Equipment Standards

Primary Small Arm

• 10x 7mm High Pressure Caseless (HPC) Battle Rifles
  • sound like modern rifles but make a much higher 'crack' due to specialized propellants.
• 2x 9.1mm HPC Carbines
  • high caliber, longer range HPC based rifle.
• 1x 12.7mm Rail Assisted Long Rifle
  • Hybrid rifle which uses caseless, high pressure rounds which are fired with propellant before being magnetically accelerated.
  • requires heavy RTG packs for the rail-assist
  • squad-mates typically carry extra battery packs.
  • used for light armor or fortifications.
  • mechanical "THUM" followed by a thunderclap. The rail-assist ionizes the air in the barrel, leaving a brief, glowing "tracer" of blue static that vanishes in a heartbeat.
