Equipment and Design Features
Taking sakuradite into the next step, Alister Tybalt began making extensive use of it as a weapon. Attaching to the Knightmare's arm, a triple barreled gun is placed on top of the frame's hand. A sniper scope is placed near the barrel, allowing for increased visual range when the arm is outstretched. There are two separate compartments, one of which contains the liquid sakuradite. This container is placed on the lower forearm, and is a smaller than the container up top. This is due to the sakuradite being explosive, and a target for enemy shots.
The upper portion of the S.B.B Arm is the larger container which holds the ammunition, armor piercing rounds. This part is easily removed and replaced, allowing for faster reload time. Inside the barrels of the gun are tiny, plastic needles which are hollow much like a cobra's fang. A bullet passing through the barrel will have a tighter, corkscrew spin increasing accuracy and distance. he bullet passing through will also be coated in a fine spray of sakuradite. Before the plastic needles, is a laser reader meant to read the shots as they come through. Much like a bar code through a laser, as the bullet passes it will be read thus triggering the needles to release the sakuradite.
The S.B.B Arm is an assault weapon, one of a high caliber. The rounds are designed to go through metals easier than other bullets. Although it will meet resistance, the true specialty of the weapon lies in the explosive power of each bullet. With each bullet covered in sakuradite, once it makes contact will spark causing an explosion. The bullet's explosion is comparable to a regular hand grenade, making it quite effective given the high rate of fire the S.B.B Arm uses.
There are two rates of fire that the pilot can choose. There is a selective fire, in which bullets will shoot through one barrel each in order to save ammunition. The second shoots three bullets from the barrels simultaneously, thus causing higher damage and concentrating the fire. Although not originally intended by Alister, it was later found out able to cut off the bullets connection to the first container. The pilot can then increase the sakuradite output, thus making it spray directly onto the frame at close ranges. This is a huge tactical weapon for causing effective blows to an environment and frame alike.
Development RP:
Today was the test of the Sakuradite. Based. Ballistics. Arm would be out to use, the splendid day in which Alister had promised to build a weapon that would revolutionize assault weapons. It was a simply easy test, and a row of retired Glasgow was set out in the testing room. The frames were kneeling down in a line, a huge white room with a panel of researchers behind bullet proof glass. A Gloucester was placed some 70 feet from the Glasgows. The Gloucester's arm was equipped with the S.B.B Arm, it was already pointing at the Glasgow line. Walking into the testing room, Alister wore a white pilot's outfit with a matching helmet tucked underneath his arm. Placing the helmet on, he waved mockingly to the people he dubbed, his less important peers goodbye. He was the only one currently who understood the entire functions of the weapon, and knew what to do if there was a mess up. Walking into the cockpit of the Gloucester, Alister started it up as the frame roared to life. He knew the basics of piloting although he lacked actual skill in it. Nobody except a select few knew of what this weapon was going to do. So it'd be a huge surprise to the higher ranked officials watching the test. Pointing the S.B.B Arm at on Glasgow, he set it onto standard mode and shot a single bullet through the Glasgow shoulder. As it made contact, the bullet exploded sending the frame backwards slightly. Alister then proceeded to fire it off in rapid rounds, each bullet exploding against the Glasgow, each bullet tearing through the frame's armor and taking it apart. Within no time at all, the Glasgow was severely damaged to the point where use for scrap metal seemed unachievable. Alister then switched it to the second mode, this time shooting three bullets from each barrel simultaneously. Aiming at another Glasgow this time, the results were much quicker the bullets exploding on impact with a concentrated fire. This resulted in frame pieces being blown apart the testing room, an arm there a cockpit here. Finally, Alister tested out the function he added personally, away from the team and away from any onlookers. Flipping a switch, Alister cut off the connection from the bullets to the actual barrels. He then turned a knob next to that switch causing the needles to be widened and allowing more sakuradite to be poured in. As he pulled the trigger, a thin mist of sakuradite landed on the Glasgows as Alister stopped the firing, and exited the Gloucester in a hurry. Running up to the observation deck, Alister's Gloucester exploded 75 feet away from the Glasgows. He had set up a self destruct onto it explaining his quick run from the Gloucester. Normally it wouldn't mean anything except a burning piece of metal hit a Glasgow, causing the sakuradite on it to explode violently and setting of a chain reaction of explosions.
