Offworld Weapons
What else is available when you have an entire galaxy to shop in?
The Mark X Mosin-Dobrovolsk Trans-Warp Flux Rifle
This device is not often used by Earth agents, but a few are available at Headquarters. It is similar to the tachyon splitter, where the tachyonic beam is converted to a pulse weapon. A dynamic gravitational- component space warp field is heterodyned onto the pulse. The result is that the target at the point of impact is gravitationally detached from the rest of the target (punching holes) and accelerated away at ~1500c. This creates an apparent explosion in the targeted object. It works extremely well for long- range conditions, and is stealthy up until the point where the target explodes.
There is a scaled-up cannon version rumored to be available for spacecraft.
The Gluon Suppressor Pistol
The gluon suppressor pistol was developed in the remote and somewhat exclusionary Caerarri system, where quantum chromodynamics was developed and elevated to a fine art. As a result of the system’s politics, not only are such weapons rarely encountered, but the mechanism behind their operations is not fully understood by scientists and engineers of the Coalition worlds, including Earth.
What is known is that gluon suppressor weapons, by default and by unknown mechanisms, negate the strong nuclear force in the targeted object. This negation is confined to the area of the beam strike. It is a particularly nasty form of disintegrator beam.
