Yazin's Armory: Micro Laser by Yazin[Slim walks over to a table filled with wicked looking stuff and picks up] Slim: "This is the "Eversafe Arms" micro laser. Many of you may not have known that Eversafe Corp dealt in the arms market. This is one of their rare efforts and is a departure from other companies' products. As you can see, the weapon is simple in design and very small. Sentients with smaller hands should be able to work this weapon with ease. It is made diminutive to be easily concealable and is smaller than even the Ke-1000 laser pistol. The Micro laser is Eversafe's bid to fill the gap between the Rafflur M-1 and the Ke-1000. The Micro laser is exactly that. It is favored by people who wish to appear unarmed and it is a good backup weapon. It is carried by undercover StarLawmen and Intelligence agents quite frequently. Some uniformed Star Law as well as special operations personnel carry the Micro Laser as a backup weapon. Although it is not issued by any institution as far as I know, it is fulfills the backup role well. The micro laser is designed to have a smooth exterior so to be easily drawn. The sights are simple iron type sights, but are adequate for the weapon's range. The small weapon only accepts mini powerclips and cannot use standard powerclips. The weapon can be attached to a power belt or backpack however, though this is rare. The non-slip finger grooved grips provide a comfortable firing hold, and the weapon is accurate at closer ranges. Although the micro laser does have a power setting like most lasers, the weapon is so small that it can only be set from 1 to 5. The weapon, when used, is often set to the maximum setting and can be devastating at close range. This will of course give the user only 2 shots in most situations." [Slim holds the weapon and fires it against the target 5 meters away] FWWWWzapThe lack of flare baffles make the weapon a dazzling experience to fire at night. This unfortunately has a tendency to give the firer away, though this is not often a problem. When fired, the micro laser is usually used at close range, and this often precludes the firer's concealment." [Slim walks to target, a burned hole is apparent in the metal.] "You can see here that the laser has good power for such a small weapon. This burn is from the highest setting, lower setting's results will not be quite as respectable. Concealment of the weapon is achieved differently by each of the major races. Many bipeds conceal at the ankle or small of the back. Vrusks might consider the base of their torso's. Humma can conceal this weapon strapped to their belly. Some Dralasites might be able to absorb this weapon into their bodies and conceal it, though I would not recommend this due to the danger of accidental discharge. In conclusion, the micro laser is an excellent choice for a backup or small easily concealed weapon. It is not the most comfortable weapon to hold while firing, but delivers respectable damage to the target. Its power reservoir is small, but is adequate for a few shots. Care should be taken in the discharge of this and all deadly weapons. Range is limited, so a target must be close for the laser blast to be effective." Slim: "Well, that's about it for now. Tune in soon when we will cover other nifty items for adventurers everywhere." [Signal Ends] Yazin: "Hey Slim! Sorry I'm late for my own show. Have we got some time left? I wanna show off my latest invention." Slim: "Sorry Yazin, we're out of time. You can show off your Industrial boron rivet gun modified for tactical use next week." Yazin: "Yeah, ok." Slim: "The safety's on that thing right?" Special thanks to: Albin Johnson for his Availability/Legality system
