A.C.M.E. Electrostunner: An Electrostunner looks like a large
plastic pistol. It is a short-range weapon which fires an arc of
electrons that resembles a flash of lightning. It is commonly referred to
as a "zapgun", due to the sound it makes. An Electrostunner has settings
for stun, or blast, and the beam is not affected by metal armour in either
case. It uses the same powercell as the
Blaster and laser
pistol/laser rifle.

A.C.M.E. Blaster: The A.C.M.E. Blaster has a shorter range than
most other laser pistols, and a dial which can adjust the DPV from 0.1 to 1.0
in steps of 0.1 Mj. The laser pistol and rifle share the same powercell
as the Electrostunner, above. With its
cheaper price and adjustable variable power, the A.C.M.E. Blaster is expected
to corner a large share of the personal sidearms market.
