-**Firing Mechanism: The pistol functions by a cartridge being loaded into the barrel. At this point a capacitor in the pistol is charged up from the battery in the magazine. When the trigger is pulled there is a quick surge of energy into the electro-magnetic coils of the barrel which accelerates the cartridge to its intended speed, which varies depending on the round.+Firing Mechanism: The pistol functions by a cartridge being loaded into the barrel.

 Recoil: EM system results in reduced recoil, as does the comparatively small size of the projectile, offsetting the high power and to result in a pistol which has only slightly above average recoil. This is increased to significant when used on automatic or to fire the larger rounds. Recoil: EM system results in reduced recoil, as does the comparatively small size of the projectile, offsetting the high power and to result in a pistol which has only slightly above average recoil.

-**Description: The tiny 2 x 6 mm round is designed so that the pistol can contain a very large number of them and fire them at a high speeds – up to 1,200 rpm – although it sacrifices penetrating power, range (20 m) and practical damaging capacity. If not use on automatic the pistol can be used by a true expert to place subtle assassination shots, but this has very limited use. Usefully the rounds have almost zero recoil.+Description: The tiny 2 x 6 mm round is designed so that the pistol can contain a very large number of them and fire them at a high speeds – up to 1,200 rpm – although it sacrifices penetrating power, range (20 m) and practical damaging capacity.

-**Description: Designed to be used within 110m the 5.7 x 11 mm round is designed to be carried in comparatively high numbers, to have a high muzzle velocity (510 m/s) and to be highly effective against body armour. As such it is a good choice for situations where there is likely to be close contact with body armoured infantry. Due to the very high number of rounds which can be stored of this bullet it is usually used on automatic.+Description: Designed to be used within 110m the 5.7 x 11 mm round is designed to be carried in comparatively high numbers, to have a high muzzle velocity (510 m/s) and to be highly effective against body armour. As such it is a good choice for situations where there is likely to be close contact with body armoured infantry. Due to the very high number of rounds which can be stored of this bullet it is usually used on automatic.
 Damage Description: The bullet has a tendency to pierce through armour easily but to ‘over penetrate’ thus making it imperfect as a stopping measure, and lending itself to precision shots.

-**Description: A significantly larger bullet these are designed to have far great stopping power, and the ability to ‘drop’ targets – to ensure that when the bullet hits it does not simply tear a little hole and allow the target to continue but to ensure that enough damage is done to incapacitate or kill them. As such the pistol can contain far fewer rounds, but they have a grater range (120 m) due to increased flight stability and far great damaging potential.+Description: A significantly larger bullet these are designed to have far great stopping power, and the ability to ‘drop’ targets – to ensure that when the bullet hits it does not simply tear a little hole and allow the target to continue but to ensure that enough damage is done to incapacitate or kill them.

-**Description: These are the monsters of the Sersis range, the largest bullets which are fired with enough force to liquidise the interior organs of anyone it hits (as well as remove a considerable number of them from the body), as well as serve as a decent anti-material round. Due to the high energy requirements of firing such a round the magazine can only contain three – the rest of the room being given over to additional battery space. However this ensures that the rounds have an exit velocity of 300 m/s. It is a favourite when needing to stop/liquidise a target, or facing armoured opposition. Its recoil is fearsome however, and requires considerable steadying. Its range is also quite high – around 200m.+Description: These are the monsters of the Sersis range, the largest bullets which are fired with enough force to liquidise the interior organs of anyone it hits (as well as remove a considerable number of them from the body), as well as serve as a decent anti-material round.
