BRSB-series Arcane Energy Cannons

The BRSB-16 Compact Arcane Energy Cannon is a firearm in Evoked Legends Online. Kurenai dual-wields a custom pair for his own use.

Design
This weapon is the result of technology and arcane research, compiled into one deadly weapon. In a similar fashion to the Springfield XDL Mk. V pistols, the BRSB-16 CAEC is able to store arcane energy in the cylindrical portion of its frame, which then generate bullets after materials are loaded into the cylinder. Virtually anything can be used as ammunition, provided there is enough of it and that it is in a solid form. Standard-issue BRSB-16 cannons come with the option of either mechanical or magical agitators; mechanical agitators allow for faster energy charging, while magical agitators will render the cannons unable to overheat. Each BRSB-16 Cannon also features a fire-selector switch, allowing the cannon to fire seven rounds in rapid succession at the cost of overall damage output, or charging up a powerful blast of solid mass that can effectively blow off limbs with ease. The overall design of the cannon features a sleek, forward-swept model with several embedded LED lights. These lights indicate whether or not the cannon is active, and they will change colors to signal something in the gun; for example, a red light indicates potential overheating, a blue light indicates low arcane charge, grey lights indicate nothing wrong in the cannon, and yellow indicates no materials are loaded into the gun. Another interesting feature of the guns is the firing system and triggers. If the cannon is unable to fire, an automatic trigger lock is activated, and the trigger will be locked in place. Trigger pulls will vary from user to user; some prefer hair triggers, some prefer a semi-auto trigger pull, other prefer a full-auto blast.

Kurenai's variants have been internally modified significantly, with minor external aesthetic changes. His twin BRSB-16 cannons feature an all-black design, with the colors of the LED lights changed to match with their names. Ruby, Kurenai's right-handed pistol, features red lighting, as opposed to the blue light of Lapis, his left-handed pistol. Both feature modified mechanical agitators, which are directly synchronized with Kurenai himself so he can directly change the energy output of the weapons himself. Each are also modified to fire in seven-round bursts, unless Kurenai decides to charge up and fire a large energy blast. Another shared feature is the sight system. The physical sights are only there for when he uses one of his pistols, but when dual-wielding, Kurenai has added in a holographic targeting system that displays only to him; the only possible way to tell the holo-sights are active would be to look directly at the pistols and check the three hexagonal heat vents on the barrel. When the holo-sight is active, these hexagonal heat vents gain a barely-visible lighting around their perimeters, which are colored to match with the respective pistol's color scheme. Kurenai also modded the cylinder on the cannons, allowing him to spin them to charge up arcane energy via kinetic charging mechanisms installed internally; of course, he has the cylinders locked into position until he decides to spin them up for a charge

Trivia

 * The custom variants sub-heading is really just an umbrella term for any weapon which uses similar mechanics to the BRSB-16 CAEC.
 * The [REDACTED] Squadron are all equipped with a BRSB-17 Compact as a standard-issue sidearm, alongside a standard-issue BRSB-16 Compact.
 * The unique variants used by this Squadron are all named after female mythological entities. Each name also has something to do with the corresponding player's race. If the parallels aren't clear, the wielder of "Medusa" is a Gorgon; a cat-based Bestial wields the "Nekomata;" an Elf uses "Daphnaie;" and "Lilith" is used by a vampire.
 * The [REDACTED] Squadron are also all-female, go figure.
 * The Damasu-kai Yakuza variants are all pirated versions of military variants, featuring various features that could easily bring death, destruction, and chaos with just a few pulls of the trigger.
 * The custom light setting in Ruby and Lapis cannot be changed, effectively disabling their ability to physically indicate a problem. Kurenai has found a way around this by installing a different style of problem indication, which manifests as a holographic notification that appears to the side of Kurenai's field of view. If the problem persists and threatens Kurenai's well-being, the notification will become more apparent. He usually notices the problem the first time the notification appears, as he installed the program containing the notifications to alert him visually and audibly with a rather annoying beep.
