Ares Hellblazer Shotgun
Contributed by Baal13

ARES does it again with the new Hellblazer combat shotgun. Utilizing Ares patented Hellfire™ shotgun rounds, the Hellblazer will send forth jets of flames to burn your opponents to a crisp with a simple squeeze of the trigger. And there is no need to fear barrel warp, because ARES has incorporated a state of the inter-cooled heat reduction chamber to make sure the Hellblazer stays nice and cool even during burst fire. Combine this with an integral smartgun system, state of the art recoil compensation and a drum fed 50 round ammo capacity and you will need to look no further to find the serious firepower that you need. The ARES Hellblazer - a weapon that will burn the competition away.

Game Information

Ammo - 50 (drum)
Mode - SA/BF
Damage - 10P
Weight - 11.75 (16.75)*
Availability - 12F

*Weight in parenthesis is for a Hellblazer fully loaded with Hellfire rounds The Hellblazer comes with an integral smartgun system, built in foregrip (1 pnt of recoil reduction), built in shock pads (1 pnt of recoil reduction), heavy barrel (1pnt of recoil reduction), bullpup design (1pnt of recoil reduction), and recoil compensation 1 (1pnt of recoil reduction).

The Hellblazer can not mount underbarrel accessories due to the foregrip, top mounted accessories due to the ammo drum configuration, or barrel accessories due to the inter-cool heat reduction chamber.

The Hellblazer can not fire any other round except the Ares brand of Hellfire rounds. Hellfire rounds are identical to Big D's Temper shells (including cost, availability, street index, ect.) except the shells only fit in Ares weapons specifically designed to accommodate them. Due to the Inter-cooled heat reduction chamber, the Hellblazer does not suffer the effects of barrel warp due to heat. Should a weapon be modified to accommodate Hellfire rounds then the rules for barrel warp for Big D's Temper shells would apply.

Modifying the Hellblazer to fire other shotgun rounds means that the Hellblazer can no linger fire Hellfire rounds and requires a shotgun B/R (6) test with a base time of 72 hours. If the Hellblazer fires any other shell except Big D's Temper rounds then a +2 target modifier for shot rounds and a +4 target modifier for slug rounds goes into effect. Additionally, make a d6 roll each time a round is fired that is not a Big D's temper round. On a roll of 1 the barrel is damaged and suffers an additional +2 to target numbers until it is replaced. Replacing the barrel requires a shotgun B/R (5) skill test with a base time of 72 hours. The barrel must be replaced with a special heat resistance barrel if it is to safely fire Hellfire or Big D's Temper shells again. Replacing the barrel with an ordinary shotgun barrel negates the roll for barrel damage when using other shotgun rounds, but the die roll for barrel warp when firing Big D's Temper shells goes into effect since the inter-cooled heat reduction chamber can not properly disperse the heat.

>>>>>(Oh, thank you Ares for bringing us a heavy fraggin gun that only fires your own brand of ammo. And it's not even modified for trolls and we are probably the only people who can carry this fraggin thing! State of art in recoil reduction my bumpy, knarled behind. Part of the state of the art recoil reduction comes from your own fraggin hand when its grippin the foregrip. There isn't even a gasvent on this piece of drek!)<<<<<

>>>>>[ Actually, the design team at Ares attempted to mount a gasvent system on the proto-type, but the heavy discharge of flame could not be compensated by the gasvent system.)<<<<<
