Can't have stalkers like you biting down at my heels every instant when we get back to the real-time continuum." "Sure, reprogram it. I don't care much for the big companies losing cash, but my politician bosses do. But I'm probably retiring and going into criminal law, as a public defender, considering you and whoever brought us here messed up my promotion" said Francois, shaking his head. "Well, let's focus on getting back your PC and my gun."

In fact, Francois could have got an experimental energy handgun, but he would have to carry a taser and he didn't appreciate the extra weight, considering he needed the rifle anyway. Also, overcharging an energy weapon was a sure way to cause a fatal explosion. Thus, he had to get Timerider back, at all costs. It was reversed engineered from a dwemer blueprint by himself.

(Energy rifles are common in 8th era, but to compress high power capacitors and aetherium batteries into a handgun is ... hard. Plus the barrel of a handgun is shorter, so the coils need more power...)
