Starfinder: SCAF Shotgun
After a few days break, here is a new Shotgun conversion from the excellent game series Dead Space.
Introduced nearly at the same time as the new T-800 Infiltrator Terminators, the M-27 became the standard weapon used by Skynet’s forces on the battlefield.
Based on theoretical designs that were discovered by the AI known as Skynet, the Westinghouse M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle went through a large number of changes and modifications before at long last the final model was put into production. It is a plasma-based weapon, which can burn through most types of armor. The bullpup configuration allows for a larger magazine capacity (taking two 80 charge power cells at a time), and the weapon is quite heavy and difficult for most human’s to wield, although this is not an issue for the Skynet forces.
The weapon was designed to send heavy firepower downrange, and each pull of the trigger would send a burst of intense purple, which could blow a human-body apart. Few could survive the wounds inflicted by these weapons. Often the weapon would cause combustible materials to burst into flame, which could spell the doom of the hapless soul who happened to be struck by a glancing blow.

Burst Fire
This is an optional rule which allows the shooter to fire a single ‘burst’ of rounds. The average burst is usually 3 rounds or charges (depending on the usage of the weapon in question) per pull of the trigger. Firing a burst incurs a penalty of -2 to hit, but the damage of the attack is increased by 25% (round down). This consumes the equivalent of 3 full shots (rounds or charges, so that if the weapon would use 4 rounds or charges for a single shot, using it on burst fire will now consume 12 charges). The burst will affect only a single target.

Special Abilities
Detailed anatomy files (Ex): The Terminator has detailed files of humanoid anatomy. As a result, it automatically gains a damage bonus equal to half the Terminators CR rating (rounded down). Also anytime the Terminator gains a critical hit, any DC save increases by +2.
Hyper-Alloy combat chassis (Ex): The skeletal structure of the terminator is constructed of a special alloy, making it very strong and resistant to damage. As a result, the terminator gains a DR / - equal to its CR against all physical attacks. Futher more, the terminator gains a +2 to all Fort saves.
Infiltrator (Ex): The exterior of the T-800 is living tissue. It can be healed using medicine, and appears completely human. As a result, the Terminator gains a +10 to disguise checks when attempting to infiltrate. As the Terminator takes damage, the flesh will suffer. Once the terminator has taken 50 points of damage, the flesh has been utterly eliminated. As long as at least one hit point of flesh remains, it can heal naturally through medicine or 5 points per 24 hour period; otherwise it can be regrown at a Skynet facility. Obviously if the flesh is destroyed or heavily damaged, the true nature of the Terminator is quite obvious. For every 10 points of ‘flesh’ damage the terminator has suffered, it gains a -2 to the disguise check to pass as human.
Will not stop (Ex): When the terminator reaches zero hit points, it automatically ‘heals’ 20 points of damage on its next turn. This allows the terminator to continue to fight, although this can only be used once. After the additional hit points have been lost, the Terminator is destroyed.

Caseless ammunition costs 1.5 times the cost of regular ammunition, but doubles the number of small arm, rifle, sniper and heavy rounds the weapon carries. This can be combined with any of the various types of ammunition. |
|
Solid Slug |
3 |
X7 |
Instead of the standard pellet ammunition, the shell contains a solid slug. This increases the damage by +1 per dice, as well as increases the knockdown DC +2. Finally when used for breaching or other similar effects, the weapon is considered to be 5 levels higher. |

When used against unarmored targets, the weapon does +1 per dice damage, but against armored targets with DR, the DR is increased by 50%. |
|
Radioactive |
10 |
X7 or x12 |
The cartridge contains a solid slug, which is filled with radioactive dust. It can only be combined with solid slug rounds. Anyone struck by the round must save versus medium (x7 cost) radiation or high radiation (x12 cost). |
