[QUOTE="kronos182, post: 6790788, member: 6668634"] Crystal Works Crystal Works is an old company, specializing in optics, lenses and of course crystals, producing some of the best equipment available. Crystal works started by growing crystals in orbital facilities for use in lenses and research in crystalline computer memory systems. With years of success and expanding into other fields, they eventually started mining crystals found on other planets or asteroids. With the discovery of one particular system, which had crystals of various types and sizes. One of the major discoveries from this system, besides the unusual amount of crystals, was the fact that many of the crystals had an extremely high piezoelectric properties. This allowed Crystal Works to create even more devices including power generators that were far cheaper and cleaner than conventional ones. Crystal Works has taken advantage of these high piezoelectric crystals, and created new ones of their own design, to expand into power generation and energy weapons. Their other products are still top of the line and highly sought after, even with their higher price tags. Although they do produce some fairly cheap, but well made energy weapons. CW1 Crystal Works first, and most successful entry into energy weapons. A very simplistic design, consisting of a handle and a tube attached with a trigger and an opening at the end of the barrel where the emitter is. Inside this simple shell is a large crystal and less than a half dozen moving parts, including the trigger, hammer, spring and safety. The CW1 works on piezoelectric principles, creating a simple, easy to maintain, and doesn't require a power pack. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes the crystal, which creates an incredible amount of electrical energy, which is transferred into the emitter, then ejected in a small electrical pulse to strike at a target. As it doesn't require a power pack, the CW1 is a favourite weapon for those who need a weapon but can't spare space or weight for ammunition, all one needs is the weapon, as it generates its own power internally. The crystal inside is good for about 20000 shots before it should be serviced and a possible crystal replacement is needed. Although damage isn't high, the simplicity and advantage of the design makes training incredibly simple, and the weapon well liked by many. CW1 (PL6 Personal Firearms Proficiency) Damage: 3d4 Critical: 20 Damage Type: Electrical Range Increment: 35 ft Rate of Fire: S Size: Tiny Weight: 2 lb Ammo: - Purchase DC: 14 (Lic +1) Notes: Does not require a power pack as the crystal inside generates enough energy to fire each time the trigger is pulled.
