Bi-polar Blaster BMC-150

The main selling point of the Bi-Polar Blaster Carbine is its phenomenal firepower. Its alternately charged barrels deliver devastating amounts of energy, with reasonable accuracy, and high rate of fire... when the weapon actually works. To keep this blaster firing, power packs are consumed at a tremendous rate. Theoretically, one could hook it to a larger belt or backpack mounted power- pack to permit longer periods sustained fire, but the cooling system is not up to the task of dissipating the heat produced by prolonged, rapid fire. The hot exhaust plume produced in such instances is a dead giveaway of one's position when fighting enemies with thermal optics, and may be sufficient to burn the firer. Frequent maintenance is required to keep a bi-polar in working condition in the field.
