Support Phaser

Support Phaser

A support Phaser The Support Phaser consists of two units, the power pack (inserted beneath a barrel in front of the trigger) and the phaser. It is capable of pulse fire at a higher rate than the Marine phaser rifle, due to sturdier coils and to better integral cooling systems. The Support Phaser is a powerful anti-vehicular weapon, and against set targets like bunkers and fortifications. It also performs well as a long range sniper weapon. STATISTICAL INFORMATION: 1. Barrel Diameter: 5 cm~2 in 2. Weapon Length: 107.7cm~ 42.4 in 3. Weight: 9.1kg~20lbs (loaded), 6.8kg~15 lbs Total energy reserve: 30x10^8 megajoules in hotswappable sarium-krellide pack Power Pack Weight-. 2.3kg~5lbs Outlets for external power supply on butt of Phaser and and base of grip. Power settings: Power settings: 1-18 operatable by press buttons on the control panel, or with Pallas Helmet. (Setting visible on the handle as a numbered and colored lights) FIRING MODES: Changed with the control button on the control panel, or by optical/verbal commands through the Pallas Helmet. Single - as in any other phaser weapon, one shot per pull of trigger. Sustained - A sustained beam or stream, useful for cutting through obstacles down or wearing down force fields or the target's resistance. Activated by holding the trigger down after firing. Pulse - capable of firing up to 30 'pulses' of energy within a second. Burstfire coils store energy in a similar way to the phaser cannon charging all the coils with the energy for the imminent firing. Coils cannot hold the energy indefinitely and the energy is let to radiate' out of the coils to avoid overload. This reduces the life span of the energy pack by some 34%-45% and causes the coils to glow with visible light and warmth and emit hums ranging from 40-70 decibels limiting its use mainly to battlefield conditions. There is a delay of a 0.02 seconds between pulses allowing the firer to 'walk the fire' between targets or 'hose' moving targets. Randomization - The Support Phaser comes with integral frequency variation circuitry, which can be activated regardless of the type of fire. TARGETING The Support Phaser utilizes a similar red-dot targeter and scope unit as the pistol, but also built in to the can mount, or accept telemetry from Taccorder unit. Targeting data from is displayed on the Pallas Helmet VISOR, The taccorder can be adjusted and operated by hand but it has been found more efficient and faster to use pupil tracking and voice commands in battle conditions. MAINTENANCE: Cooling mechanism checks after prolonged use are suggested, as well as regular scans for phase coil integrity.
