Chapter 27 - The Gothic Antiproton Rifle's Effects on the Humanoid Body (Patreon)

When I envisioned what Gothic's antiproton rifle (firing in that mode) would do to the humanoid body, my mind kept flashing back to the new Halo series and the Covenant's attack on the planet Madrigal.  The Covenant weapons effected those people in a way that matched what I envisioned and it's very different from the effects you'd see from energy weapons in the Star Trek universe.

My weapons’ antiproton beam/pulse didn’t cut, per se, it was more akin to annihilating the matter of their bodies, but not cauterizing the surrounding flesh. Getting shot with an antiproton pulse was like a God took an ice cream scoop to the body, or maybe it was better to describe it like someone had transported away a huge chunk of your chest and with that chunk missing all the blood just fell right out of you. At a high enough setting, it was like the body just burst or exploded into pieces. The mundane armors a few of the Cardassians had worn hadn’t even stopped the effect.
