.45 Kendo Express

The .45 Kendo Express is essentially a less popular “magnum” version of Nepleslia’s much loved .45 ammunition, even when compared to high-velocity versions such as the .45 Nepleslian. Due to the increased length, it manages to hit harder than both, thanks to the additional weight and power behind it. The brass-casing is nickel-coated with a red-anodized steel base for additional distinction. It is then filled with high-velocity powder and features a 415 grain projectile comprised of a particularly heavy-cast lead slug that has then been coated in a cupronickel jacket.

It began gaining notoriety as of early YE 42, when Zen Armaments began manufacturing it in both a FMJ and hollow point variant.

Statistical information pertaining to the projectile's capabilities.

• Damage Rating: Tier 2, Medium Anti-Personnel
• Size: 11.5 x 35 mm
• Caliber: .45 Magnum
• Damage Description: The cupronickel-jacketed, dense lead slug is designed to penetrate lighter personnel-grade armour solutions. The hollow point variant is designed to inflict mass internal damage on soft targets as the round expands and tumbles. Even targets capable of withstanding the round’s penetrative qualities, such as a full power-armour suit, will likely still suffer some degree of internal damage thanks to all the weight and momentum behind the round.
• Effective Range: 273 yards, 250 meters
• Muzzle Velocity: 1,800fps
• Muzzle Blast: Large gout of flame out the barrel’s end.
• Recoil: Relatively heavy when fired out of revolvers and pistols, though more manageable when fired out of a larger and/or heavier platform such as a rifle or carbine.
• Energy Source: High-velocity gunpowder that burns particularly hot and fast.
• Price (100 round box): 100DA
