Default [Pyramid #3/37] The Sith & Wesson Family of Blasters

"Feel the power of the Dark Side in your hands!" -- Sith & Wesson Company Slogan.


I've been fiddling around with the "Blaster and Laser Design" system for my space opera setting, and I believe I've come up with a decent array of blasters for PCs to get their hands on.

Code:

Notes:
[1] HUD Link (Sees distance to target; Ultra-Tech, p. 149)
[2] Compact Targeting Scope (gives +3 to Acc, Hyperspectral Vision, and 8× magnification; Acc bonus, weight, and cost already factored on stat line; Ultra-Tech, p.* 149)
[3] Enhanced Targeting Scope (gives +4 to Acc, Hyperspectral Vision with Tunnel Vision, and 16× magnification; Acc bonus, weight, and cost already factored on stat line; Ultra-Tech, p.* 149)
[4] Designed to use superscience power cells, which multiplies Shots by 5.

A few design notes:

The Heavy Blaster Pistol was built with a Small rather than Medium Focal Array, as the intent was to have more damage at a closer range than the standard Blaster Pistol.
Wrist Blaster was built as a "Beamer"; I haven't yet factored in the cost or weight of the wrist/forearm mounting. It and the Holdout Blaster are built with a Very Small Focal Array.

The two new specialties for Beam Weapons are defined as such:

Squad Support Weapon: Any beam weapon capable of automatic fire designed to be fired "from the hip" or from a bipod/tripod rather than from a standard rifle position, usually used in a manner akin to Guns (Light Machine Gun).

Wrist Gun: Any beam weapon designed to be fired while strapped to the wrist or forearm.



To be honest, I'm not sure what role the Light Blaster Cannon would play; the Heavy Repeating Blaster is the HMG of the blasters.

So, thoughts? Things I might have missed?
