30mm Mass Driver Rounds

While mass driver rounds are not new technology to the SMDIoN, they were not a staple of its armories as compared to other forms of firearms technology. The most well-known mass drivers were the multiphase_rifle and the 80mm cannon.

As part of the YE 34 move to organize Nepleslia's logistics, NAM created the 30mm mass driver round as the Power Armor-grade mass driver round. These rounds are only available for DIoN forces and not for sale to public or other private buyers.
