Tesla Gun



The Tesla Gun (pronounced as Vunder Vaffeh by Edward) is a weapon that appears in the Survival game setting of the Smurf Village Imaginarium in the HERO: The Guardian Smurf story series.

Background Information
The Tesla Gun was added to the setting as many of the Smurfs complained about it being too boring using only a bellows and wanted different ways of eliminating the purple Smurf horde.

Hero and Handy later created and developed the weapon in the setting to make sure it works and wasn't too powerful. It took them many attempts to fix as it would continously have problems ranging from not eliminating the purple Smurfs to the lightning not chaining to more than one purple Smurf. They finally fixed it, with thw end result being that the lightning can only chain to 10 purple Smurfs in a single shot.

According to the setting's coding, the weapon is packed with 200,000 amperes of devastating chained electrical current. However, in order for it to effectively work, the purple Smurfs should be nearby each other. The Tesla Gun has three cartridges on the side for ammunition, and 15 reserved, totaling 18. This gives it a maximum killing potential of 180 enemies. These unique attributes make it an ideal room-clearing weapon.

The Tesla Gun is powered by raw lightning. It generates electricity which is contained in three tesla power-tubes (that resemble light bulbs) (these tubes increase the voltage of the gun so that it does infinite damage), that the player reloads into it. Whenever the player reloads it, they have to eject the vacuum tubes and insert new ones before pulling on a lever, lighting up the power cells and putting the Tesla Gun back into a firing mode. It takes players about six seconds to fully reload without Fast Hands.

The Tesla Gun can damage the user if it's fired at a purple Smurf or object too close to them.

Trivia

 * The idea behind the Tesla Gun is based on the Wunderwaffe DG-2 wonder weapon from the Zombies mode of the Call of Duty video game series.
