K'one Guns

K'one Guns are weapons most notably used by the K'one Military. They are highly effective and advanced, yet made as simply as possible to prevent malfunction.

## Function

K'one Guns fire matter through a process known as supermatter hypercharging, which converts any matter (be it solid, liquid, gas, plasma, bose-einstein condensate) into supermatter, which is similar to a gas, however it is able to group together incredibly tightly without becoming solid or even liquid. This allows it to travel extreme distances without having to worry about drag. The denser the matter converted, the stronger the supermatter is. When they touch a solid or liquid, they instantly disperse at extremely high speeds and pressures, causing an explosion in the solid. Due to this, even the weakest K'one Guns can blow a human in half. The materials K'one Head prosthetics are made of are resistant to this, allowing them to be reused if the K'one Head that possessed them is shot by a K'one Gun for whatever reason, usually because it is stolen. These capsules were originally simply filled with air, but they have recently changed to being filled with Scronchite powder, radically increasing their destructive potential, and reducing the necessary size of capsules.

### Mechanisms

The way a K'one Gun fires is similar to a firearm. However, the projectiles are much different. K'one Guns work by converting matter inside a capsule (Some are expendable, these evaporate upon use, but others are reusable, and these are usually used in belt-fed K'one Guns.) These capsules are filled via a small valve that closes once the capsule reaches capacity. These are usually incredibly small, most being no larger than a bland-reality .12-caliber bullet since the merger with LBP Shipping Co. They are orange (think nerf gun magazine orange) and ovular, with pointed ends. Due to their size, up to 80 can be loaded in a smaller magazine. These magazines operate via spring, just as a bland-reality one does, which loads a capsule into a chamber, where a hypercharger charges it with K'onergy, which is created via a power cell usually placed in the grip of the weapon. Even the smallest of these can last for several months. Once the supermatter is created, a process taking less than a millisecond, a small piston hits the back of the capsule, violently launching the supermatter out of the barrel. The capsule then evaporates, and the resultant force sends the piston back. (On a fully-automatic K'one Gun, this also sends it forward to strike the next capsule.) On a belt-fed K'one Gun, most of the function is the same, however the recoil is used to push the belt to the side, loading the next capsule into the chamber. To reduce the insane recoil created by this process, K'one Gun barrels have muzzle brakes at the end of the barrel, which sends some of the supermatter flying out before it has fully formed the bullet-esque shape it naturally does, counteracting recoil.

## Classifications

K'one Guns have five classifications, Grade 1 (small), Grade 2 (large), Grade 3 (heavy), Grade 4 (mounted), and Grade 5, or K'annons.

Grade 1 K'one Guns are quite small, comparable to a pistol, but lacking any form of slide or bolt due to one not being needed.

Grade 2 K'one Guns are the larger K'one Guns, comparable to a sub machine gun or a carbine, depending on the size. (Anything larger is unneeded due to the nature of K'one Guns.)

Grade 3 K'one Guns, or heavy K'one Guns, are large, often belt-fed K'one Guns that fire larger, reusable capsules.

Grade 4 K'one Guns, or mounted K'one Guns, are, as the name implies, often mounted to a surface, however certain individuals, like the Wrath of K'onius, use them while holding them.

Grade 5 K'one Guns, or K'annons, are essentially giant K'one Guns that oftentimes fire solid supermatter.

## Notable Examples

KGS-0014: This is used by police to suppress animal attacks.

KGS-0028M: This is used by riot police and some lower K'one soldiers.

KGS-0028: This is used by the vast majority of lower K'one soldiers.

KG-0221: This is on the larger end of Grade 2 K'one Guns, and is used by K'one Generals.

KGS-EOK2: This is a sort of middle ground weapon between Grades 2 and 3, used by the Eyes of K'onius. It features a magazine system that cycles the capsules through the magazine for reusability. It also features two barrels in an over-under configuration, allowing the gun to fire faster.

KGS-EOK1: This is a weapon used by the EOK as a more concealable weapon, which is much shorter than the EOK2 and also thinner.

KGS-3124: This is often used by the Wrath of K'onius. It features a magnetic clamp that attaches it to the shoulder of the K'onius Wraith (used to describe soldiers in the WoK) which reduces recoil.

## Appearance

Traditional K'one Guns (or K'one'kahl'naho'gak) are used by the K'one Military and have a somewhat archaic appearance to them, with rough black surfaces making them look like stone and orange lines between each frame panel. They also tend to be very angular. LBP Shipping Co. K'one Guns are much more futuristic-looking, with mostly white frame panels with teal lines between them. They also tend to have smooth edges and more smooth surfaces.
