Had some fun designing sci-fi weapons. Click for better detail.
Hope Federation “Glowrym” Laser Carbine: A high powered laser weapon used by mid rank Federation soldiers. It gains it’s nickname due to the two fusion breakers that glow bright yellow when it overheats. Good at medium to long range, can punch holes through solid steel with ease.
Gzherme Tactical Scatter Gun: A heavy duty laser scatter gun used by mercenary squadrons or bounty hunters. It has been banned for civilian use, due to how easily it can damage spaceship hulls. It fires white hot plasma propelled by electromagnetic waves. It can be fired blind in a blast, or locked onto to metal targets for a concentrated spray. Since it homes in on metal targets and burns through armor, it is a favored weapon against robots and androids.
Improvised Ray Slinger: A crude pipe weapon that shoots a short beam of concentrated energy. It is easy to make and surprisingly effective. It can blast holes in most armor and is a favored weapon of revolutionaries across the galaxy. It’s major drawback is how quickly it can drain batteries and a lack of standardized parts.
Antique ‘Owens’ Wave Blaster: A classic design from the renowned gunsmith Adijer Owen. The delicate clockwork and focused lenses allow for quick bursts of non-lethal energy waves. While it only has a short range it is hard to miss as the wave rings spread quickly and incapacitate targets quickly. Has not been fired in years and may no longer work.
Magnon Orbit Gun: A rare weapon from the Magnon forges, this gun uses a portable gravity well to shoot powerful rays of crushing gravity. On lower settings it can stun targets with its weaponized gravity, and on higher settings it can crush targets into powder upon contact. This weapon takes a lot of effort to maintain since the gravity well warps the materials with time.
Yertech “Needle” Splinter Pistol: The standard issue sidearm of the Grand Ring Peacekeepers. It fires bolts of concentrated electricity that incapacitate targets and burn on contact. Being hit with a bolt from a Splinter Pistol feels like the sting of a massive insect, but they are very rarely lethal.
