Waylani Experimental Assault Rifle
Grade:
Artifact (+)
Type:
Weapon
Proof of Acquisition:
Oddities, Post 196
Description:
A prototype assault rifle made by the Waylani Company to test an experimental weapons system that is intended to make infantry weapons more versatile. As befitting its prototype status, it is a special model that incorporates advanced technology to allow it to boast the range of conventional assault rifles despite its compact length. The assault rifle component also offers fire selector settings for Single, Three-Round Burst, and Full-Auto fire. However, the real innovation lies in a variable underslung weapons system that can switch between a shotgun and a miniature railgun for more punch at close and long ranges respectively.
By flipping a switch to choose between underslung weapons options and working the pump action before pulling the trigger, the user can fire either a blast of densely packed buckshot that hits so hard that it can temporarily immobilize living targets or a railgun that is excellent for dealing with armored targets. Either option can be used as needed, allowing the user to engage targets at most combat ranges.
Abilities:
Name: Underslung Shotgun
Rank: User Rank (Up to S)
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Immobilization
Damage: User Rank Single Target Damage + 50%
Range: User Rank Single Target Range - 25%
Speed: User Rank Single Target Speed - 25%
Duration: User Rank Max
Downside: Range and Speed are reduced by 25% in exchange for 25% more Damage. Sacrificing 1 base effect for 25% more Damage
Description: The user works the pump action on the underside of the weapon and chambers a shotgun shell, causing the barrel to glow crimson. The user then pulls the trigger and fires a cloud of buckshot in a cone pattern that is narrower than ordinary shotguns. If the target is hit, it takes User Rank Single Target Damage +50% and is immobilized for one post due to the narrow spread of the buckshot hitting the target with numerous pellets in a single blast. If this ability is recast and hits the target again, Underslung Shotgun can immobilize opponents once every other post in this manner.
Name: Underslung Railgun
Rank: User Rank (Up to A+)
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Piercing, Drain
Damage: User Rank Single Target Advanced Damage + 50%
Range: User Rank Single Target Advanced Range - 25%
Speed: User Rank Single Target Advanced Speed - 25%

Description: The user works the pump action on the underside of the weapon and chambers a railgun round, causing the barrel to glow electric blue. The user then pulls the trigger and fires a heavy round that flies at very high speeds and velocity. If the target is hit, it takes User Rank Advanced Damage +50% on the first turn and a 5% Drain to HP for every turn after for the duration of the ability. Underslung Railgun can punch through armor and magical shields, but it gives up half its base damage potential in exchange.
