Name: Hitzeschock

Wielder: Incendium Queimar

Maker/Smith: Incendium Queimar

Classification: Light Automatic Ballistic Launcher

Weapon Derivation: The Danish Madsen MG

Design: Beefed-up, modernized Madsen MG with pistol grip and carrying handle. Feeds from top-loaded magazine. Thick, segmented barrel, fiberglass stock w/ magazine holder. Gun-metal gray color, stock painted an industrial brown, and body is caked in scorch marks.

Holstered/Inactive Form: Barrel folds down (similar to a telescoping baton), magazine is automatically moved to the side, and stock scales down.

Form 1: Support MG form, single barrel and bipod. Digital sight picture comes up, carrying handle folds down, and recoil-bracing stock folds out fully. Effective when placed down in entrenched position.

Form 2: “Walking fire” Gatling form, barrel splits into 3 rotating barrels (connected by bipod), carrying handle folds out and sight picture disappears. Stock folds up partially, allowing weapon to be carried more easily. Lack of need for sights enables use of snail drum magazine.

Form 3: “Fire storm” form, magazine port enables use of fire dust canister, barrels come much closer together, sight picture and stock fold. In this form the weapon functions less like a flamethrower and more like an automatic shotgun loaded with dragon’s breath ammunition. Effective when clearing positions via flanking.

Features: Foldable bayonet, small blade hidden in stock

Dust Capacity: Fire dust used in fire storm form, condensed dust ammunition (GL rounds filled with various dust types instead of explosives) can be used in form 1 and 2.

Ammunition: Uses various ammunition types including: flak/airburst, explosive, condensed dust, conventional, incendiary, AP, and shotgun shells. 42-round “banana” magazine or 100 round snail drum magazine (the latter obstructs the sighting however)

Usage: GPMG. Use form 1 to set up behind cover and create a cone of fire. Form 2 used for mobile suppressive fire, at the cost of accuracy, and form 3 used for close-to-mid-ranged combat

Planned/Possible Upgrades: More ammo types, different sights, stock upgrades

Notes: Name means “heat-shock” in German. Not only does this refer to the fast fire rate and incendiary ammunition of the weapon, but heat-shock is a scientific term for when a cell is rapidly heated to a temperature higher than that of the organism it came from was meant for
