SA-21 "Sunspear" Heavy Blaster Pistol

[Kiro]

Affiliation: Sentinel Arms, an Edemmian company. Sold on the open market within the Republic.

Ownership: Zae Tannarah.

Intent: To introduce an Edemmian-designed weapon, that is available for anyone to use, as well as making a semi-generic heavy blaster pistol for the timeline, as we currently only have a regular pistol from Czerka, and a "Medium" blaster pistol. This is meant to be the DL-44 of the current timeline.

Model: SA-21 "Sunspear" Heavy Blaster.

Type: Heavy Blaster Pistol.

Size: Large pistol.

Composition: Dallorian alloy, durasteel.

Range: 37.3 meters; optimum. 92.7 meters; maximum.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

Description: The SA-21 "Sunspear" Heavy Blaster Pistol is a typical product of Sentinel Arms, and closely reflects Edemmian design. It's sleek, with a combination of gentle, sweeping lines and bold curves, with few hard edges, with a clean and elegant exterior casing of polished dallorian alloy. Using a power cell that's interchangeable with any major galactic brands, like BlasTech, Arakyd, or SoroSuub, and an equally interchangeable blaster gas canister, the basic operations of the Sunspear is similar enough to regular blaster pistols. Where it differs, however, is in firepower and ammunition capacity.

The Sunspear is, quite frankly, an ammo hog. With only six rounds before requiring a fresh power cell, the weapon has a terrible ammunition consumption compared to weapons like the Czerka BP01, or the CMBP-12. But where these weapons carry more ammunition, the Sunspear makes up for it in stopping power, possessing more than twice the energy per shot than a BP01, and is more comparable to a blaster rifle in terms of bolt strength.

However, giving a pistol that much power per shot presents it's own problems, and in the case of the Sunspear, it means that it's prone to overheating, especially during intense firefights. Sentinel Arms decided to combat this in two ways, with the first and most obvious being the fact that the pistols' composition is heavily made up of dallorian alloy, an exceptionally heat resistant metal. The second was including a coolant chamber underneath the main barrel, as indicated by the long blue line, which incidentally turns bright red when it's spent, giving the user a clear warning that the gun is now quite dangerous to fire. In this case, the pistol's low ammunition capacity works in it's favour, giving it time to cool off somewhat while it's being reloaded.

I know next to nothing about tech, so I'll just say this... damn that's a nice lookin' pistol.

I need one. Or four.

probably not enjoyed by the species with larger hands such as trandos. it's pretty sleek looking though if my character got it they would probably file off the back end of the handle where the thumb guard is for easier draw. over all i like this and design as well as the stats.

@Clayton Is this still approved with the new guidelines ?

 

[Clayton]

Yeah, guidelines touched very little on weapons.
