Sonic Disruptor

About the Sonic Disruptor

This pistol fires no bolt and no slug, only a focused burst of destructive sound that hammers the target's body and, at close range, liquefies what it hits. Sonic weapons occupy a strange niche in the galaxy's arsenals, prized on worlds and stations where a stray energy bolt might breach a hull or ignite an atmosphere, and feared for the ugly, invisible violence they deliver. The disruptor's waves ignore the deflector tricks that turn energy aside, striking with a pressure that armor struggles to blunt. Light enough for one hand, it favors close and mid-range work where the beam stays coherent, losing its bite as the sound disperses. Miners, station security, and certain assassins carry them for exactly the situations where fire and plasma are too dangerous and a quiet, brutal alternative is worth its weight.
