Characters wishing to take care of their enemies from a
safe enough distance are limited in their options in Star
Frontiers. There are heavy weapons, but these have
their own limitations and annoyances. What they need
is a sniper rifle.

Sniper Rifles have an extremely long range. They are
often made of non-reflective material – often coated in
a flat black paint. Their targeting scopes include electronic
range determination and targeting guidance
(which halves the penalties associated with range).
They have folding bipod struts that can be extended in
order to steady the aim of the shooter. They are death
from a distance: in the hands of a highly trained military
expert – the damage can be enough to kill a man,
even from a single shot.

WarTech has outdone themselves again. The Kinetic
Pulse Pistol (or K-Pulse) was recently released into the
Frontier, with a decent price tag and an impressive
niche. It’s an energy weapon that causes inertia damage.
Energy defenses are so very effective that beam
weapon specialists often find themselves having to
waste large amounts of ammunition to get past them.
This pistol allows a quick way around them.

The pulse pistol fires a conical-shaped blast of kinetic
force (shaped sonic energy – like the blade of a sonic
knife). It is very destructive, causing 3d10 points of
Inertia damage per shot. The weapon may be fired up
to three times per turn. Each time the weapon is fired,
2 SEU are drained from its PowerClip. Of course, it can
be attached to a power backpack or beltpack with a
power cord as well. Sonic screens, albedo suits, and
albedo screens are all ineffective protection, though
Inertia screens and skeinsuits protect as normal.
