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.
