The Capsule Corporation has been experimenting with infantry weapon designs for some time now, and is now beginning to mass produce. Many of these weapons are meant for Special forces, and are equipped with full CC sensor packages, including a magnifying scope, Infrared, Thermal, S-Scanners, wide-band electromagnetic, and laser vibration sensors (duals as a sight).

RFB-7 Light Repeating Farad Beam Weapon

Ammunition: Magazine of 12 Mk. VII Farad Capacitor rounds that store energy ready to be fired at any time.
Recharge Time: The weapon can be fired almost indefinately because the capacitors recharge by the time all 12 'rounds' are used.
Firing Rate: 500 Shots per minute
Firing force: Speed and force similar to your average submachine gun, but has energy properties instead of kinetic properties.
Alternate Fire Mode: May fire all capacitors at once, creating a powerful force that will vaporize a large hole in almost anything unshielded.
Effective Range: 50 meters (normal fire mode), 1200 meters (alternate fire mode)
Power Source: Small Chlorophusion Control Chamber
Has magnetic clamp to allow it to clip onto a special back holster.
Full Sensors package mounted.
price: 3250 USD


These are just the first weapons we have available. Expect a heavy Farad staff weapon soon. Go ahead and place orders here.

A gauss shotgun? That would last about three shots before it ran out of juice. Not to mention it would be cheaper to use a conventional shotgun. And the beam weapon is just silly.

Just because you have the technology, doesn't mean you should use it. An AK-47 will kill you just as dead as a laser beam. Energy weapons are more suited for vehicles.

And how do you figure 3 shots? These weapons do not "Run out of juice" like an alkaline battery or something... it's basically a mini fusion reactor.

Well, in the post it clearly uses the word "battery". That would imply that it holds a certain amount of electricity that gets used up by the weapon, and then the battery is either replaced or thrown out.

Still, the weapon uses ammunition so having an unlimited power source on it doesn't do much. It won't do much once the ammunition's used, except make the gun slightly heavier. Again, a conventional shotgun would do the same job just as well, for a much cheaper cost.

And the conventional shotgun doesn't have the same firing force.

It'd be better if the kenetic energy from a gauss rifle was behind a single projectile, for greater penetration force. The shotgun would spread out and dissipate the energy. It'd be more powerful when the pellets are closer together. That's why they're close-range weapons. It may be slightly more powerful than a regular shotgun, but nothing impressive. But that's up to you if you want a shotgun. Personally, I'd use a rifle.

If you could make FARAD pistols, we'd make them our main weapon for guards and stuff.

Bender- I thought I mentioned you could fire slugs... if I didn't I'll change that... slipped off my mind.

IP- We're working on it.
