(No Pictures) Scrambler Rifle
The scrambler rifle is a selective-fire weapon capable of semi-automatic and charged fire. Each shot produces a pulse of sinuous energy capable of penetrating shield and metal. By keeping pressure on the trigger, the operator can control the power of each discharge, scaling it to produce an intense pulse of energy fatal to soft targets.
The added power output does come with downsides, most notably increased heat build-up; left unmanaged, thermal stresses age the focusing crystal prematurely, resulting in splintering and potentially lethal feedback. Despite this and several other issues GÇô increased heft, poor reliability, and high manufacturing cost GÇô the scrambler rifle is widely available and in service on battlefields clusterwide.
Variants Normal & Assault
Plasma Cannon
The plasma cannon is a single-shot, direct-fire weapon developed by Allotek Industries primarily for use in urban operations and confined space combat. The dense plasma discharge it generates is highly unstable, decaying rapidly and venting sufficient heat and energy to severely damage targets caught within its critical emission radius.
During the short pre-fire charge, ultracold plasma is prepared and then heated inside a magneto-core trap. Just prior to discharge, a small precursor projectile is fired that produces (and is ultimately consumed by) a short-lived trail that helps guide and contain the volatile discharge as it travels towards its target.
Flaylock Pistol
The flaylock is a snub-nosed pistol designed to fire one-inch direct attack missiles. Typically, the weapon is armed with pack-loaded dumbfire or seeker missiles effective against infantry and armored targets, but is fully compatible with a broad range of missile types, making it one of the most versatile sidearm weapons on the battlefield.
Seeker missiles utilize pre-launch lock-on and rudimentary self-guidance to track designated targets, though finite propellant limits the practical engagement zone to short ranges. Although less effective against shielded targets, the tandem warhead allows penetration of armor layers before detonation, amplifying the effectiveness of the narrow fragment stream and maximizing each projectileGÇÖs lethality. |

I would be very scared of plasma going from cold to hot based on how gas currently works. |

From the looks and sounds of it, shields and armor tanks will be far more distinctive next build since we have all four races available.
Gallanete and Amarr Assaults will be far tougher to kill with a scrambler rifle while it will tear the ever so loving crap out of Minmatar and Caldari Assault suits. |

No not this build.
Its on the Todo list. |

No this is how most plasma weaponry has to work, you have to the bottle up all that plasma to have it contained and we have found out magnetism are best at this. However the larger the bubble the harder it is to maintain it. So in really large shots you need to have a means of keeping the bubble stable as it travels hence precursor. Think of it as the armor penetration tip of a warhead. |
