SR-1 | Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Carbine

Information:

The SR-1, commonly referred to as the Pulse Carbine, is an early-generation directed energy rifle deployed by the Overwatch Transhuman Arm (OTA) prior to the standardization of the AR2. Lightweight and modular, the SR-1 bears a structural resemblance to late 21st-century human firearms, making it a familiar—if terrifying—sight during early Combine occupation phases.

Despite being a standard-issue weapon within the OTA, the SR-1 is rarely seen by civilians due to its restricted deployment protocols. Primarily utilized by Ordinals and Biotic Containment Units, it is often absent from routine Civil Protection operations or urban suppression sweeps. The only species likely to call the SR-1 “common” are the Vortigaunt Tribes, who are frequently hunted by Combine teams equipped with this weapon, owing to the threat Vort-kind pose when unshackled.

The SR-1 fires condensed pulse rounds from compact cylindrical energy cartridges mounted beneath the barrel assembly. Each cartridge contains enough charge for approximately 24 shots, with each pulse round carrying enough kinetic and thermal energy to easily penetrate kevlar and light armor. Though armor-piercing in function, pulse rounds differ significantly from conventional AP munitions: instead of simply piercing tissue, the round delivers an immense transfer of impact force, coupled with searing heat capable of instantly cauterizing or vaporizing flesh around the entry point.

The result is often fatal even from non-vital hits, as the combination of force and thermal trauma causes catastrophic disruption to internal structures, reducing the likelihood of recovery or resistance.

Technical Document

Development:

With the world now secured by the Combine and APCs became the mainstay policing vehicles of the Civil Protection, the members of the Administration saw the need for a more off-road and robust version of the original APC-14. This is where a few cities dedicated some resources to, creating the first concept design of the ATC was released to the Protection Leadership in 2009.

With the design shown and some recommendations actioned, the first buildable design was made in 2011, the first production vehicle to hit the roads showing its versatility of various types of terrain using an AWD system and adjustable suspension, allowing it to easily climb steep hills, sandy, wet or even in some cases icy terrain. It was approved for full production in late 2011.

Design:

The ATC-C-155 is a larger version of the Combine APC capable of carrying up to 10 to 15 Civil Protection Units. Mainly functioning as a transport vehicle similar to the original APC-14 but with a large variety of modifications and systems engineering, one such improvement is its armour plating as well as its newly improved MPPT-2 turret capable of firing 1600 bullets per minute. Another feature consists of its ability to carry far more units compared to its smaller brother as well as donning a frontal dark energy engine allowing it to travel at speeds of 75km/h on off-road terrain and providing a speed boost uphill or mountainous areas. Its suspension is superior to the APC-14 due to the larger wheel size and rainforest body frame.

There also exists the -1 and -2 variants of the ATC-C-155. The -1 variant of the ATC swaps out its transport system for a Command and Control center for on the move Outland Operations. The Command variant comes equipped with improved reactive armour plating, as well as a light-weight design, allowing the vehicle to transform into a FOB when not moving. Due to the weight increase from the Command and Utilities, it features a dual frontal dark-energy engine allowing it to travel at speeds of 105km/h on off-road terrain and providing a speed boost uphill or mountainous zones, this works in conjunction with its improved suspension, utilizing a reinforced frame and stronger hydraulics.

The -2 variant is the Utility version of the ATC, while not much different from its original counterpart, this vehicle is designed more for combat than transporting. Featuring a inbuilt weapon and ammo rack to supply local forces, as well as providing a new armament to the vehicle which is the DPC-4 (Direct-Fire Pulse Cannon). Similar to the -1, it also utilizes the same Dual-Engine setup.

CV-1000 | Early Stun-Baton

CV-1000 Stun Baton

Civil Protection Series | First-Issue Enforcement Tool | Generation One Compliance Device

The CV-1000 Stun Baton represents the earliest standard-issue compliance tool deployed by Civil Protection units during their global emergence following the Combine’s ascension. Based on crude pre-war law enforcement designs, the CV-1000 was rapidly developed by Combine sub-manufacturing arms to serve as an accessible yet brutal tool of direct population control.

Design and Construction

At its core, the CV-1000 is a reinforced melee device consisting of a rubber-insulated alloy handle fused with a conductive metal shaft, enhanced by a shock-guarded grip ring that shields the internal activation switch. This guard not only prevents accidental discharges but also mitigates disarmament in close-quarters combat, allowing a Civil Protection unit to maintain a firm grip even during aggressive engagements.

The striking end of the baton is built from densified Combine composite plating — both electrically conductive and structurally resistant to fracture. Basic internal wiring channels a constant high-voltage output from a compact power cell embedded in the handle, enabling instantaneous current transfer upon contact with a target.

Unlike later-generation models, the CV-1000 lacks modular voltage control or impact dampeners. It delivers full charge output with each strike, regardless of the situation. This crude yet effective design was favored during the earliest crackdowns, where displays of absolute force served both tactical and psychological objectives.

Operational Use and Public Response

While later batons would introduce regulated compliance settings to better serve across variable threat levels, the CV-1000 was not designed with restraint in mind. A single active strike could incapacitate most unarmored targets instantly, and two consecutive blows were typically sufficient to render even hardened resisters unconscious or immobile.

Due to its lack of safety modulation, many early detainees referred to it grimly as "the Re-Educator." Reports from relocated sectors describe intense neuro-muscular disruption, involuntary collapse, and memory blackouts following exposure. Civil Protection logs indicate that excessive use occasionally resulted in neurological damage, cardiac distress, or death — though such outcomes were categorized internally as “acceptable collateral for optimal behavioral compliance.”

As time passes and newer-generation stun batons are in development, the CV-1000 is planned to be phased out in frontline urban centers. However, it is expected to remain in deployment within less stabilized or lower-priority sectors, where its raw intimidation factor and proven durability continue to serve the interests of Civil Protection doctrine.
