Description
Additional specs:
Overall length: 18 inches.
Barrel length: 6 inches. (Bolts are stabilized by internal magnetic spin assigned during firing process. The barrel is essentially smoothbore; shielding the internal components from the environment.
Weight: 21 Kg.
Charge time for a single penetrative bolt: 20 seconds.

It's more of a compact handcannon, but regulations and restrictive legislature being what they are, the weapon was labeled as a Class IV Aetheric Rifle, making it available only to military, private security or law enforcement.

Exactly what is the penetrative power of a single charged bolt versus a 5-shot cluster? Each bolt is cataloged as being capable of penetrating roughly 8mm of durasteel plating with the charged bolt capable of penetrating a whopping 24mm of durasteel. Given the high cost of producing durasteel, most arms companies prefer not to produce more than 20mm sheets for use as armor.

So how would you choose to use this weapon? Charge up your shots or pepper the field of battle?
