Antimatter Blister Gun

A downscaled concept designed in YE 43 by Nepleslian Arms and Munitions around the Nepleslian Antimatter Blaster starship-grade weapon, the blister gun is a weapons concept designed for use in the NAM Terratech Multi-Role Cavalry Armor-"Nomad" powered armor frame but is designed to be used as a possible weapons platform for any weapon platform that uses a NAM Antimatter Battery as a powersource.

The blister gun sports a high rate of fire that propels antimatter packets at an impressive rate of fire and damage against armored targets ranging from infantry to light-powered armor or vehicles.

About the Blister Gun

Designed by Director "Adept" of NAM, The blister gun is a powered-armor grade weapons system developed to send low density but high yield antimatter packets at a considerable rate of fire at impressive distances with a staggering rate of fire. The system was designed to be used in tandem with NAM antimatter batteries] as a source of not only power but also as an ammunition source to enable the weapon to continue firing so long as the batteries have power.

Unlike its starship-grade platform, the blister-gun does not deliver explosive or nuclear force or even an EMP. But instead destroys matter at a molecular scale upon impact, causing micro implosions of matter.

Nomenclature Information

Appearance

The blister gun, being a weapons system and not a standalone weapon itself has no one true form. It requires no paticular barrel length or muzzle design unless range and/or accuracy is preferred. It can be scaled into any platform that an NAM Antimatter Battery can be installed in from handheld weaponry to powered armor or vehicle-based weapons.

Discharge Information

  • Muzzle Flash: Black and white entropic energy discharge from the weapon like a small muzzle blast.
  • Retort: Flat slapping not unlike two boards of wood hitting one another flat.
  • Projectile/Beam Appearance: A black oblong shape with a faint white glow while traveling towards a target.
  • Effective Range: Variable, 100m-5,000m
  • Rate of Fire: 950rpm
  • Recoil: Variable.
  • Damage: Destroys matter at a molecular level, imploding it upon impact and leaving damage not unlike a small cone of missing matter large enough to fit two of an average man's fingers inside of and just as deep on armor. Against flesh the blister gun can/will leave a fist-sized hole in a target all the way through the target but will not penetrate to other targets after impact.

Energy Source

Nomad Blister Gun.

One platform of the blister gun is an option of being installed in is the NAM Terratech Multi-Role Cavalry Armor-"Nomad" powered armor frame. Installable as an option in its chest hardpoint.
