Description
Designed by Archangel Armouries in the late 50's, the GwPat-60 was developed to meet the perceived demands of the 21st battlefield. It is the perfect combination of size, weight, accuracy and armour penetrating ability.
This, however, came at a cost. As a result of the GwPat-60's small 4.45mm projectile and high velocity, there was a strong tendency to pencil through targets, causing minimal tissue damage.

What's the rationale behind the wolfram bullet? Is the internal penetrator intended to continue forward, leaving the outer bullet behind in case it encounters armour?

Yup yup sir. I dunno if it'd be any good at this scale, but it certainly looks neat
