Farrynhite, Architect of Destruction
GC Kinetics MAG-50
.50 cal magnetically assisted anti-biological gun.
"Guaranteed to put down your neighbourhood abomination, or your money back!"
- Informal advertisement from GC Kinetics.
A high-power sidearm jointly developed by GC Kinetics, Archwell Defense, and Barton Precision Industries (with GC spearheading the project), at the behest of the International Security and Defense Force (ISDF).
The rising threats of humanoid autonomous combat systems (HACS) saw the development of anti-HACS weapons being carried out on a massive scale by many arms manufacturers. The MAG-50 is one of many weapons produced from this surge, featuring a revolutionary armor-piercing frangible round.
Due to the HACS' ability to withstand an immense amount of damage courtesy of experimental armor, accelerated regeneration, extensive use of pain inhibitors and several other factors, the aforementioned round was designed to neutralize most (if not all) inherent advantages within a single strike.
The .50 cal. APFN-EMADS (Armor Piercing Fragmenting Necro-toxin, Electro-Magnetically Assisted Discarding Sabot) round deals with the HACS enhanced combat abilities in three phases: First, the primary armor piercing module punches through most conventional anti-ballistic armor thanks to an increased muzzle velocity (courtesy of the magnetically powered barrel). Next, upon reaching the optimal location for fragmentation, the round ejects eight shards, which, in conjunction with the primary module, greatly increases the chances of striking a vital area (such as the heart or brain) - the shards themselves possess excellent yawing cavitation to maximize damage dealt. Finally, once the shards have settled, a necro-toxin is released from the primary module, inhibiting natural healing factors and generally making the target more susceptible to conventional fire.
Since the rounds do not rely on gunpowder to propel each round, the MAG-50 boasts excellent recoil control, which makes follow up shots easy. However, due to the size of each round, magazine capacity is limited to just eight rounds.
Other features include a match barrel, illuminated sights, and a laser aiming module.
