It's Back

The wonderful thing that is "Create-a-Weapon is back! Here's all the wonderful new toys* I've come up based on requests:

• VTD XS2221 VarG MCS-88 "Windcutter"

  The VarG MCS-88 (Molecular Control System), nicknamed the Windcutter -- it's a bodysuit built of a mesh of polymers and light-weight alloys. It isn't designed to protect the user as it is to affect and charge molecular field states. It is similar in design to the XS2201 GIM41 and XS2205 FMD64, but isn't even capable of what those two weapons can do. Instead, the molecules excited form a coherent matrix. Generally air molecules (Nitrogen, Oxygen), are compressed within a force-field and accelerated toward a specific target. The Windcutter can do this with any loose molecules, air, dirt, sand. Useful, but it lacks the power to keep going after a small number of uses.

• VTD XS2223 SMW-01 "Cricket"

  The Cricket: it is a small, bladed weapon approximately two feet in length. Designed for general purpose, it has a small control and power unit in the hilt. When the blade is "turned on", it is capable of five-thousand vibrations a second. These vibrations travel along the length of the blade making it capable of cutting through nearly any substance. Assassins have since begun using it, and although it makes for having to get close to a target, it insures death through dismemberment easily. The reason it is called the Cricket, however, is due to the sonic vibrations themselves. When turned on, the unit sounds like a Cricket chirping at a somewhat high speed, although in a subdued tone.

• TD XS2225 Xin Yao SD20

  The Xin Yao -- it is a weapon designed to use overpressure detonation-style sonic waves as a weapon. It does this by using a specially designed high-yield explosive fired from an specialized assault right. The chambered rounds are similar in size to that of a twelve-gage slug. Each slug contains both an advanced sonic emitter in conjunction with the explosive. Upon reaching a minimum safe distance from the weapon (generally fifteen meters), both the sonic emitter and explosive fire. The shockwave is mostly supported by the exothermic reaction of the shaped charge, with the sonic emitter acting to create an artificial expansion fan that makes the wave front largely self-propagating up to a certain distance until the initial energy is spent; usually a hundred to two hundred meters. The wave front causes an increase in air pressure, temperature and density of flow in the medium used (atmosphere or liquid): essentially it makes an invisible, expanding fist in the air capable of destroying vehicles or buildings, and more than able to kill living creatures. Blast speed has been measured up to 5.2 times the speed of sound, roughly 1,800 m/s.

Note, all these weapons are fictitious.
