CURRENT LIST SHOWS WEAPONS AVAILABLE FOR ALL JAEGERS. [/b][/color] [/list] [center][hider=Weapons] [indent][b]S-11 Pulse Launcher:[/b] [indent]A stripped down version of the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/I-19_Plasmacaster]I-19 Plasmacaster[/url]. This weapon makes use of Mako Mori's upgrade designs for the Plasmacaster to create a scaled-down, rapidly charging rifle version for use on smaller Jaegers. While not as powerful as the I-19, typically delivering only one third of the hitting power, the S-11 only requires a three second charging period before firing. Its smaller capacitor system is extremely limited, only capable of firing a single shot before being fully discharged and requiring upto 73 seconds before reaching firing potential once more.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]WMB-H-118 Harpoon Warhead:[/b] [indent]An upgrade to the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/WMB2x90_Anti-Kaiju_Missile_Launcher]AKM[/url] which replaces the explosive warhead with a pronged spearhead designed to anchor itself within a Kaiju, allowing a small Jaeger to trap the target while larger, more heavily armed units close in for the kill. With a retractable polyduranide cable system the Harpoon can be recovered and reused in the field without requiring return to base for reloading, but due to the space requirements of the cable storage and motor system only one operational device can be attached to a single-pilot Jaeger, fully replacing its standard WMB2x90 package.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]WMB3x30-P Anti-Kaiju Plasma Launcher[/b] [indent]Lacking the chassis space to fit the full sized WMB2x90, smaller Jaegers were refitted with an upgraded plasma warhead system, allowing for greater long-term damage potential to their targets while using fewer individual delivery systems. Upon impact the warhead begin a cascading plasma reaction, which remains in effect for upto 20 seconds after delivery, causing extensive internal damage. While proven effective against most targets, the WMB3x30-P only uses four launch tubes, typically mounted as pairs either side of the Jaeger's chest, each equipped with three rounds for a total of twelve round per system.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]V-PI EnergyCaster[/b] [indent]The predecessor to current Plasmacaster technology, the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Coyote_Tango#Features]EnergyCaster[/url] instead used shock burst of electrical power to overwhelm a Kaiju's nervous system, much in the way a tazer would incapacitate a human, but on a much larger scale. Able to function in five different modulations, each requiring a progressively longer perido in order to fully charge, the EnrgyCaster can incapacitate a target allowing more heavily armed Jaegers time to move in for the kill. Repurposed for use on the newer, smaller single-pilot Jaegers this weapon can act as a highly effective disruptive weapon system.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]Gatling Chest[/b] [indent]Designed as a cheap and easy solution to longer ranged combat with the Kaiju, the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Romeo_Blue#Features]Gatling Chest[/url] mounts severeal high calibre cannons in place of the more traditional AKM system, allow for more peresistant, if far less damaging attacks. The Gatling Chest is mianly used for holding actions, where the priority is to delay the target rather than destroy it, such as when evacuation procedures are ongoing, heavier Jaegers are moving into range or targets are required to be captured alive for study and analysis.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]Rail Gun[/b] [indent]Originally designed for conventional warfare the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Wolf_Queen#Features]Rail Gun[/url] was quickly repurposed and redesigned to function as part of a Jaeger's arsenal. While potentially capable of delivering grievously crippling blows to its targets at long range, the Rail Gun has very limited ammunition (12 shots for twin-pilot Jaegers, 9 for single-pilot models) and requires absolute stability to achieve a successful hit, making it an unpopular choice amongst most Jaeger designers and pilots.[/indent][/indent] [indent][b]Wave Laser[/b] [indent]While lacking the hitting power of most munition based and plasma weapons the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Redflag_Horowitz#Features]Wave Laser[/url] is easily controlled and targeted due to its persistent attack style and long battery life. Capable of being set to a variable range of focuses, from wide wave dispersal to precision cutting beam, the Wave Laser is a highly adaptable battlefield tool, if not the most effective weapon.[/indent][/indent] [b]Brass Knuckles[/b] A set of temperature-resistant brass-steel compound casts set around the joints of each finger extension, the 4.211 [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Striker_Eureka#Features]"Brass Knuckles"[/url] greatly add to the impact potential of each punch. [b]Sting-Blades[/b] A pair of twin retractable Assault Mount 3.25 [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Striker_Eureka#Features]"Sting-Blades"[/url] laced with carbon nanotubes that channel thermal energy at temperatures over three hundred degrees Fahrenheit, wounding and cauterizing Kaiju in close combat. [b]Cryo Blasters[/b] By ejecting super-coolant from shoulder-mounted cryo tanks, the [url=http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Horizon_Brave#Features]Cryo Blasters[/url] allow a Jaeger to perform a "sub-zero suckerpunch" freezing and damaging the area of impact when the punch manages to hit its target. The ejection process normally takes between 3-5 seconds to prepare before a blow can be struck, normally forcing the Jaeger pilot to pin an enemy before activating the system. The super-coolant may also be ejected directly from the tanks to flash freeze anything directly in front of the Jaeger, but such a maneuver drains all available super-coolant, disabling the system until the Jaeger can return to base to refuel. [b]Tesla Fists[/b] Z14 Fists are powered by Tesla cells, allowing for a formation of simultaneous electric arc impulse, with force up to 415kv into a Kaiju, usually to the effect of smashing both fists to induce maximum current at the sides of a Kaiju's head, usually stunning or incapacitating most targets.

Mechanical components and equipment are stored in the Engineering Workshops on level 2, medical supplies are held in the Medical Bay on level 3, food supplies are held in the Mess Hall on level 5 and ammunition and munitions supplies are held in the Armoury also on level 5. 2 - Although the Jaeger Hangar descends the full depth of the Shatterdome and has accessways on every level the two main access routes are on level 5 for the hangar floor and level 2 for maintenance access and Jaeger transferring to the Engineering Workshops for refit and repair. 3 - While previously dedicated to only the maintenance and repair of operational Jaegers the Engineering Workshops have now passed under the banner of the Research and Development Department in order to create new technologies for the latest Jaegers in the field. 4 - Evacuation points are available on every level of the Shatterdome, but as non-essential personnel are confined to level 4 during combat operations a dedicated drop shaft leading to a sub-level monorail is accessible on this level for rapid evacuation of the majority of the base's personnel should it be required. 5 - Main power core access is located on level 5, however the core itself is set into the sea bed beneath the base, so that it may easily be flooded in case of catastrophic containment failure.[/i][/color][/sub][/indent]
