+ | The MAW is a Anti-Armor Infantry weapon that can be used from extreme range. It was designed from the bottom up to penetrate an armor shell and kill the pilot inside without notably damaging the armor itself. Originally created to only carry biological payloads, it was quickly realised that IRIS shells could have a much broader array of possible payloads. In theory any non-self-propelled ammunition can be used, as the MAW can have its barrel resized with some effect to muzzle velocity. | ||

The MAW appears as a large anti-material rifle with designs aesthetically similar to that of Nepleslia. A rail for optics can be seen above as well as divets on either side to mount more rails or attachments. A bipod can be mounted to the front for long range shots as well as a small stand at the rear. Holes can be seen in the barrel, while the gun is powered by compressed air, these holes prevent the internal pressure differential from tearing the barrel apart. | The MAW appears as a large anti-material rifle with designs aesthetically similar to that of Nepleslia.

As the weapon needs only be powered by compressed air due to the aerodynamic nature of each IRIS round as well as the reduced weight from being hollow, the recoil and sound of the rifle are minimal. This allows excellent stealth as well as the potential to rapid fire between targets with considerably more accuracy than recoil-heavy weapons. | As the weapon needs only be powered by compressed air due to the aerodynamic nature of each IRIS round as well as the reduced weight from being hollow, the recoil and sound of the rifle are minimal.

The ammunition used for the MAW is the IRIS round. These shells are designed to bypass the protection afforded by power armor via massive armor piercing potential. Once the corrosive-tipped shells bury themselves in the metal on impact, the payload is released into the pilot therein. | The ammunition used for the MAW is the IRIS round.

- | + | The main firing mechanisms for this weapon are the air compressor, which gives a primary propulsion to the ammo fired and the ammo selection system, which gives the operator the ability to change between the different shells in a magazine on the fly as long as the operator keeps a mental note on what remains. While the weapon can be changed to automatic fire with decent RPM, this is generally ill advised. As many operators load varying shells into one magazine, emptying the magazine into a general area can cause very unwanted side effects. | |
