AMAZON Tech: S.W.I.T.C.H. Guns

Description

Formerly the Neurosys Beam Rifle.

The System Wide Invasive Transmission for Corrupting Hard drives, or SWITCH gun is the standard infantry rifle for AMAZON ground forces, and "game changing" element for the AMAZON war effort.

Firing, or rather transmitting, universally encoded, jacketed data-streams of answerless Sartreian conundrums, at a cyclic rate of 800 posits a second, SWITCH guns bypass all of an artificial intelligence's physical and software defenses and forces their electronic brains to collapse upon themselves.

Imagine every motherboard frying logic bomb that Captain Kirk ever dropped on an evil computer during TOS's run, fed into an artificial intellect all at once!

Much in the same way human lungs are actually more prone to metabolize harmful carbon monoxide than oxygen, Synthetic Sentient processors have great difficulty avoiding or ignoring the riddles and perplexities bombarding them.

The more advanced an AI is, the more susceptible they are to the effects of the SWITCH gun.

The physical manifestation of the beams effects can be quite spectacular. Robot heads have been known to pop off like corks, leaving their chassis to lumber around in mechanical death throes spewing roman candle sparks from their necks. Others just fall down like broken marionettes. In any case, the mass production of these weapons is a great cause for robotic "concern."

It was when SWITCH's first came into widespread use, that the Robolords actually attempted to meet with AMAZON leadership on neutral Husquon ground to discuss the limitation of their use in combat. Talks rapidly deteriorated when the 'bots failed to comprehend why the AMAZON's requested the liberation of some of the captive maid population in exchange for the consideration.

The machines quite simply did not see what bearing one thing had upon the other.

SWITCH guns, being lighter and more effective in many cases than projectile, or even coherent light weapons, have proven exceedingly popular with AMAZON troops, who give their sidearms affectionate nicknames, like "Off-SWITCH", "Kill-SWITCH", "SWITCH-eroo", "SWITCH'y-poo", and "Wicked SWITCH."
