Default The Caster Gun (Outlaw Star)

What kind of damage does the Caster Gun from Outlaw Star do? Crushing with the Cosmic modifier? Corrosion with the Cosmic modifier?

I think it has a high "Costs Fatigue" Limitation on the higher damaging shells.

But, it is certainly a Unique Gadget in any event.

Depends in the shell being used. Frex, one of the shells (forgot the numbers) looked a lot like an implosion grenade effect or a vortex grenade effect from UT.

Personally, I'd draw up a list of ammo types, each with different effects and damage. As for actual damage numbers? I'd put it in the 6d range easily with a nice armor divisor or just straight up Cosmic modifier.

Also remember that casters seemed able to cancel out each others' effects.

The most powerful one was a mini black-hole.

Which is an Implosion warhead from UT for all practical purposes.

If using UT it's a 25mm single-shot grenade launcher with at least half of the warheads being techno-magic.

I'll have to actually watch the series again to find out what each shell does. So far, I haven't found an online resource that has consistently and comprehensively cataloged them.

I don't recall the series explaining ALL of them, but you should be able to find the ones used. The rest is up to your creativity :)
