Svafnir 20mm
The Svafnir is a semi automatic, grenade-firing, shotgun-sidearm designed and manufactured by Styrling Vervaardiging in YE 43 that is currently being fielded by all SMDIoN forces, and being sold on the civillian markets within nepleslia as a powered armor grade sidearm.
About the Svafnir
Designed for use as a hard-hitting powered armor grade sidearm for use in both military and civilian use the svafnir was based around the concept of the ancient and iconic Nepleslian design of the sawed-off shotgun. The design was then enhanced with a dual-magazine system and added a feature for semi-automatic fire.
The overall low-profile size of the weapon compared to most powered armor grade weaponry combined with its payload of the ammunition made it ideal as a fallback or secondary weapon against primarily light to medium armored infantry or light powered armor frames.
