This weapon utilizes hybrid propulsion technology to propel the round through it's smoothbore barrel. The main weapon uses chemical propellant supplemented with coilgun acceleration to launch the round, while the the rear section uses simple chemical propulsion. A counterweight heavier than the round is used to compensate for its lower velocity in order to achieve an energy equilibrium. | This weapon utilizes hybrid propulsion technology to propel the round through it's smoothbore barrel.

The 25mm shell is composed of a super-dense core, usually composed of a depleted uranium alloy, is encased inside a ferrous-composite shell. While perhaps not as outright tough as more advanced alloys a depleted uranium penetrator has the advantage of being pyrophoric and self-sharpening on impact. When a successful penetration is made, the inside of the enemy unit will be riddled with flaming shards of metal designed to ignite fuel and ammo with the promise of turning the enemy unit into a smoking husk. | The 25mm shell is composed of a super-dense core, usually composed of a depleted uranium alloy, is encased inside a ferrous-composite shell.
