stunner can hurt and stun targets from a fairly average range for a pistol, the Disruptor is far more limited, losing power quickly the farther out you are trying to disintegrate. With a single full power cell, it will only disintegrate targets that are literally in arms reach, and with two full power cells its disintegrating abilities will drop off after a handful of meters. Theoretically you could still partially disintegrate something just out of range, or if you don't hit dead center, but more often than not its hit or miss, and when you miss... its a big fat miss.
- Illegal in the EXTREME - This weapon is an amalgamation of two highly illegal and deadly weapons, so illegal and dangerous in fact, the manufacturer hides the fact that they manufactured it. You'd probably be executed just having it in your own home, let alone to use it, and if you said where you got it from, you'll probably be murdered before getting to the green mile.
Triam Akovin did not make this weapon, and if you heard anyone who said she did, you're wrong. She didn't.
Officially.
While Triam is a solid businesswoman who goes through the proper channels to create some outstandingly amazing technology, and has been renowned for various additions to the market of non-lethal and incapacitating technology. But lately, she's been experimenting... and some of those experiments?
Well, let's just say that there is a reason why she doesn't work for the government. They don't approve.
Among other morally challenging innovations in her career, this is Triam's latest (unofficial) model in "How to kill up the bad guy good and get away with it".
Author's Note: Disintegration and organ liquidation effects are PC dependent, who will determine how this weapon specifically effects them. Oh, additionally, in order to receive this weapon, Triam must be approached directly IC "looking for something dangerous". The existence of this weapon is not public knowledge, but if she trusts you, she is likely to gift it to you (for the right favors).
