BreachaNova Heavy Shotgun

The BreachaNova is a redesigned variant of the Supanova Infrared Shotgun intended for combat use rather than recreation. It was designed by Galactic Horizon in YE 40.

The BreachaNova was designed for the sole purpose of acting as a heavy breaching firearm to be used with power armour. This particular shotgun utilises larger-than-normal ammunition (which measures 10cm long, as opposed to the standard 6cm length 12 gauge ammunition), thus standard ammunition will not work with this weapon.

General information about the BreachaNova Heavy Shotgun, including the designer, manufacturer, some basic information, and a nomenclature tag.

The BreachaNova resembles the SupaNova IR Shotgun from the company's lasertag line; unlike the lasertag version, however, the BreachaNova comes in red instead white or black. It also retains the pump and hand-guard design and the short - but extendable - stock.

General information about the BreachaNova's discharge, including details of visible and audible actions and effective ranges.

• Muzzle Flash: A wide, bright cone of orange light is emitted from the barrel upon discharge.
• Retort: A reverberating bang accompanied by a loud thunk.
• Projectile Appearance: A large slug or close grouping of thick pellets depending on the shell used.
• Effective Range Depends on the shells used; overall, however, the BreachaNova is designed for extremely close quarters breaching operations.
• Rate of Fire: 1 shell per second, provided the user can pump the shotgun that fast.
• Recoil: Moderate with a lot of upward motion; recommended for use only with power armour or heavy strength-enhancing armour.

The various ammunition types used by the BreachaNova are intended to punch through walls and armour alike and include an explosive shell for special occasions.

• Purpose: Variable
