Pulse Rifle
"The First thing you have to forget is to think of it as a gun. Think of it, rather, as shooting lightning bolts."
Basic Pulse Rifle training seminar for Science Corps Officers A Directed Energy Rifle or Pulse Rifle is a assault weapon that emits short bursts of energy, usually as a particle beam or laser. Pulse Rifles are much rarer than Blast Rifles due to some technical hindrances they pose. Most lasers are difficult and dangerous to use as personal combat weapons due to the danger they pose to unprotected sight. Particle beam weapons, on the other hand tend to generate radiation back-scatter, irradiating the shooter, oftentimes severely over a prolonged campaign. Nonetheless both types of weapons are in use with many races favoring one type or another. Laser Weapons are widespread in ship-based space combat and laser rifles are the preferred tools of marine teams on boarding missions. Particle Beam Rifles are much more widespread, usually the weapon of choice for scientists and surveyors due to the ability of recharging the weapon. The quintessential Pulse Rifle is a compact particle beam weapon firing very accurate short bursts that melt through enemies. The primary counters to all energy weapons are energy deflectors, of which there are few that can be equipped by a lone combatant.
