Heavy Rad Gun
A Heavy Rad Gun is a two-handed, close-range assault weapon that projects a broader, more intense wave of focused radiation than other models in the range. It remains light by conventional weapon standards — built around compact gnomish emitters rather than mass or recoil — but it is noticeably larger, sturdier, and more deliberate in the hand than its siblings. The discharge is still quiet and armour-agnostic, yet it delivers a significantly higher dose in a shorter time, making its effects faster and more dangerous than lighter patterns. Within Philo’s Groove’s Rad line it is the most powerful option: still subtle compared to other energy weapons, but far more punishing than any other Rad Gun when it lingers on a target.
“Want to assault the genome? Consult the gnome.
The Heavy Rad Gun doesn’t shout, it whispers devastation — a clean, clinical beam that tickles matter today and turns it to goo tomorrow. Philo’s Groove brings you precision chaos: lighter than you expect, heavier on results, and absolutely merciless to anything with a cellular plan. Choose the Rad Gun for a louder tomorrow.”
