Few details are available about this weapon, and it is understood that the Imperial Security Agency is offering a large reward for one. Sources report that the PEG is a carbine sized gauss weapon firing a 10mm frangible, subsonic round. The weapon is composed primarily of composites, and can be separated into two subassemblies which will fit easily into a briefcase. It is designed to defeat most weapon sensors, and when disassembled, appears innocuous.
The weapons is fitted with an advanced computing gun sight that compensates for range, windage and target motion, giving the PEG excellent first round hit probability despite the exaggerated ballistic arc that results from its low velocity. The sight also has image enhancement and thermal capabilities.
The PEG is fitted with a destruct device and can act as a powerful incendiary device. The surface coating will not retain fingerprints and it is believed that the lubricant used on the weapon contains an agent which destroys biologicals, making genetic evidence useless.
The projectile is highly frangible, toxic and undetectable by ballistic tracing systems. |
