Shockwave

The Shockwave series from Sounds of Silence Inc. used high pitches and large amounts of sound to cause destruction. The following are devices schedule for the Spring quarter of 2054.

NOTE - All shock weapons have a special attribute, their Structure, which tells how prone they are to their own damage caused by use.
NOTE - All shock weapons create a low droning noise, which can last for 5 seconds after the device has been deactivated. When activated, they create a very loud noise, about 1.5x the sound of normal gun fire.

Guns

NOTE - All guns require a complex action, and all are single shot weaponry.

SW-30
This pistol uses a focused wave of vibration in the air, and is sent to it's target. Any ballistic armor whatsoever will fully absorb all damage. The weapon has an energy chip, which allows it to hold up to 12 charges, and recharging takes about 5 minutes per charge by plugging the clip into a standard electrical socket.

The basic shockwave weapon, the SW-30 is featured without a clip.

The SW-33 rings are held in place by strong magnetic field.

SW-33 Security Control
The shotgun style weapon is more used by law enforcement agencies to stun it's target. Every successful hit will degrade armor by 1 point (take away from impact, then from ballistic). All damage caused by the pistol will be stun damage. It has it's own choke, ranging from 1 to 10 meters, and has no power penalties for it's choke.

SW-99
The rifle shockwave is the primary weapon to do damage on a job. It has both stun and kill settings, and can fire a continuous wave of sound (but a to hit test must still be made each round). It has an energy clip, which holds 10 charges. The clip is interchangeable with all the other shockwave guns.

SW-1000
This bazooka shockwave weapon requires the backpack energy unit for use. It is a shoulder mounted weapon designed for anti-vehicle attacks.

Accessories

Backpack Energy Unit
The backpack add on is a 10 kilogram backpack which can store an extra 50 charges for a normal shockwave weapon, or 10 bazooka charges. Any damage to it's compact design could give the wearer a fatal (12D) shock, based on it's rating (Test against target number of power of weapon hit).

The SW-Energy Pack can also be used for other electrical power needs.

Shockwave Energy Clip
This is the standard shockwave energy clip that is useable in the SW-30, 33, and 99 models. Depending on the weapon, it holds a various amount of charges. It takes about 1 hour to recharge fully.

Explosives
Shockwave Gernade
Relativly cheap to manufacture, shockwave gernades use a technology to give it a large "chunky salsa" tactic to repeatedly strike it's target. It can make the same number of attacks based on it's rating before the gernade itself is crushed. It has a limited area of effect, roughly 1 meter radius around the gernade, which has a 3 second delay. So a rating 3 gernade will make 3, 4L attacks.

Structure Integrity Degrader (S.I.D.)
This device has an addehisve side, which once activated, will send a constant vibration and lower the barrier rating by the pack's own rating. It is self destructable after use. It takes one round to use it's effect.

Melee Weapons

SW-Vibroblade
This sword uses vibrations to enhance it's cutting ability. The battery lasts for about 10 minutes, and the sword takes a round to go up to it's full power. Even when off, it still makes a formidable weapon.
