When the HCG was brought to the open market by Zen Armaments, they did their best to create ammunition particular to it. While there are similar-sized rounds and shells that might fit the gun through slight experimentation, the following are designed and manufactured for those who want to utilize the Delsaurian "Gutter-Rake" HCG.
This table will reflect a quick guide to the ammunition types, casing colors, and damages/stats.
Name | Casing Color | Damage |
---|---|---|
12 Gauge HCG | Red | T3 |
.72 Caliber Rifle Round HCG | Red and Green split down the bullet with black | T3 |
8 Gauge HCG | Yellow and Black Hazard lines | T4 |
While Zen has many rounds that could have worked, they wanted a nice middle-ground with the Delsaurians. A buckshot round with a powerful jacket to endure the initial starting velocity, the 12 Gauge HCG is possibly one of the more hard-to-wreck bullets around. This impressive shell means that even when the round does not part and scatter, the weight and the skin can turn it into a radically hard-hitting slug.
A rather large bullet, the .72 caliber bullet carries enough of a punch to put holes through things like the traditional_flak_vest. While it carries impressive power when coupled with the HCG, the downsides to such a large bullet makes the effective range tremendously short in a weapon that lacks the same length as a high-grade rifle.
Unlike the 12 Gauge HCG, the 8 Gauge is a custom-make ammo purely designed for those Delsaurians who love their trusty weapon or large and strong species like the ID-SOL or Oberflächenbewohner. The buckshot of the 8 Gauge is paired with a large grade of ignition materials, working with the reinforced HCG to make a kick so powerful that it can easily kill any critter that plagued the sands of Delsauria. In combat, this becomes a practical tool that allows the common soldier to catch a soldier in power armor off-guard, effective at close-range for damaging or even potentially killing a lighter suit.
