Darra Polytechnic DR-12 Quasar

The Darra-Polytechnic DR-12 Quasar is a Tech Revolver in.

Overview
The Quasar is deadly and accurate, combining the firepower of a revolver with the capacity of a small-caliber semi-automatic, but its secret advantage is its charge mode; when the trigger is held down, the Quasar will begin to fire fully automatic after a short delay and can rapidly empty its disc-shaped magazine. Whilst it isn't very accurate in this mode, it can make short work of anything too close.

Database Entry

 * The Quasar is perhaps the most distinctive weapon you can find in Night City. It features an unusual, angular frame, classic disc magazine and one-of-a-kind technology. After all, the Quasar is an electromagnetic gun. The barrel holds four electrically charged shafts, which, in combination with the bullet, form opposing electromagnetic poles. The resulting forces release the bullet – at lightning speed. A shot from the unassuming Quasar can even pierce armored vehicles and bulletproof vests.

Trivia

 * The Quasar resembles the fictional Seburo CX 'Compact eXploder' that appears in works of the manga artist Masamune Shirow, such as Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed.
