Slug TransducerDespite their continually improved performance, there are certain situations in which traditional ballistic weaponry is found to be at a disadvantage. Heavily armored systems with reinforced plating can often shrug off simple weapons fire, or even advanced munitions with relative ease. Slug transducers are often used to overcome this particular fault in an otherwise reliable weapon. Converting hydrogen from the environment into transferrable energy, slug transducers supercharge projectiles as they leave the weapon. Using a tightly controlled fissile process to produce this energy, they can be quite dangerous if they are poorly maintained or damaged, but often the benefits outweigh the risks, as transduced ballistic weapons are extremely dangerous to electrical and mechanical targets, adding the [Energy (Ion)] tag to the weapons damage. Cost: 500Cr
Hard Points: 1
Restrictions: Can only be applied to Ranged weapons with the [Piercing] tag.
Special: Cannot be installed in conjunction with other modifications that change the nature of the weapon, such as the Bolt Action, or Gauss Actuating Module.
