P ersonal I on C annon

Description:

There were those who said it was impossible - that an Ion Cannon could never be made small enough for personal use, but once again it has been proved that anything is possible. The combination of newly developed lightweight composite materials and cutting-edge energy storage technology, brings instant destruction of the highest magnitude to your fingertips. The PIC is in no way inferior to its orbital counterpart, delivering the same 2TW of power to the same devastating effect. It comes complete with variable zoom scope, self-adjusting shoulder rest and a smart carry-case.

Ion Cannon are very sensitive to movement whilst firing. To prevent disruption, the PIC uses a gravitational stabilizer to hold itself and the wielder perfectly still during the firing sequence.

Usage:

- Primary-fire is the same as the Ion Cannon (the thing that's usually hanging in the sky overhead!). It will only fire if you are standing still. Once it starts to fire you will be unable to move or turn at all (it's a very sensitive device - even the slightest vibration could cause a malfunction) until the firing sequence has been completed. Because it leaves you so vulnerable, it is highly recommended that you find a nice secluded spot to fire from. The blast radius is just as large as the orbital Ion Cannon, so don't fire at anything too close.
- Secondary-fire is a standard zoom, for more accurate employment at long range. It has a slight brightness enhancement, making it well suited for use in dark environments.
