ESPO 500 Riot Gun

About the ESPO 500 Riot Gun

Issued to the corporate and municipal police forces that keep order on crowded worlds, the ESPO 500 riot gun is a crowd-control weapon first and a killing tool second, built around a heavy stun capacity meant to break up disturbances without a bloodbath. Its stun setting can put a mob of troublemakers on the ground, while the lethal mode remains available when a riot turns into something worse. Bulky and two-handed, it projects the blunt authority of a security state, the sort of weapon whose mere appearance is meant to make a crowd think twice. Rank-and-file enforcers, private security contractors, and station peacekeepers carry them for the way they balance intimidation with restraint. It is not a soldier's rifle but an instrument of order, designed to dominate a street or a concourse and remind everyone present exactly who holds the monopoly on force.
