Verplaatsen Weaponry

As well as space warfare, Verplaatsen have advanced weaponry to used on the ground. Most of these guns average two metres in length, about the right size for a Verplaatsen.

Melee Weapons

• Four-bladed Serrated Edge Electric Sword: This sword has two criss-crossing blades, so all four sides are sharp. Each of these blades is serrated, and in addition, they can also be 'turned on', and it will deliver an electric shock to anything it hits.
• Spiked Hammer: This hammer has an enormous head, surrounded all the way round by rows of deadly spikes. The top of the hammer also has a large spike and can be used for stabbing.
• Axe: This axe has the standard-shaped axe head, but there are spikes on the metal head for additional damage. On the front of the wooden handle, there is a serrated blade that can be used for stabbing.
• Laser Spear: This is a two pronged spear, both spikes being serrated blades. There are also generators in the blade that allow an invisible laser to stretch between them. This laser, though small, can cut through most materials.

Rifles

• Obliterator Rifle: This fires a beam that disintegrates the target.
• Transmat Rifle: This appears to disintegrate the target, but in fact transports it to a secure cell on the main Verplaatsen spaceship. It can be used on allies in distress, the user, or, if necessary, enemies.

Machine-Guns

• Standard Automatic Machine-Gun: This gun has one barrel, and fires pointed nanodiamond bullets at a rate of five per second.
• Standard Semi-Automatic Machine-Gun: See above.
• 'Flamethrower' Machine-Gun: This is an automatic machine gun. It is possible to light the inside of the barrel without causing damage to the weapon. Nanodiamond bullets laced with flammable material are then fired through the flames, creating flaming bullets.
• Explosive Machine-Gun: This automatic machine gun fires steel pellets loaded with explosive powder, which goes off on impact.

Cannons

• Standard Cannon: This is a relatively small cannon supported on a stand that allows it to swivel up and down. It has one barrel.
• Heavy Cannon: This cannon is enormous, at least six metres high. They are fitted on a stand that keeps the cannon permanently at a good firing angle. The main barrel is enormous, but not used. Inside, are four smaller (but still large) barrels, arranged in a square. These can be fired simultaenously, in quick sucession, or separately.
• Ground-to-Air Cannon: This cannon is fixed on a stand so it points permanently upwards. Inside the main, enormous barrel are three small barrels, arranged in a triangle. These can be fired with incredible velocity and are used to bring down enemy aircraft.

Others

• Laser Gun: This fires a laser, invisible in sunlight, which burns through anything it touches. It comes with a telescopic sight, so the user will know where the laser will strike, and no-one else does.
• Electro-Chip: Not all Verplaatsen have this weapon. Those that do have a small chip surgically embedded in their hand, and receive a small circular disc to activate it. When it is activated, it sends a strong electric current through whatever the Verplaatsen is holding. This is a common torture method used on smaller species.
