Heavy Blaster (GMC Sentry)

The Heavy Blaster is well, a heavy blaster. Though it is less of a blaster and more of a railgun, featuring a micro particle accelerator to accelerate micro particles to low percentages of the speed of light (>1%). These micro particles rapidly release energy after exiting the barrel, resulting in the beam of light you see when it fires. This particle is moving at extreme speeds but has so little mass, it does not result in a nuclear explosion which wipes the map but still deals a devastating amount of damage. With the “projectile” being primary energy rather than matter, this weapon can still be categorized as an energy based weapon, keeping this unit as a type of BLASTER.

The Heavy Blaster is an excellent fire support unit that can dish out massive amounts of damage from a safe distance in the backlines though not artillery level range. The VAS has moderately more range than the Heavy Blaster and is considered to have artillery class range. The Heavy Blaster is a neat unit that sits between stationary artillery and frontline unit. The Rocket Launcher you can argue fills a similar niche but requires ARG instead of Energy.
