Official description

Originally used by CityAdmin for crowd control at the launching sites of the first ships destined for the Irata-3 colony, the freezer fires a negative-ion pulse that is designed to slow the actions of the affected target. It does this by making neurons throughout the nervous system more negatively charged. This makes it harder, if not impossible for most neurons to create action potentials for a short time, thus stunning and disorienting the targeted individual. The freezer is powered by a small battery pack and is very energy efficient. Because of the specialized technology used in the freezer, it is rather large. A good weapon overall for crowd control, but somewhat heavy.

Characteristics

With standard amunition, this weapon deals damage.

Freezer weapon technology
