Taurus 15 CQC - Mk. II

My newest upload, haven't contributed in god knows how long.

 

The Taurus 15 is named so because the special ammunition, which only this weapon is chambered in, hits like a charging bull and can easily knock armored foes on their ass.

 

The T-15 (The shortened name) is often issued in Private Sector security firms, and the CQC variant is widely used on starships. The tight quarters makes a full-sized firearm unwieldy, but the PDW size of the T-15 allows for easy handling.

 

Common sense would dictate that a hard-hitting rifle without a stock would be very inefficient. The T-15 Mk. It was notorious for its accuracy-hampering recoil, throwing shot groups off wildly. The weapon's developers at Heliarc Industries realized this fatal flaw after first release, and have since improved the design.

 

The T-15 is a hybrid of gunpowder and gauss technology. A smaller cartridge is used now, resulting in a superbly manageable recoil pattern, while a small series of electronic coils inside the weapon accelerate the already gas-propelled projectile. As such, the smaller round achieves astonishing speeds, clocked at upwards of 6000 m/s.

 

A small, but highly lethal package.

 

Atuhor's nose: The magazine is part of the SCAR stock, the bolt is part of the ACR adjustable stock, and the rear sling bracket is the trigger guard of the M203 :D
