Arcturus Defense Solutions Pulse Carbine PC-6 'Heartbeat'

A compact electromagnetic pulse weapon that fires focused EMP bursts capable of disabling unshielded electronics within a targeted cone. The PC-6 generates a shaped electromagnetic wavefront through a series of rapidly discharged capacitor banks, creating a pulse that induces catastrophic current surges in electronic circuits. Against cyberware, the effect ranges from temporary shutdown to permanent damage depending on the target's shielding grade. Arcturus designed it for anti-drone and counter-electronics operations, but its effectiveness against augmented personnel has made it a weapon of terror in aug-heavy communities.

story hooks

An underground movement is using stolen PC-6 units to disable surveillance networks in liberated neighborhoods — but the pulses are also frying residents' medical cyberware.
Someone has modified a PC-6 to emit a specific frequency that only affects Axiom-manufactured neural interfaces — this is targeted corporate warfare.

Midjourney product photograph: Arcturus Defense Solutions Pulse Carbine PC-6 'Heartbeat' displayed horizontally on a matte black composite surface, dramatic side-lighting revealing the brushed copper capacitor housings and heat-dissipation fins with deep orange patina. Gloved hand (black synthetic leather with subtle chrome knuckle reinforcements) gripping the rubberized polymer foregrip, fingers positioned on the trigger guard. Ultra-sharp focus on the narrow electromagnetic emission aperture and LED indicator strips showing amber charge status. Gunmetal-gray anodized aluminum catch reflects cool blue accent lighting. Moody neo-noir urban aesthetic with slight electromagnetic haze/glow effect around active vents. Studio lighting: 45-degree key light highlighting material texture and industrial geometry. Background suggests GLMZ corporate laboratory or military armory setting, slightly out of focus. --ar 3:2 --v 6

physical description

visual profile	A brutalist angular carbine with a distinctly asymmetrical profile. The weapon tapers from a bulbous, heat-sink-laden receiver to a narrow emission barrel. Its silhouette evokes something between a medical imaging device and a military targeting system—clinical and predatory.
dimensions	Overall length: 68 cm. Barrel section: 22 cm. Width across capacitor housing: 11 cm. Height with sight rail: 14 cm.
weight description	Noticeably front-heavy despite moderate total weight—the capacitor banks and emission matrix pull toward the barrel. Feels dense, purposeful, slightly unbalanced for prolonged one-handed operation.
primary material	Anodized aluminum chassis with integrated copper capacitor housings. Carbon-reinforced polymer foregrip and stock. Heat-dissipation fins are brushed steel.
finish	Matte charcoal aluminum with oxidized copper accents around the capacitor vents. Fingerprint-resistant coating shows micro-scratches from field use. Heat fins have a distinctive burnt-orange patina from electromagnetic stress discharge.
color scheme	Gunmetal gray primary with oxidized copper highlights. Accents of deep orange around active cooling zones. Black polymer furniture.
grip texture	Rubberized polymer grip with subtle diamond-knurl texturing for wet/augmented-hand purchase. Cool to the touch due to active heat dissipation into the stock.
distinctive features	Pronounced copper cooling fins wrapping the capacitor banks—visually dominant Narrow emission aperture with electromagnetic dampening grilles forming a subtle honeycomb pattern Three stacked LED indicator strips (charge status) along the left receiver—amber, blue, red Exposed capacitor cycling relay visible through translucent side panel—pulsing indicator of charge state Electromagnetic resonance dampers: small metal rings spaced along the barrel Iron Point Ammunition stamp: raised serif lettering on the magazine well Arcturus Defense Solutions corporate logo: a stylized compass rose etched into the receiver Faint scorch marks around ventilation ports from decades of pulse discharge
manufacturer markings	Iron Point Ammunition nameplate stamped in serif font on the magazine well area. Arcturus Defense Solutions compass-rose logo etched below the charging handle. Serial number embossed on the rear of the aluminum chassis in small numerals. Safety warnings in standardized military iconography molded into the polymer furniture.
condition typical	Usually encountered in mid-to-heavy field condition—cosmetic aluminum scoring from gear contact, oxidized copper with visible discharge burn patterns, and evidence of regular capacitor stress. Functional firearms are meticulously maintained internally but show exterior weathering consistent with restricted military/security deployment.
