The NO-M1-W2900 was developed for use with the NO-M1-1a - Mantus Infantry Power Armor, it became available in YE 29.
Carried by the power armor this large bulky looking rifle functions by firing a spike of tungsten-carbide encompassed in a perfect iron shell at supersonic velocities using a coilgun system of electromagnets. The rifle relies upon its own power source in the form of a fist sized quantum foam generator which provides it with all the energy it requires. The power of the round is exceptional, capable of penetrating considerable armor and with very high kinetic energy transfer causing great damage. It is very capable of being an anti-material rifle as well as used as a sniper rifle, making use of its great range. The weapon has a 0.60 calibre, and needs servicing every other combat situation to compensate for coil decay.
