Flare
|
The flare rifle is the standard weapon of goons.
The firing mechanism is essentially a crude energy-grenade device, consisting of simple photons with an inertial enhancement on impact. The heat-shielding is of particularly simple design - ceramic barrel substrate, and allows the weapon to become red-hot if over-used (about 25 blasts in rapid succession). The discharge has no thermal shielding whatsoever, causing it to ignite whatever atmosphere it passes through - lending it the name "flare". Letting loose with one of these puppies makes a spectacular blast of flame in addition to bruising your shoulder (or ripping your shoulder off).
They also make a really good club.
