Description
When Humanity first colonized Necronis (Known then as Algarius VII), the colonists were faced with hostile wildlife and feral natives. Valiant .co, the company that funded the mission, needed a new type of weapon to deal with the threats. With the discovery of Infernium, a new range of weapons an vehicles were manufactured including this basic firearm issued to all troops. The MkI Volt Rifle was used until the demonic invasion, at which point the MkII was created, with a more powerful shot and better accuracy. These were used by all troops fighting in the trenches, the cities and in battleships. Many millions of these were made over the course of the war and many still litter battlefields today, many centuries later. Today, as The Necronis Stratocracy begins to rise, these weapons are once again in producion.
The MkII Volt Rifle is a single shot, bolt action, combat rifle that uses pellets made of steel cased Infernium in magazines of 10. Each shot has enough power to rip a hole in basic combat armor. The Infernium is highly unstable and so can explode at any time. Most times it on impact but a dent or a build up of dirt in the barrel of the rifle can cause it to explode before leaving the gun, causing massive damage to the user. The MkII Volt Rifle can also be equipped with a standard 40cm long bayonet for close combat.
