The 5.4mm/.21 caliber round is very small in comparison to most standard firearms of the era, but using the Gauss technology, the small rounds have the ability to rip targets apart, even through office buildings.{{Ref/Reuse|CHP}} This is due to the high force imparted on the round via the Gauss acceleration method. The round creates shockwaves as it passes through the target and ripping through anything not as strong as a foot (30 cm) of titanium. {{Ref/Reuse| | The 5.4mm/.21 caliber round is very small in comparison to most standard firearms of the era, but using the Gauss technology, the small rounds have the ability to rip targets apart, even through office buildings.{{Ref/Reuse|CHP}} This is due to the high force imparted on the round via the Gauss acceleration method. The round creates shockwaves as it passes through the target and ripping through anything not as strong as a foot (30 cm) of titanium. {{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} In the case of material targets, this is a minor explosion and the creation of structural fractures. In the case of personnel targets, it simultaneously rips apart and pulverizes the body around the impact area. Even hits in an extremity or near-misses can be deadly. | ||
The rounds have been known to have the ability to travel great distances without affecting the trajectory, delivering enough force to punch through [[instacrete]] pylons, blow a [[human]] apart, and continue on course through an abandoned parking lot. | The rounds have been known to have the ability to travel great distances without affecting the trajectory, delivering enough force to punch through [[instacrete]] pylons, blow a [[human]] apart, and continue on course through an abandoned parking lot. | ||
