I think it'll run out of ammo in 7.5 seconds.

OOC: Stupid. How many of your troops can accurately aim so short a weapon over that distance?

Accurately when in single fire mode, and that due to the ub3r sensors I have on it, and the ammo problem yes that’s a draw back so its used in short burst or semi mode troops avoid using it in fully automatic unless really needed.

OOC: You do understand that, regardless of your 'ub3rsensors', a human hand will be required to steady the weapon? The wobble would make any degree of accuracy over that range impossible for the vast majority of infantry. I suppose you could issue them to hunter-killer droids, or whatever. They'd have servomotors to adjust to perfect balance.

*Notes that just because a weapon can stage effective damage over a given distance doesn't mean it has to actually be able to *hit* accurately*

And the 'run out of ammo' thing is no different from conventional weapons.

Mind, I've no idea what a 'pulse round' is. And using a real world weapon as picture for a supposedly futuristic weapon while at the same time using the same name 's if one is accidentally using the same series and... Stuff is just stupid.
