The Beater is an unusual Drathonian plasma weapon, made with a rotary compression action, which allows it a high rate of fire, as well as dual barrels with large heat sinks to keep it from overheating. due to its action, it must be held like a chainsaw, and, when pointed downwards, resembles an egg beater.

Shot type:
Plasma rifle; Rotary action.
A rotating flywheel is used as a compression chamber, the wheel draws in air then compresses it, once it has reached the barrel, it is at its most compressed and the wheel charges it, and ejects it out of the suddenly open barrel. in this way it has three blasts charging up at once. the shots cycle between the two barrels, allowing them to cool between shots

Mode info:
The Beater is solely automatic, with a fixed rate of fire. the rotor must turn several cycles before it has heated enough to draw in air and compress it properly, and therefore takes a short time to wind up, but this same action allows it an extremely high rate of fire.

Features:

• There is a wrist brace which can be unfolded to help keep the weapon from rising too much from gyroscopic force.
  
• There is a handle on the left side of the gun, which allows it to be held more stably.
  
• The Battery is a large disc which must be screwed into and out of its socket; it is a pain to change.
