TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Classification: 6.8 mm x 43 mm Specialty Ammunition
- Size: Large
- Weight: Average
- Explosive Type: None - It's a kinetic penetrator
- Delivery Method: Shot out of any weapon chambered for 6.8 mm x 43 mm cased ammunition.
- Effective Range: Long Range - Maximum effective range of the round in perfect conditions is 4,000 meters, accurate range depends on weapon system fed into.
- Area Of Effect: Pinpoint - It's a non-explosive bullet
- Stopping Power: Extreme
- Bullet itself is relatively heavy providing very consistent trajectories regardless of the atmospheric conditions and giving it massive amounts of momentum when it hits hard armor.
- Bullet is shaped so that while it flies through the air it sheds its plasteel sabot, and the fin stabilized dart will slam into whatever it hits delivering it's kinetic energy payload onto a single point of a target, rendering cloth armor effectively useless, and anything but heavy armor is essentially negated.
- This round's kinetic payload is extreme. It's designed to punch through all but the most extreme of armors, and even then you're gonna feel like you were just hit with a 15 pound sledgehammer.
- This round is also multi-purpose because you can put it any magazine designed for the round or even link it together to feed into the General Purpose Machine Gun.
- It's a kinetic penetrator. It doesn't have an explosive charge which means whatever you hit, is gonna go away or have a giant hole in it. It's not gonna explode and take off the guy's arm or cause massive burns, instead it just punches holes in whatever it hits.
- The round is single use, meaning once it's used it's used. It's not like a blaster pack that has hundreds of charges, it's literally one shot per round.
A part of The Dire Wolves ammunition upgrade program, this weapon is designed purely for penetrating physical armor of enemy combatants. This round utilizes a armor penetrating dart to direct all of the round's energy onto a single point, and when the round encounters cloth or fiber based armor, the needle point of the dart weaves its way through said armor to continue to deliver its payload to the target underneath. This round is meant to kill armor wearing targets without shields, and while it won't explode or burn its way through the target, when said target is riddled with holes and is hemorrhaging profusely through said holes, that's a pretty effective system as well.
