Type: Sniper Rifle
Ammo: 5.4mm/.21 caliber round composed of metal
Rarity: Mass-Produced

Strengths:
Long range
Able to shatter concrete targets

Weaknesses:
Leaves a trail of distortion from all the displaced air due to the high speed of the projectile which could be tracked back to the shooter if you're quick enough.
It's effects are extremely loud upon impact, which nullifies any possibility of it being used on stealth missions.

Description:
The Thunderbolt Sniper Rifle is a powerful weapon that utilises a series of electromagnetic coils lining the weapon's barrel that activate sequentially and thus propel the 5.4mm/.21 metallic projectile through the muzzle at supersonic speeds. The projectile's travel time is 9 miles a second with enough kinetic energy upon impact to shatter concrete targets completely. Upon hitting an actual human, the immense shockwaves generated by the impact would rip the individual apart. Each magazine has the dual function of supplying the rounds into the weapon as well as acting as a battery from which power is derived to launch the projectile. Each magazine contains 16 projectiles. The scope has a range of 2 miles with a night-vision mode.
