55 x 120 mm Aether-Slugs

The 55 x 120 mm Aether Slugs are little more than a Zesuaium tipped aether-capacitor1) wrapped in an aerodynamically designed shell of Xiulurium-coated Durandium Alloy to not immediately light up sensors and reveal the shooter’s position. Wyatt Fujiwara was contacted by Galactic Horizon after his Ke-M10-G4100 Long Life Power Cell went into production, being both a marksman of some notoriety and a tinkerer he was more than happy to help the company design a new round for a new rifle he would no doubt get to use later down the line.

1)
capacitor that stores raw aetheric energy
2)
piercing damage is dependent on how fast the round is being flung out the barrel, with higher piercing damage resulting in higher recoil felt by the user
