12.7mm Mass Driver Rounds

While mass driver rounds are not new technology to the SMDIoN, they were not a staple of its armories as compared to other forms of firearms technology.

As part of the YE 34 move to organize Nepleslia's logistics, NAM created the 12.7mm mass driver round as the Power Armor-grade mass driver round. These rounds are only available for DIoN forces and not for sale to public or other private buyers.

SLAP round

The basic 12.7mm round meant to be an all-comers round. It incorporates a sabot, which allows for the use of a penetrator projectile of a smaller diameter than the original bore. By using the casing of a large cartridge with a lightweight projectile, the velocity of the projectile and its penetrative capability are increased

Stats

  • Caliber: 12.7mm x 100mm
  • Damage Description: A saboted penetrator used to better penetrate armor than a solid slug. It fragments after penetrating its target, and can cause spalling even on ricochets.
  • Effective Range: Depends on muzzle velocity
  • Muzzle Velocity: Depends on railgun used
