This is my idea about a laser-hard-light combination.Still need to be refined

Name: Nova

- Wielder:Raytheon Clausewitz

- Maker/Smith:Raytheon Clausewitz

- Classification:High Energy Laser Spear(HELS)

- Weapon Derivation: Laser,spear,rifle,machine gun,hard-light

- Form 1 Design: (Cargo)In this form,Nova takes the shape of a marksman rifle with short yet slightly thicker barrel,extended handguard,stock and gun body. The gunstock is folded and fitted under the gun body to make the weapon more compact to deliver(Just like M6 rifle).The handguard contains a small hard-light projector that can be detached of replaced.

(Extended)The gunstock is now attrached behind the gun body.An ACOG scope is also extended and installed above the furniture.Unlike its rifle counterpart,Nova doesn't have any automatic mechaism,instead it has a laser cavity and a power chord that takes the place of automatic mechaism.There are several spin switches on the gun body,which are used as changing Dust usage and output power.When the trigger is presseded down,a laser beam packed with immense energy will be fired from the barrel.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: Most exposed surface are painted with silver-grey painting with trigger and gunstock painted in deeper grey. - Form 2: (Melee)In this form,the ACOG scope is folded on the side of gun body.A blue transparent hard-light spear with customizable length is projected by hard-light projector inside the handguard.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: Almost same with form 1

- Form 3: (Heavy Firepower)Two additional cuboid large modules are attrached on the gun body paralleled,one on each side.A small grip is installed benath the handguard to provide extra suppot.In this form,Nova looks like a light machine gun(like M249) - Form 3 Aesthetics: Additional modules are grey.

- Dust Usage: Ice-Cool down the weapon after long time of firing Fire-Provides laser beam with immense heat Gravity-Beam causes attractive force between wielder and target Electricity-Causes electric shock on target aside from heat effect. Hard-Light-Powers the hard-light projector

- Ammunition:Dust powder

- Usage: Raytheon mainly uses Nova as a ranged weapon.With laser's high accuracy,Raytheon can quickly aim at and destroy a Grimm's criticital part-during a field test,it takes four seconds for Nova to cut down the tail of a Nevermore with 4m wingspan,making it stall,spin and fall.When against people,Raytheon fires laser beams toward their head-even eyes-directly to blind them.Nova in heavy firepower mode can take down armored target quickly,but is too sturdy to swing,so Raytheon only uses this mode against armored target when he is under cover.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: Varied.Nova is a modular weapon,making upgrade very easy.The hard-light projector inside can be replaced by other small gadget modules.On each side of the gun body lies four module ports,providing access to further upgrades.

- Notes: Nova is not just a weapon.It is also a tool.As a laser,Nova can cut and weld metal parts,which comes handy when something made of metal brokens.
