Weapon Mechanisms

  • Firing Mechanism: every shot of plasma jell is housed within a discarding plastic jacket with a alloy cap. depending on the setting of the weapon determines the level of power when fired with the “Taihō” Scalable Mass Driver
  • Loading: Loading the weapon is done by turning on the safety of the weapon and removing the cylindrical magazine. loading a new magazine however requires you to individually load 6 of the plasma gel rounds into the magazine gel side down.
  • Mode Selector: there are several setting or mode selectors located on the right and left side of the weapon along the top edges of the foregrip. once selcted by pressing down the button for five seconds the setting will change after wards pumping the shotgun will cycle the next round.
  • Firing Modes: manual pump action
  • Safety Mechanism: the black bar resembling a carry handle when lefted up to change a magazine will interupt the power flow of the mass driver allowing the weapon to be safely handled to switch out the magazine. the reasoning for such a large safty lever is so that bulky armors arnt hindered when trying to turn the safety on
