Utterly Mad

So, this isn't technically my channel, but it does belong to someone I work closely with in real life.

I end up on Stream fairly regularly, and he streams everyday (mostly CS:GO). He's also mega spooked by the idea of advertising.

Anyhow, I figured if any of you were sitting around bored and without anything of interest to do, you could give him a check.

Because why not.

Also because I said so.

So do it.

Pretty plz?

I make potato salad jokes!

I use Roll20, but I can't be positive if I'll be available much.

Went ahead and added a little segment for Cost at the top.

So, how is everyone lately?

You know, if a Norwegian robot examines a bird, then it's... Scandinavian.

Description:
The first product of Dragon Industries, the Maiman Rifle is named after the man who created the first laser prototype centuries ago. It is meant to act as a standard-issue weapon with a focus upon efficiency; both in cost, and in firepower. The Maiman is produced using non-trans-Newtonian materials in an attempt at cost-efficiency, though this does mean that it suffers slightly in durability when compared to products such as the S.I.R rifle. The Maiman makes up for this in several different ways.

First, and foremost, the laser beam launched by the Maiman rifle travels at the speed of light, and is thereby effectively impossible to evade provided that the shooter is trained. Secondly, the Maiman rifle suffers from absolutely zero recoil as its projectile is light itself, and thereby does not suffer from the usual issues of firing matter bullets. Third, the Ytterbium doped fibre amplifier which is used allows for industrial level cutting power from the rifle, allowing it to sear through pesky obstacles such as enemy armor or interfering walls.

Concerned buyers may be asking now: But Dragon Industries, how does the Maiman rifle work without being so over the top expensive that it would bankrupt our entire military and waste literally the whole budget just by existing?

Well customer, the Maiman rifle operates using Ytterbium doped fibre amplifiers which allow for the gain medium(Phosphate glasses doped with laser-active ions)/ (fancy terminology for the electrical transition from a higher to lower form of energy state) to be amplified. How? The gain medium is bounced back and forth between a series of internal mirrors, and are allowed to pass over the amplifiers several times. Pumping occurs from an electrical current (Which is provided by your handy dandy power pack!) and allows the gain medium to pick up some killing power over its several trips. After a few dozen of these trips, your laser is ready to do some serious damage, and is automatically transferred to a final mirror which diverts the amplified energy beam outwards through your barrel and directly into that scumbag who threatened humanities finest!

Sadly, lasers do require some time to build up the killing energy necessary to bring down our united foes, and that means that the device must be turned on before use. Energy will gradually be drained from the power pack, which means that the device only lasts something like twenty minutes before it is completely drained. Thankfully, due to some very clever engineering (We hooked a current strength detector to the power pack, and then wired that into the internal mirror control), the lasers will change color depending on how much ammunition is remaining, meaning that you're never caught off guard! For reference, here's a brief rhyme to help you remember!

"Blue means that I can shoot back too! Green means my power is almost through! Red means that my powerpack has nothing left to do!"

And that's it! The Maiman can be yours for the low, low price of eight-hundred Terran dollars! If that's not a deal, then I don't know what is!

And remember:

I remember back in my day, Last Man Posting was full of posters, and the conversations never ended!

Thems were the good ole times, m'boy.
