Arrbi Betna
Marauder
Intent: Initially intended for hunting purposes, this type of bullet allows hunters who miss the vital organs of their targets to still bring home a kill. This helps all hunters galaxy-wide to bring in meat for the table and it aids big game hunters to take down the larger, more dangerous animals found on various worlds around the galaxy. The bullet is for hunting purposes and is only found in rifle calibers, but can be improperly re-purposed to military use.
Manufacturer: Mythosaur Munitions
Model: AC-RCO (Anti-Coagulant Rifle Caliber Only) Bullet
Affiliation: Mandalorian Manufactured, All Markets.
Modularity: None
Production: Capable of mass production, currently on limited production
Material: Lead bullet, Anti-coagulant fluid core, copper casing, chemical propellant.
Description: The bullet operates as all standard bullets do, but upon impact the bullet shatters. This serves three purposes: First, it causes fragments of the bullet to tumble through the target's body causing massive shock and trauma. Second, the core of anti-coagulant fluid ruptures in the vial held in the center of the bullet, spreading the fluid through the wound more or less evenly which causes the blood not to clot. Third, because the bullet fragments, the kinetic energy bleeds out preventing the round from punching through the target at all but the closest of ranges for safety purposes.
Bullet Weight: The bullets weigh a few grams each, and being solid ammunition they weigh more in bulk. Obviously, larger caliber ammunition weighs more than smaller ammunition and this weight is directly proportional to the amount of ammunition carried.
Caliber Range: AC-RCO are used in rifle calibers only ranging from from 7.62mm x 56mm bullets to .340 (.340in/8.6mm diameter bullets by 3.6in/91mm overall length). Anything higher is unnecessary as anything larger than .340 will kill or maim anything of average size without armor (whether artificial or natural). Anything lower is considered custom ammunition and will be made on an as needed basis. All pistol calibers are excluded from manufacturing at this time.
Range: Approximate range varies from rifle to rifle and bullet to bullet, but the average range of most hunting caliber slug throwers is 500 to 800 yards (about half a mile maximum). Planetary and geological locations can shorten or lengthen the shot depending on gravity, weather, atmospheric composition, etc.
Cost: AC-RCO bullets are sold in boxes of the same price as regular ammunition. However, because of the nature of specialty ammunition, specialized/custom ammunition boxes contain half as many bullets as Regular ammunition. This saves cost of manufacture while promoting maximized proftis (ex. 20-30 credits for a box of 20 7.62mm x 56mm regular rifle ammunition while 20-30 credits for a box of 10 7.62mm x 56mm AC-RCO ammunition).
Strengths: Causes severe bleeding, causes major shock and trauma, hard to dodge and deflect (slug thrower traits)
Weaknesses: After enough bleeding or proper medical aid (flushing the wound thoroughly) the fluid is washed out and the blood will clot, lack of bullet penetration, only available from Mythosaur Munitions (hard to get the further away from Mandalore you get), only available in rifle calibers.
