Originally designed as a tool for use in mining and construction, it was discovered this particular device was quite handy in battling the various outbreaks of Xeno-Necros. After researching the effects the energy had on the flesh of these undead monsters, it was discovered the plasma energy was in fact quite useful against all manner of undead – as long as the undead were laced with negative energy.
The shooter is a light-weight, one handed weapon which can fire either vertically or horizontally, depending on the user’s wishes. It uses a laser designator in order to make sure the wielder cuts exactly where she needs. This has been found to be quite useful when using the weapon against a living – or unliving – target.
Plasma produced by the weapon is incredibly hot and like other plasma weapons burns and causes electrical burns. This weapon has also been modified to use standard batteries, with the maximum capacity listed. Unlike most other weapons, this will inflict critical damage against undead and Xeno-necros. When it is used against Xeno-necros or other physical undead, this pure fire and electrical combination tends to rip limbs right off the target when a critical hit is achieved. Note that insubstantial undead are immune to all amputation effects. See the chart above for the wounds inflicted on Xeno-necros or undead. If used against a living or non-undead target, use the regular wound and severe wound charts.
