What is the Caster Gun
Caster Guns:
At some point prior to the start of Outlaw Star, a form of weaponry existed known as casters. The Caster gun is a mixture of science and sorcery. Casters were relatively small handguns that when combined with caster shells, could unleash a massive amount of energy in various forms. Gene however, still prefers to use the caster and it quickly becomes a commonly seen weapon throughout Outlaw Star. The weapon itself is useless without its accompanying shells. The shells are organized by number, however, the higher the number does not make the shell more powerful. What is actually contained in the caster shells are potent magic spells. When fired the spells inside the shells are activated by the life force of the person frring the gun. As some of these spells are quite powerful, they draw a large amount of energy, and using several in succession has proven fatal.
Caster Shells:
Caster shells are the key element to any caster weapon. Without the shells, a gun is worth nothing more than a pretty paper weight. Twenty different types of caster shells exist. Shells #4,9, and 19 are the most rare types and powerfull using those three in succession could prove fatal. Each one has its own unique form of energy pattern that it puts out. Some shells release a focused beam of energy while others put out massive blasts of it. Caster shells are expensive and rare to come by. They, like their counterpart, the caster gun, are considered by most to be outdated technology. However, because casters are based on an entirely different technology, they prove to be an effective means against those who use Tao magic.
