Name: ACR 4-26

Affiliation: Arakyd Industries

Ownership: N/A

Intent: My intent here is to create a weapon using unique technology and to provide another method of defeating Force-wielders.

Model: Arakyd Concussion Rifle 4-26

Type: Sonic concussion rifle

Size: Heavy rifle

Composition: Durasteel and plastiod components

Range: 40 meters maximum

Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds

Description: The ACR 4-26 is a powerful sound-based weapon designed by Arakyd Industries to be a powerful close-range and crowd-control weapon. The weapon fires a powerful blast of sonic energy that, when ruptured by a physical target, explodes in a 5 meter burst of concussive sound. There are two basic fire-modes for the weapon, a disabling burst of sound similar to a flashbang or concussion grenade. The second fire mode is the aforementioned lethal setting, which releases a deadly burst of concussive sound.

Since the weapon uses explosive sound instead of normal blaster energy, it has certain advantages and disadvantages. Advantages include its ability to deal damage through rigid armors, damage solid objects, and ability to function underwater (with limited range and power). In addition, the non-lethal mode can disable Force-wielders and shots in either mode will detonate against their lightsaber. However, the weapon also has several disadvantages, including collateral damage, inability to be used in stealth, and the fact that it can harm the user in very close-range. Also, thanks to the weapon's sheer weight and complexity, it can be unwieldy at times and can be easily damaged with repeated use or just improper handling. Another large con is the weapon's slow rate of fire, requiring a second to 'charge-up' before firing and a few seconds afterward before another shot can be attempted.

Hey man! When I said you'd need to get concussion rifles approved, I meant the technology itself. Like with Grim's Particle Tech. You might be good with just having this blaster though, so i'll wait for @Kiro or @Clayton to chime in either way.

That might be the case. Again, maybe not.

yeah @Outlander is probably right, the tech needs to get approved first but if that's not the case there are a few things i see wrong with this.

first off it seems just as if not more advanced than the conc-weapons 1000 years in the future. the weapons named here all have disadvantages that so far this gun equals if not somewhat surpasses. recoil is usually an issue, weight, complexity (meaning it would most likely be temperamental) as well as reduced range and blast wave as well as ammo capacity would be more realistic for this time period as well as not make this weapon OP for the site and its users.

i think making it semi-auto if it isn't already is a good thing too, maybe just make that clear to the reader. also the two different setting is nice but some people might argue that in itself is too complex or forces this weapon to have another drawback on top of whatever the standard would be for conc weps in this time period. hope i'm not being too harsh.

Edit: i want a conc rifle anyways, gotta teach those darn force users they aren't special says the guy with two force sensitive characters.

So is this supposed to be working like the gun sonic from Minority Report?

As I said before. Stop trying to do my job.

@TheHook1 - It's similar enough to a GCW era generic Conc Rifle that we can use this as a general guide to Conc Rifles in general, so ignore @Outlander. We'll look this over.

Great!

Now can you say that in English?

I limited the ammo and added two more weaknesses, but for everything else I pretty much just tried to mimic what Wookieepedia said about conc rifles into this one version.

Yeah it's kind of difficult since all conc rifles are battle of geonosis. But blasters don't change too extensivly either over 1000 years or at least not as much as one would think so i'd assume the equivelants of other weapons would be the same.

Honestly, I just sort of copied what Wookieepedia said concussion rifles did. Apparently they launch condensed blobs of sound that explode on impact.

Well, looks like @Kiro was handling this one, so I'll let her take lead.

I'd like to see you increase it's size and weight a bit, and halve the ammo capacity, and point out that it's got a rather slow rate of fire.
