Thought Rifle

So far, there have been two notable attempts to make an assault rifle that is triggered by thought (although the latter is really just a revised version of the former). The first attempt simply fires whenever it's touched, so it can be called a complete failure. The second attempt works fine, but still isn't all that popular.

Profile (Thought Rifle Version 0.1)

Name: Thought Rifle 0.1
Size: Medium
Description: It looks like a futuristic assault rifle without a trigger.
Nicknames: Sensitive Rifle
Type: Laser Assault Rifle
Owner: Hegari Kobor owns at least one. The other owners are currently unknown.
Availability: Rare
Producer: No one produces it anymore, at least not legally. I’m not sure who produced it before.

Info: The Thought Rifle was supposed to shoot whenever someone thought about firing it while touching it. However, the “whenever someone thought about firing it” part didn’t make it into the weapon, so it fires whenever anyone touches it for any reason. An impact of any kind will also cause it to fire. Some people still try to sell them to unsuspecting customers, even though the original producers have abandoned it and tried to make a new version.

Advantages:

  • Has a great rate of fire

Disadvantages:

  • Fires whenever it is touched, dropped, or hit

Attacks:
Nothing special.

History:
This is a failed attempt to make a gun that fires based on thoughts instead of triggers. If it worked at all, it would be easily modifiable to work with any species (or already be able to work with all of them, I’m not sure). The creators of this weapon have tried to make another one since.

Profile (Thought Rifle Version 1.0)

Name: Thought Rifle 1
Size: Medium

Description: It looks like a futuristic assault rifle without a trigger, although it’s a different color than the earlier version.

Nicknames: Thought Rifle
Type: Laser Assault Rifle
Owner: Unknown
Availability: Uncommon
Producer: Unknown

Info: The Thought Rifle is supposed to shoot whenever someone thinks about firing it while touching it. However, it only works if the user is wearing the special eyepiece that comes with it. The eyepiece checks the brain to see if the user is thinking of firing the rifle. If they are, the eyepiece sends a signal to the gun, which then fires until the user stops wanting it to fire.

Advantages:

  • Has a great rate of fire
  • The user doesn’t need to worry about reflexes when using it

Disadvantages:

  • Doesn’t work without the eyepiece
  • The user needs to be careful not to think about shooting the gun at the wrong time
  • Each species needs its own kind of eyepiece

Attacks:
Nothing special.

History:
This is a more successful attempt at making a mind-controlled gun. It still hasn’t caught on very much, though, since the increased reaction time doesn’t outweigh the inconvenience of having to avoid thinking about shooting for most of the time.
