G9-GP Pulse Drill

The G9-GP Pulse Drill was a handheld, low-powered precision beamdrill designed for work in excavation and light duty mining. They appear as long, bulky units with a tank/tanks at one end and a variable-angle plasma cutter at the other. The beam emitted was a rapidly pulsing plasma beam around a millimeter thick with an adjustable range that allowed it to cut through relatively thick material. While they were primarily tools, their plasma beams made excellent improvised weapons in an emergency.
