    Name: Fusion Rifle

    Description: The Fusion Rifle can be done in two different methods, one powerful laser that can obliterate objects and with one blast or several smaller and weaker lasers in a small burst that increases the chance of connection but reduce the amount of damage inflicted per hit. A Fusion Rifle would normally weigh in at about 20 pounds. Laser width can range from 0.5 to 2 inches in diameter.

    Abilities: Fusion Rifles charge up when the trigger is pulled, and cool down when it's released. It must reach a sufficient charge to fire, otherwise, the Fusion Rifle will not be able to generate the positrons it uses and risk serious damage to the user. Because the rifle uses anti-matter annihilation and impact heat for most of its damage, it can effectively ignore armor not designed to defend against it, however, it does effectively nothing if the target has proper radiation and heat protection.

    Limitations:
    • Risk of serious damage to the user if not charged fully
    • Long charge up time (2 seconds minimum to fire, automatically fires at 3 to avoid overheating)
    • The rifle must wait 4+ seconds before being able to fire again (To avoid overheating)
    • Large amounts of collateral damage
    • Extremely heavy recoil, depending on the intensity of the beam/laser
    • Inaccurate ( 4 inches of inaccuracy at a 1-meter distance )
    • Armor resistant to heat can greatly nullify the effect of the Fusion Rifle

    How does it work: Using concentrated radiation, light, lasers, and heat to cut through armor and life if the beam lands. The radiation is as concentrated as possible to do maximum damage, but this does not stop collateral damage from the inaccuracy of the beams in the first place. They punch hard and can end a life in a split moment. The damage is NOT done via transfer of heat, due to the fact that positrons are completely incapable of carrying heat. Damage is done directly because of positron and electron annihilation, and indirectly in large amounts because of radiating heat due to impact friction and annihilation.

    Flavor text: Fusion Rifles are used for instantly disposing of an enemy without fear of them being able to retaliate and deal more damage than necessary. Fusion Rifles actually have their roots in CivSpace wars, before eventually being abandoned for their cruelty and collateral damage by the time Fringe space ideas and territories became commonplace.

    Attainability: Open - Anyone can make, use, or buy a Fusion Rifle(should someone know how to make it or where to buy it)

    Hard pending here. I have a few questions.

    -What kind of radiation does the weapon use?
    -How does it instantly kill what it hits?

    Keep in mind that light and lasers are the same thing, lasers do not need to be propelled like bullets too, and that heat can't be concentrated and fired on its own. Also keep in mind that laser weaponry, being a focused medium, is known for its accuracy when compared to kinetic projectiles.
    I'd recommend doing research into the nature of ionizing radiation before answering these questions.

    Radiation is probably the wrong word, as it uses positrons that it accelerates to near the speed of light, and on collision, superheating can occur which can break the bonds between atoms. I've edited the post accordingly

    Sorry for the delay! Checks out. It's a pass from me.

    Fair enough. This is passed.
