Plasma Arquebus

The Plasma Arquebus is a long, heavy barreled, bulky weapon that at first glance looks like it was meant for combat over long distances in wide, open settings. The opposite is true. Invented by Kobaldts, the Plasma Arquebus excels at close quarters in cramped, narrow interiors, such as in their underground warrens, Dwarven Forts, and especially aboard spacefaring vessels, where the magnetically bound plasma bolts have a habit of ricocheting off of metal surfaces. The barrel is so massive because it contains most of the heating and containment coils used to propel superheated bolts of plasma down range. Plasma Arquebi vary in capabilities from pattern to pattern, with each individual tribe having their own design. Some patterns fire a single, large slug of plasma, others fire a spread of smaller bolts, others still spew forth a narrow, intense cloud of superheated death.
The "Gladius" Pattern is the variant available to the CMC. Designed by Chief Engineer Gimbal, this variant is thoroughly unique in its firing pattern. It first fires a narrow spread of loosely bound mid-sized slugs that trail a cloud of superheated plasma behind them, and a moment later fires a large spread of tightly bound smaller "pellets". The high power of each shot causes this pattern to overheat quickly.
Note: Kobaldt characters do not have access to the "Gladius" Pattern, and are instead given the materials required to build their own from scratch.
