 Galactic Horizon 7.7mm “Volt” ammunition is a less than lethal variety of 7.7mm specialty ammunition available from [[corp:galactic_horizon]] beginning in [[timeline:ye_42]]. They use a nickel-plated, rimless, brass head with a primarily polymer casing just like the [[corp:galactic_horizon:7.7x60mm_shotshell]]. The polymer section is white, rather than purple, to better distinguish its purpose as non-lethal ammunition. Galactic Horizon 7.7mm “Volt” ammunition is a less than lethal variety of 7.7mm specialty ammunition available from [[corp:galactic_horizon]] beginning in [[timeline:ye_42]].

-The projectile itself is a little more technical than your average lead slug, though not by much when compared to some weaponry available in the [[location:kikyo_sector]]. At its core it is a small lossless capacitor with a thermoelectric pad at one end. That end is jacketed in a thin layer of copper that has three barbed prongs on its business-end. This whole copper-jacketed section wrapped in one final layer of rubber with a hollow tip and holes perforated into the side to expose the copper beneath, packed ahead of some low-velocity propellant to keep the munition non-lethal.+The projectile itself is a little more technical than your average lead slug, though not by much when compared to some weaponry available in the [[places:kikyo_sector]].

 All that is required from the user is that they aim at their target and fire, the ammo taking care of the rest. Burning gasses and/or arcing electricity((where electromagnetic barrel components are concerned)) charges the capacitor. Upon impact the hollow nose collapses and allows the copper prongs to stab through into whatever they hit, dumping 50,000 volts into the target for five seconds. All that is required from the user is that they aim at their target and fire, the ammo taking care of the rest.
