Description
Part of an experimental development project between the weaponmasters of the Serpentum Engineering Corps and the designers of Elnre Industries,the Taurus H.A.M.R is an masterwork of weapon design.
The absurdly powerful anti-material rifle was designed as an means to allow Imperial snipers to engage armored vehicles and shielded opponents from behind the lines of combat.Using an limited coilgun design to project the bullet at immense speeds building deadly force aimed at adding to it's firepower.The diamond tipped bullets contain an PETN chemical charge making it arguably one of the deadliest conventional rounds in the galaxy.
But with great Strengths come great weaknesses.
Users MUST wear power armour or an protective exoskeleton to absorb the sheer force caused by firing the weapon as well to carry the 10 ton rifle,the weapon requires an setup time of at least 3 minutes on record,the magazine size is limited to only 5 shots without the magazine itself becoming too much of an burden.The sound each shot makes will make it an useless weapon for stealth operations and is an health hazard to those without proper protection.
Finally the weapon is designed to use only it's indicated ammo....The PETN charge however is expensive to mass produce thus the Imperium limits the production of this weapon and it's ammunition to small quantities.
