Type-145 Anti-Material Rifle "Barking Scorpion"

Producer: Outland Industries

Class: Heavy Cybernetic Platform Armament

Action: Short recoil, gas assisted

Caliber: 14.5 x 114 mm APHEI, telescope case

Firing rate: 600 rpm

Effective range: 3000 m horizontal, 2000 m vertical at standard habitation levels

Muzzle velocity: 1012 m/s at standard habitation levels

 

Nicknamed the "Barking Scorpion" due to its association as the primary paired weapon of the SCRP-10N model Heavy Cybernetic Platform and its distinctive firing report.

 

Calling this a rifle is a bit dubious due to its ridiculous proportions and firepower. Fully automatic and feeding from a linkless feed system as either a backback or more commonly from the internal ammunition bay of a HCP. A recoiling barrel and internal counter-recoil systems are used to mitigate as much of the recoil as possible.

 

Paired with a CyberLink Broadspectrum Ballistic Scope allow a sufficiently trained cyborg to lay withering fire on enemy infantry and light vehicles, humans and others alike.

 

Like all equipment from Outland Industries the Type-145 is packed with redundant components and capabilities. In case the linkless feed belt is damaged it can be easily dropped off and operation may continue from detachable 4 round magazines until repairs can be assumed.
