DESCRIPTION:
The HardTek PB-9S is a slightly longer version of the PB-9 designed for covert operations. Like its predecessor, the PB-9S also shares the concept of a small plasma chamber integrated into the frame of a compact shoulder weapon. Unlike its contemporary cousin, the PB-9S has been designed to emit no visible light and virtually no noise in its operation.
The PB-9S was designed for and is sold specifically to military and law-enforcement organizations. Due to the specific features of this product we cannot allow orders from individuals who are not official representatives of state-sponsored military organizations or law enforcement divisions.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Length: 70 cm
Width: 6 cm
Height: 20 cm
Weight: 2.0 kg (unloaded)
Accessory Mount: 1 Type III mount & 1 Type IV mount
HISTORY:
Development of the HardTek PB-9S was the result of our weapons engineers attempting to fit a larger and more efficient heat exchanger on the standard PB-9 weapon. Our engineers found that a larger heat exchanger when modified to work with the PB-9’s smaller plasma chamber can significantly reduce the operational noise of the weapon.
It was noted that most of the sound that the PB-9 emits are during its firing are from the cooling of the chamber. This is because high-temperature gasses leaving the weapon create an audible shockwave in the surrounding atmosphere as they escape. HardTek engineers set about to develop a larger heat exchanger by utilizing the larger frame that the PB-9 had, in that endeavor they created the PB-9S.
FEATURES:
The HardTek PB-9S incorporates stealth into its design with two major features.
The first is that the frequency of the normally visible tracer has been increased to the infrared range, which is out of the visible spectrum. Observers of the PS-9S may see fast-moving distortions in the atmosphere as the blaster bolts move from muzzle to target, but the bright colored marker common to blaster weapons is now invisible. This modification makes it difficult see that the weapon is being fired and does not give away the users position to the enemy.
The second major change from the standard PB-9 is the much larger heat exchanger. While most other blasters sound like a klaxon being fired, the PB-9S makes little more noise than a whisper. Observers note that the actual noise emitted by the weapon sounds more like slight puff of air, but most importantly it sounds nothing like what a standard blaster would.
The weapon still retains the compact design of the PB-9, making it an ideal choice for shipboard and indoor operations. The folding stock can be collapsed for extremely close quarters or extended for accuracy and control over longer ranges.
The HardTek PB-9S has an energy matrix can accommodate one standard power pack and an energy cell. The heat exchanger did not reduce the efficiency of the weapon, and it still proudly boasts 100 shots per full-charged power pack. The energy cell can power a targeting computer for 25 hours, assuming one is installed. Designers also included an innovative built-in power-link that can attach to a power generator for sustained operation and to recharge the energy matrix.
Unlike the PB-9, the PB-9S does not come with an integral targeting computer, but instead features two accessory mounts for maximum flexibility.
The weapon features a Type III accessory mount located below the barrel like the PB-9. This accessory mount can be used to install optional components that conform to the HardTek accessory mount Type I, or Type II, or Type III standards. The Type III accessory mount differs from the Type II found on the PB-9 in that it not only integrates with the firing electronics, but it also has a direct link to the weapon’s energy matrix. This allows a user to install accessories that can draw from or augment the weapons energy matrix; examples of such are the MS-3 electro-stunner and the ME-3 extended energy matrix. Even with this advancement, users can also opt to install more common accessories such as the MK-1 and the ML-2.
Running along the top of the weapon following its axis the user will find the second accessory mount. On the PB-9 a CATS-1 targeting computer would normally occupy this space, but instead it is left open as a Type IV accessory mount. Having little in common with the Type I through Type III mounts, the HardTek Type IV mount is designed exclusively to accommodate targeting computers, and is incompatible with Type I, Type II, or Type III accessories.
While the weapon does not come standard with a targeting computer, one such as a CATS-1 that conforms to HardTek Type IV accessory mount standards can be purchased and easily installed into the weapon. This modularity allows a prospective user to select the specific type of targeting computer that suits their needs.
Customers who register their PB-9 with Hardtek are entitled to a 3-standard year transferable-warranty.
