Description: Designed and manufactured at the request of [REDACTED] as a top of the line sniper rifle intended more for the elimination of high value targets rather than battlefield operation, the rifle utilizes magnetic acceleration to propel projectiles extreme ranges with destructive results. Capable of smashing through duracrete, little stands to protect one not encased in highly protective armor (if hit would still result in HUGE amounts of internal trauma) besides a very strong sense of force precognition, and anyone hit unprotected is dead if hit center mass, if the shot catches so much as a finger the arm will be torn off by the sheer force. The drawbacks come in its single shot capability, the fact that the time taken to calibrate the targeting systems and acquire a shot would be in excess of an hour (again, as an assassination tool, the operator would have been long since set up before the shot), ridiculous noise level, extreme recoil, and weight. But, the weapon’s ability to strike for such range is unparalleled.
OOC Note: Largely intended for NPC targets, as the drawbacks would make use of the weapon in most IC situations pointless.
