M99 Stanchion: Difference between revisions

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 name="CHP"/> This is due to the high speed of the round. The round creates shockwaves as it passes through the target. In the case of material targets, this is a minor explosion. In the case of personnel targets, it simultaneously rips apart and pulverizes the body part hit. Even hits in an extremity 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. Being it holds the name 'Gauss' rifle, one can expect that is a rifle version of a [[MAC]] cannon, only on a much smaller scale.
