Guns can be purchased through the CCN Booth system. Both the Kraven Mk IV Laser and the Mass Ion Cannon are not yet available.
Stream Laser
The Stream Laser is a good, standard gun for beginners.
If you have more than two, then you are definitely a force to be reckoned
with. You can keep pounding away at something with these, because they
don't heat up as fast as other models.
Stream Laser Mk II
The Mk II version is a great long range weapon. It
delivers considerably more damage than the original, and although it will
overheat faster, it does not overheat as quickly as the Flux Beam.
Volt Laser
This is a favorite among close-up combat artists.
This weapon shines at close range, so don't fire until your target is under
150 klicks away. (If you like to destroy your opponents before they get
this close, this is not the weapon for you.) By using Volt Lasers in close
range combat, you may get by without a Coolant Unit, because you will fire
in shorter bursts as you bear down on target, then break off to avoid a
collision. Each time you break off you give your guns time to recharge
Flux Beam
This is a good long range weapon (i.e., between 200-250
klicks), although it isn't as powerful as the Mk II version, especially
towards the end of its range.
Flux Beam Mk II
This is the best long range gun, for it is effective
all the way up to 250 klicks. It's also a decent weapon up close, but not
as good as the Volt Laser.
Mass Ion Cannon
The Mass Ion Cannon is more affordable than it seems
because it doesn't overheat. Ever. This means you don't need to buy a Coolant
Unit. Mass Ion Cannon are most effective at short-to-medium range (up to
200 klicks).
Kraven Mk IV Laser
These guns deliver more damage than any other in the Tri-System. However, veteran pilots will warn you that they overheat in a matter of seconds, especially if you have more than one. Don't even think about loading multiple Kravens without a Coolant Unit Mk III or IV.
