The LCP1100 is basically a man portable version of mecha based laser weapons, and usually fired from the hip. Although heavy, and a slow rate of fire, and range isn't that impressive, it does have a solid frame, reliable and packs a hell of a punch. Another drawback of the LCP1100 is its limited payload from standard power packs, but this is offset by the use of a power backpack, or if its mounted on a vehicle and tied into its power systems.Model LCP1100 (PL6 Heavy Weapon)Damage: 7d6Critical: 20Damage Type: Fire Range Increment: 80 ft.Rate of Fire: SingleSize: Large, just barely under huge. Weight: 31 lbsAmmo: 5 boxPurchase: PDC32 +3 MilitaryGame Notes: Due to simple and robust construction, reduces repair checks by 3. A minimum strength of 15 is needed to wield the LCP1100, unless mounted on a tripod, take a -2 to attack rolls. [HR][/HR]HP LRC2100The LR2100 is the descendant of the older LCP1100 laser cannon, scaled down into a more manageable rifle size for infantry of the future. A little larger than the older LR100, but with a more aggressive body styling, reliable systems and tough construction, makes it a welcomed addition to any soldiers arsenal. HP also released a number of addons similar to these used by the LR100, unfortunately the ones for the old LR100 are not compatible except the under barrel plasma ejector and heavy clip buttstock. Some people consider it a small cannon, due to its high damage and armour piercing capabilities, but most soldiers find it's not much different from a heavy battle rifle. The only flaw in the design is its a bit of a power hog, draining more energy per shot from a standard power pack than most battle rifles, but again the ability to pierce armour seems more favourable over how many shots per pack its lacking.LRC2100 (PL7 Personal Firearms Proficiency) Damage: 6d6, ignores 5 points of hardnessCritical: 20Damage Type: FireRange Increment: 95 ftRate of Fire: S, ASize: LargeWeight: 12.5 lbsAmmo: 25 boxPurchase: 25 Mil (+3)Note: The LRC2100 can use the same heavy clip buttstock as the LR100, which only provides half the number of extra shots of the LR100, which is an extra 50 for the LRC2100. Can also make use of the HP 410PP which gives 75 rounds.The LRC2100 is also usable underwater with a flick of the switch to a different frequency which isn't affected by water, however range is reduced by 20 ft but no loss in damage or armour penetrating capability. Has universal mounts on the top, sides and bottom for scopes, under barrel attachments, and lights and laser range finders for the sides. Heavy Clip Buttstock Mk2This is an upgraded version of the original version found on the older LR100. Compatible with older HP LR line of weapons, and even has parts to attach to HP laser pistols and also the LCP1100. Adds 3.5 lbs to the weight of the weapon. This battery increases the ammo capacity by another 75 rounds for the LRC2100, 150 for older HP LR rifles and pistols, and 75 for the LCP1100. Recharges at a rate of 2 round every minute, begins recharging when not in use after 2 rounds. Has a 7 year lifespan before needing to be sent in for an overhaul. The DC to install this add-on is 16 with instructions, 19 without them. This feature CAN be used in conjunction with any of the other options. PDC 14.Scatter-Laser Mk2This conversion adds what looks like a round-tipped air-cooled muzzle or perforated silencer to the end of the muzzle. This add-on breaks the pulse down into many smaller pulses spreading outward from the barrel, reduced in power but covering a larger area. Unfortunately it also loses the armour piercing ability. The Mk2 is a little slimmer than the original version, plus 1.5 inches shorter. Fires many laser pulses out into a cone 50 ft long, 25 ft wide at the end, dealing 4d6 damage, Reflex save 20 for half. PDC 13, weighs 2 lbs. Can not be used with Range Booster Mk2 or Siege Breaker.Range Booster Module Mk2This is an upgraded version of the original, and although it reduces damage a bit, it actually retains the armour piercing ability of the weapon. Range changes to 225 ft, damage reduced to 4d6, but still ignores 5 points of hardness. PDC 14 and weighs 2.1 lbs. It is compatible with older HP weapons. For older weapons like the LR100 damage is reduced to 2d8, but range is increased to a staggering 300 ft, and gains ignore 2 points of hardness/DR from the improved focusing crystals in the newer model. This has made the older LR100 popular amongst many sharp shooters as it makes for a far cheaper, and quite reliable sniper rifle. Can not be used with Scatter-Laser Mk2 or Siege Breaker.Siege Breaker ModuleThe siege breaker module is an upgrade of the older LasCannon upgrade. Using special zero-g grown crystals, new power regulating protocols and focusing chamber, turns the LRC2100 into a weapon that many tank crews highly fear, and rightfully so. Damage drops to 4d6, but its ability to penetrate armour increases to a staggering ignore 20 hardness/DR, but range drops to 45 ft. Uses 3 rounds per shot, and imposes a -1 to attacks due to the recoil of the discharge of photons and similar particles. PDC 16 Mil (+3), weighs 5 lbs. Not compatible with older HP weapons. Can not be used with Scatter-Laser Mk2 or Range Booster Mk2.[HR][/HR]HP 340PPTo overcome the limited payload of the LCP1100, HP developed a power backpack unit to give it greater payload. The 340PP is essentially a large battery that one straps to their back, with a heavy, well shielded and tough cable that connects to the LCP1100, and is about the size of two shoe boxes side by side running up the back. With conforming padding and even a cooling system to keep the pack's heat while in use from bothering the user. As an additional bonus, besides just acting as a larger power pack, the 340PP will also recharge itself over time to replenish the payload. The cable plugs into where a normal power pack would fit in the top of the butt of the weapon.Acts as a 50 round ammo box for the LCP1100Recharges at a rate of 1 round every 10 minutes after not being used for at least 2 rounds. Has a 5 year lifespan before needing to be sent in for an overhaul.Has 20 HP, hardness of 5, the cable has 10 HP with hardness of 5 as well. Weight: 8 lbs. Size: SmallPDC 18 (+2 Restricted)HP 410PPUsing the lessons used in creating the 340PP for the LCP1100, HP created a smaller power pack for use with its other weapons. Being half the size, and with a faster recharge time, the 410PP allows soldiers to use their HP weapons far longer before having to think about slapping in a standard power pack to keep fighting. As an added bonus, the 410PP can also be added to many standard armours to help protect it, cutting back on carrying space. The 410PP plugs into a port on the back of the weapon (all HP weapons released after the introduction of the 410PP come standard with this port, a kit is available with the 410PP to add the port to older weapons) which still allows the weapon to use a normal power pack first before switching to the 410PP. The 410PP can NOT recharge power packs plugged into the weapon, and will not feed the weapon until the power pack is depleted. Standard practice for most is to carry two power packs, one in the weapon, once it runs out, use the 410PP until it runs out, switch to the second power pack if necessary to allow the 410PP to recharge. Acts as a 150 round ammo box for all HP laser weapons except the LCP1100 and PD250.Recharges at a rate of 1 round every minute, begins recharging when not in use after 2 rounds. Has a 5 year lifespan before needing to be sent in for an overhaul.Has 10 HP, hardness of 3, cable has 10 HP, hardness of 5.Size: TinyWeight: 2.1 lbsComes with kit to make necessary modifications to add port to all HP laser weapons except the LCP1100 and PD250.
