A powerful energy weapon, the bright burst is an elegant weapon that is often found in garish if somewhat impractical designs. When fired it shoot a powerful heat beam which can scorch most target and release a high amount of energy, dealing both bludgeoning and fire damage, only resistance or immunity to both apply. A bright burst pistol consume a single Energy Cell each time it fire and contain twelves of them at a time, reloading a bright burst pistol take a move action.

A bright burst pistol may be treated as a martial weapon, however a character with the appropriated exotic weapon proficiency feat may add her Dexterity bonus to damage when using a bright burst pistol and gain the following Weapon Arts:

Blinding Shot: Whenever you roll a confirmed critical hit against a target it must make a Reflex save (DC 10 +1/2 BaB + Dexterity modifier) or become blinded for 1 round then dazzled for a minute. A successful save only cause the target to become dazzled.

Elegant Sidearm: You may treat the bright burst pistol as alight weapon for the purpose of determining the penalties to two-weapon fighting.

Supercharge: As a swift or attack action the wielder of a bright burst pistol may overcharge it, if she does the next shot deal double weapon damage and is resolved as a touch attack. A bright burst pistol may only stay supercharged for up to 5 round, then it automatically discharged it energy, while supercharged the bright burst pistol is under the effect of an extraordinary heat metal from the overheating.
