Particle Blaster

Particle Blasters are the standard issue energy weapon of the Cyclonian Empire's ground forces. Appearing as a metal cylinder with a focusing crystal in the barrel, the Particle Blaster projects a stream of super-heated Tibetine Gas at a speed of three hundred metres a second. The heat output of a Particle Blaster shot is enough to melt through reinforced steel compound in a matter of seconds or pierce and destroy all forms of organic tissue in one shot. Considered by the United Earth Coalition as a technological marvel of utter devastation, even the most lowly Cyclonian Warrior possesses the power to destroy fortifications with minimal effort.

Captured Particle Blasters reveal that the weapon has interfaces for attachment to Cyclonian defense matrices or to the cybernetic interfaces on a Cyclonian's arm.
