Description: Similar in appearance and weight to the Webley Mk VI revolver (Webley & Scott produced the entire production run of the Tesla Smerle from 1945 to 1964), with the exception that the barrel has been filled with a crystalline substance whose composition is still classified (and also impervious to modern analysis). To reload, pop the top, pull out the capacitor, put in another. The Smerle CANNOT fire regular ammunition. Recoil is nonexistent.
Range: technically, about a mile or so.
Damage: A shot will kill a man. Three shots that hit the exact same spot will likely penetrate most tanks’ side armor. There has been at least one occasion where a Smerle has been used to shoot down a fighter jet, but that was under extremely anomalous conditions.
Shots: 6 per capacitor.
Recharge time: the capacitor recharges at the rate of one shot per hour, assuming that somebody has enough electricity to power a city block at hand.
