**Tournament Final** Scottish Industrial Armaments - Nemesis Line - Virion Limpet Rifle

Scottish Industrial Armaments – Virion Limpet Rifle

 

 

Having observed both sides of the bitter stalemated conflict on the planet below us for the last half cycle, we have come to the conclusion that eradicating the threat posed by IgneTek and forming an alliance with Kyani is the best chance for our survival.

 

 

Our supplies are running low, the air locks barely keeping our wounded vessel from vacuum flooding; it is now imperative that we set up a station on the surface.

 

 

Having studied IgneTek forces, it has become apparent that their armour, as with that of Kyani troops, is impenetrable to conventional firearms and energy weapons; even the most concentrated of lasers barely graze their nanomail armour. However, they do have a weakness.

 

 

Located on their backs is a respirator/air purification system that allows them to function normally in the harsh surface environment. Our on board armoury have developed a weapon capable of exploiting this weakness.

 

 

The Virion fires a fin stabilised projectile with a high explosive round – mid flight, the tip splits into three magnetic tipped prongs designed to latch onto nanomail armour, exploding on contact. This however barely leaves a mark on the armour. Instead, it is a delivery method for a highly virulent airbourne neurotoxin, injected into each round as the trigger is pulled via a secondary magazine housed in the upper rear receiver.

 

 

On explosion, the toxin is absorbed by the respirator unit, causing near instantaneous shut down of all major nervous systems, crippling the lungs, brain and finally the heart. Death blooms in less than a minute. A secondary airburst fire mode allows for mid flight detonation, useful for neutralising groups of combatants.

 

 

The offset scope features a point lock mode that can be used to guide rounds to designated targets.

 

 

To ensure the weapon is unaffected by the surface’s violently cold environment we have reverse engineered captured extra terrestrial weapons technology. As a result, all electrical systems such as the scope, HUD, laser sight and chemical injection module are insulated by a lightweight organic crystalline mesh structure capable of operating beyond temperatures of -2500°C.
