One of the smallest of the ion weapon family, the Ion Burster, despite a seemingly projectile output, is more closely related to ion beam weapons than to anything else. Indeed, the lower speed and packetized nature of the weapon's output are not so much desirable attributes as concessions: in order to make the weapon small enough to meet design specifications, the beam can only be pulsed, and infrequently at that. To compensate for this disability, the Ion Burster relies on specially prepared vaporization plates, rather than the homogeneous gas-streams feeding most ion weapons.
