The Mark IV Tachyon Splitter Rifle
The Mark IV is the latest version of this rifle, first developed on Emdali. This is one of the more common weapons in use by the Agency; it is utilized when higher power and/ or longer distances are needed than can be had from the proto- cyclotron blaster. The rifle configuration allows for a larger power pack and considerably more energy, as well as increased lifetime and targeting capability at longer distances.
It initially produces the tachyons near the speed of light, then feeds them into a resonator, which basically acts as a tachyon laser, and is highly disruptive. Some disruptions can be highly explosive in nature, depending on the materials targeted.
