TW Shrinker (Stormspire)

Market Cost: 500,000 credits for the rifle, 40,000 credits per PPE-Clip. Almost never available.

NG-F10 Freeze Ray (Northern Gun)

This is the technological model of the two Freeze Rays on the market. This model uses a rediscovered pre-Rifts super-coolant called Creon that instantaneously freeses the ambient moisture in all surrounding air molecules. The more Creon emitted, the larger the area affected. The ice produced is different from ordinary ice... the interior temperature of the ice is twenty degrees Fahrenheit below zero, and takes twice as much time to melt as normal ice. People encased in this ice are exposed to the risk of hypothermia and frostbite, and may die if not rescued in a timely fashion.

Weight: 8 lbs.
Damage: 3D6 MDC damage per melee the victim is encased in the ice
Range: 500 feet
Rate of Fire: Either single shots, or a steady stream for the entire melee round.
Payload: A canister of Creon provides up to 10 minutes worth of ice.
Market Cost: 300,000 credits for the rifle, a canister of Creon costs 50,000 credits. Rare.

TW Freeze Ray (Stormspire)

This is the other model of the two Freeze Rays on the market, produced exclusively by the techno-wizards of Stormspire. This rifle-like weapon uses the Orb of Cold spell to encase an object or person in magical ice.

Weight: 12 lbs.
Damage: 3D6 MDC, plus a saving throw vs. Magic
Range: 1000 feet
Rate of Fire: Single shot only.
Payload: 8 shots per PPE-clip
Market cost: 500,000 credits for the rifle, 40,000 credits per PPE-clip. Scarce.

UAC BFG-9000

The UAC BFG-9000, commonly referred to as "the BFG", is a D-Bee weapon of unknown origin. Attempts to reverse-engineer the weapon have thus far been unsuccessful, and the original weapon remains unique.

The BFG is powered by a series of four UAC high-capacity power cells, each providing enough power for a single shot (all power cells must be in place for the weapon to be fired.) It may be possible to rig a system for either recharging the unique power cells, or for powering the weapon with common CE-clips (a Weapons Engineering roll will be at a penalty of -30% to successfully modify either.) CE-clip power will operate at only a single shot per quad-clip rig.

Weight: 100lbs.
Damage: 6D6 x 10 MDC, with a blast effect of 2D6 x 10 MDC to a 60 foot area.
Rate of Fire: 1 shot every other melee. It takes a full melee round to replace the energy cells or CE-Clips.
Payload: 1 shot for every quad-clip rig
Black Market cost: Essentially priceless, a working model could cost an easy fifty million credits and up. There are no knock-offs. None have yet made it onto the Black Market.
Penalties: The blast effect is -2 to dodge, and the weapon is so heavy, and has a great enough recoil that only characters with a P.S. of 22 or higher can handle the weapon.
