Disruptor Rifle

About the Disruptor Rifle

The disruptor rifle takes the outlawed horror of molecular-disintegration technology and gives it range, letting a wielder unmake a target from across a battlefield in the same shimmering, bodiless death the pistol delivers up close. There is no cover from the terror it inspires and no wounding with it, only annihilation, which is why the weapon is banned in nearly every jurisdiction and why carrying one openly is an invitation to be shot on sight. Assassins, warlords, and the most notorious bounty hunters use them anyway, accepting the notoriety for the certainty. The rifles run hot, strain their powerpacks, and are miserably difficult to source or maintain, but a professional who lands a clean shot needs only one. Few weapons in the galaxy are more feared, and fewer still leave so little behind for anyone to identify.
