Macro Laser
DRv3: T-3 heavy Anti personnel
Purpose: Drone/Mecha Weapon/Personal scale weapon
Range (Planetary): 5,000m
Rate of Fire: 120 pulse per minute
Ammo: 10 charges per Macro cell

Discharge Information

  • Muzzle Flash: A bright flash of blue light momentarily erupts from the barrel as the laser fires.
  • Retort: pew pew
  • Beam Appearance: A bright, visible beam of straight blue energy stretches from the weapon to its target visible only for a fraction of a second. If on fully automatic it gives the appearance of a constant beam of blue energy about as thick around as a human wrist.
  • Effective Range 5,000 meters before energy falloff.
  • Rate of Fire: 120 discharges per minute
  • Recoil: The macro laser has little more noticeable recoil than a standard T-3 rifle.

Ammunition

  • Ammunition Macro cell
  • Purpose: T-3 Heavy Anti-Personal.
  • Round Capacity: 10 charges per macro cell.

Weapon Mechanisms

The Macro laser is a proof of concept weapons weapons platform. It has no one form and is instead the laser system installed in a weapon instead of a singular rifle or pistol.

  • Firing Mechanism: The macro laser is often electronically fired through a switch or trigger. Drawing a charge from one or many macro energy cells and discharges a beam of blue energy through a focusing lens at the end of a barrel.
  • Loading: The laser can have a single inserted battery or several linked together in a magazine like battery pack or drum. Often the case of the former in an operator employed rifle or pistol design. And a drone the latter due to an inability to use complex loading skills or having a lack of proper appendage.
  • Mode Selector: Often the macro laser will have a switch to switch between a single, burst, or automatic firing mode when installed in a rifle. But when built into a platform such as a drone or mecha will be linked to fully automatic fire.
  • Safety Mechanism: Physical safety switch or built in mechanism in the case of mecha
  • Weapon Sight: optics can be mounted via an installed optics rail on most macro laser platforms or a small targeting camera linked to mecha.
  • Attachment Hard Points: varies per platform.
