Development of mechanical combatants or supplements is always a weighted scale of cost against efficiency, on every level. By virtue of design, even cheap droids or mechs are surprisingly resilient to standard tactics, but come at the cost of unique flaws to exploit. Specifically, exposed and improperly insulated systems can be abused by mechanisms of short circuiting or overcharging them. Is there a good example of this? Several, actually, here below is certainly the most common.
The T-800 series in production by the Void is a terrifying creation capable of vicious results, yet its primary weakness in defense is obvious. Because of units like these, the Blaze of Glory’s crafty gunsmith has created the solution: the Electro Blaster.
The goal of the Electro Blaster is to fire a chain of electricity upon the target, overloading it or shocking it appropriately. Its levels are adjustable, leaving it a versatile weapon in every nature. To explain, it is specialized against mechanical units, but one can adjust the output such that it becomes a simple stun gun, or upped to shock humanoid foes with lethal force. The gun can fire a constant stream, though it will have limitations of overheating in overuse under such conditions, but this is still inherently a feature as it leaves discretion of emergency up to the user. To ensure control of the stream itself, the electricity dispersed flows down a laser projection that contains the flow completely and safely. On top of this, a feature of the firing mechanism allows this laser projection to exit prior to releasing the electricity, such that one can use it as an aiming mechanism as well. Often the overall effect would be fairly limited, but this device has been tweaked and tampered with such precision that it becomes a very reliable medium-ranged weapon choice.
Further details can be accessed within attached design specifications. With those in mind, it should be fairly obvious why this schematic should become an added issue to the Marshalship standard. All review and consideration is appreciated. Further comments can be forwarded to designer and crafter, Cadet Shaila Swiftblade.
