Description
F Particle Emitters, or F-Beamers, are the primary weapon of the DODs forces. They are energy weapons that come in three sizes, ie, personal, vehicle and space-ship, and have three settings, ie, cluster, precision and atomic. All three sizes function basically the same, though power output is obviously different, and have have a number of properties in common. For example, F Particles count as Fricking Lazer Beams, so are visible from the side and can be dodged by the appropriately adept.
The different settings will now be described.
Cluster
This is the lowest setting. It fires a mass of low yield bolts at a very high rate. Also, accuracy is low as each shot scatters of at a random angle of up to 30 degrees. However, the power setting is so low this setting can be maintained indefinitely.
These factors mean the Cluster setting is useful against either un-armoured, civilian targets, or in providing suppressing fire against non-elite/heavily armoured troops.
Precision
The mid range setting. It fires a single, concentrated burst of F Particles, thus having greater accuracy and power than the Cluster setting. However, after each shot the weapons needs a minute, at least, recharge time.
The Precision setting is generally used against light to moderately armoured targets or for sniping.
Atomic
The most powerful setting. Rather than firing a cluster of small bolts or a single precise beam, the Atomic setting launches a wave of destruction. Unfortunately, not only is there a recharge time afterwards, for several minutes, but the Emitters must power up for a minute before firing.
Atomic is only really useful for slow moving, very heavily armoured targets or for destroying fortifications.
