==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The Quasar is a semi-automatic, repeating revolver with an automatic secondary option. The Quasar's unique design is characteristically common of the Darra Polytechnic Corporation's marketing niche of being impressively appealing to the eye whilst not being of particularly decent quality in grade. The Quasar's drum magazine, located at the rear of the pistol, can hold up to 20 rounds, which are filled with birdshot, and effectively makes the Quasar a powerful machine pistol should the operator be able to charge it to capacity. The philosophy behind the choice of birdshot rounds is simple; projectile speed. Inside the Quasar's barrel, there are four electroconductive rails opposing one another, resulting in an incredible magnitude of force capable of shooting projectiles through half an inch of solid lead surface. True to Darra Polytechnic's nature, the pistol is made of low quality, cheap plastics and subpar metals that lower costs, making it an affordable purchase for the disparately poor.<ref name="GNH">Guns and Horses Advertisement</ref><ref name="CP2077">{{RefCP|2077}}</ref>

Because of the weapon's integrated systems, it is not possible to install a [[muzzle]] attachment, but a [[scope]] can always be installed.
