Accelerator systems

Functionality
Accelerator systems are the most popular firing mechanism in the Known Galaxy, used primarily in small arms and regularly in heavier weapons.

It works in a way in which the internal components consist primarily of micro projectiles stored in a compact box, which are then heavily energized by a mini-particle accelerator powered by an energy magazine which serves as power supply for the particle accelerator. The accelerator is loaded with a projectile via the action of the bolt, which works automatically but has to be manually loaded in case of malfunction. The micro-projectile is then fired at a circumstantial speed, generating a harmless type of background radiation which is identified by its colorful glow.

This type of firing mechanism is the most broadly accepted one, and is known as an Accelerating Mechanism.
