Name: The Executor
Owner: Galactic Systems Union
Manufacturer: Blizzard Tech

Development Thread: https://convergencerp.rpg-board.net/t1173-gsu-weapons-development

Type: Pistol
Ammunition: 12.7x40mm semi armour-piercing rounds tipped with miniaturised explosive warheads
Rarity: Common

Strengths:
The Executor features rapid-fire capabilities which in a sense allows its rounds to be "spammed" at a target. Each bullet is tipped with a miniaturised explosive warhead that can blast small chunks off concrete walls and leave behind a hole with a diameter of 3-inches. Each clip contains 16 rounds. The pistol is very effective against moderately armoured targets. Each round's explosive capability poses a serious risk to any target wearing kevlar. Armour composed out of alloys can also be penetrated with a few well-placed shots depending on the composition and thickness of the armour.

Weaknesses:
The Executor's effectiveness is, to a degree, diminished against energy shields. Weaker energy shields could fall against a few well placed shots but targets with stronger shielding (such as shielding that can sustain fire against heavier weapons) are likely to be unaffected for the most part. Therefore the weapon is best suited for unshielded opponents or as a very last resort.

Description:
The Executor is the latest sidearm to be issued to all Colonial Marines in service of the GSU. The weapon replaces all other UNSC sidearms due to its superior stopping power resulted by each round's explosive effect, accuracy over long ranges and rate of fire. An alternate version of this weapon exists for civilian use, especially by law enforcement officers. This version utilises standard 12.7x40mm semi armour-piercing rounds without the explosive warheads to reduce collateral damage. However military-grade pistols are still issued to special forces of the law enforcement.

The weapon is also composed Kalgenite which visually represents carbon fibre but has the strength and density of titanium. It also features a smart-link feature that connects to the user's HUD, should they have one. This system displays the weapon's ammunition count as well as targeting reticule. The smart-link system also projects a 2x zoom function onto the user's HUD. If the user lacks a HUD, this zoom function is holographically projected on top of the weapon's sights.
