NX-40, Nyx
Standard issue automatic sniper rifle. NZ-40s are issued to most marksmanship teams. Reliable and unbelievably accurate.
Compatible with AHR magazines.
Cyclic RoF: 500
Length: 920mm
Barrel Length: 420mm
Mass (Unloaded/Loaded with AHR20): 5.4kg/6.0kg
Muzzle Velocity: 2100m/s
Expanded: NX-40
-It gained the name “Nyx” from it’s designation nearly matching the name of the Five Star Admiral, Nyx.
-Sometimes, it’s believed to be blessed by Kylara due to it’s pinpoint accuracy.
-The stock’s elongated design is integral to the recoil reducing system of the weapon, so it can’t be shortened or removed.
-The white section near the action of the weapon is a heat sink. When it fails to dissipate heat properly, it can reach a maximum temperature of 1184°C before forcibly shutting down the weapon.
-The weapon lacks a magazine release and fire selector, and requires a degree of skill and dexterity to operate the screen for those functions.
-When all rounds are expended, the lock on the magazine is released and it enters a “half-lock” state where the magazine is easy to detach, but can be re-locked if a magazine release is not desired.

I like that the magazine is so thin when compared to present day guns. Because it’s a Gauss rifle there’s no need for the ammunition to have propellant thus leaving just the projectile, hence the thin mag.
Even in anti-material rifles the projectile is only about a third or fourth of the round’s length.

Yeah it's very rare that I'm able to do this though.
Usually clients want still big mags for rail and gauss weapons. I assume it is, because a big projectile means "more impact" or something.
I picture gauss ammo like fairly small balls that are extremely hard but also very heavy to get as much kinetic energy as possible.
But yeah, it's really a rarity that clients have a reasonable understanding of gauss ammo.
