BLAM Gun

The BLAM Gun is a type of non-lethal firearm used commonly by superheroes and vigilantes in Universe Prime. This type of blaster pistol was invented by Brad Labs and was designed to be an efficient and non-lethal firearm to be used to neutralise hostiles at a distance without resulting in death. Whilst most examples of these weapons are handguns, there are also rifles in non-automatic, semi-automatic, fully-automatic and sniper forms.
BLAM Guns are somewhat similar to laser guns or “blasters” in design, with the same method of light-based ammunition only in a non lethal form. The Brad Labs design of the BLAM gun could be considered a precursor for Blasters with the invention of the BLAM gun being in [present day] while the blaster rifle becomes the weapon of choice some time in the [future]
== Appearance ==
Each gun is custom made to suit the owner it is commissioned for Including size, shape, appearance and laser colour. Generally it is designed to stylishly match the owner’s attire.
== Specifications ==
Each BLAM Gun is designed to be non-lethal. The gun fires short blasts of burning hot “Hard light” energy that shoots in a perfectly straight line and leave a perfectly round singe mark on the target. The singed area smokes briefly but does not leave permanent damage. The main damage from this gun is being hit by the force from the beam of hard light.
The gun has decent range and accuracy thanks to the ammunition being concentrated beams of light. This also gives the weapon a very high rate of fire being able to shoot up to 3 shots a second. Lack of a magazine also makes the gun very lightweight.
The gun does not hold a clip or magazine and is instead fuelled by a battery that is consumed by firing a shot. On average, one full charge of battery will last roughly 1000 shots before running out. These guns can be charged in a docking station that will fully refill their battery. Due to the heat of the laser, the high fire rate and the battery pack, the BLAM Gun is prone to occasional overheating.
