Working around a basic limitation in capabilities inherent in typical man-portable blaster weapons, the Z-6 incorporated a rotary assembly of six barrels, each with its own actuating chamber, wrapped around a coolant-lined core. The Z-6 was large and unwieldy and required training to use effectively. It was similar to a heavy repeating blaster, except it did not require a tripod to operate and thus could be carried by a single heavy weapon specialist.
The burst mode generates significant recoil a Moderate Strength roll is required after each burst to maintain control of the gun and fire the next round.ĭescription: The Z-6 rotary blaster cannon was a heavy weapon that fired a massive spray of blaster bolts at a target. A separate skill roll (without additional multiple action penalties) is required for each target within the burst arc. A burst may be targeted on a single target, dealing 8D damage, or may be fired in an arc, dealing regular damage against those within the firing arc. This weapon is equipped with a Burst Mode, firing up to 166 rounds per second. 5 ammo are consumed in a single shot as the weapon rapidly fires, resulting in the weapon's high damage rating. Characters with low strength attempting to use the Z-6 do so at higher difficulty, all range increments are treated as one higher, unless the weapon is tripod mounted.ĭue to the weapon's design, it is impossible to fire a single round.
Notes: The Z-6 is truly a Heavy Blaster the size and weight of this weapon require a minimum Strength of 3D to wield properly and cannot be lifted by someone with less than 2D Strength.
