• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

7.62x40mm Huangfeng

Page
The 7.62x40mm Huángfēng (黃蜂 - Wasp) is a caseless, self-propelled gyrojet bullet produced and used by the Daqin Diguo and its Diguo Junshi. Though it is most known for its seeker capabilities, it comes with a wide selection of projectiles that has allowed it to remain in service for decades. Having entered service in 2274 CE, it has seen numerous small changes and improvements over time owing to developments in personal firearms being relatively incremental and small. Though the projectiles themselves may sometimes offer vastly different performance and capability, firearms utilizing the 7.62x40mm Wasp are all cross compatible.

Smart Rifle Bullet 18 (Diàn Bùqiāng Zǐdàn 18 - 电步槍子彈)


Introduced in 2318CE, the DBZ18 is based off of the original DBZ74 cartridge, being the latest iteration in smart-bullet design from the Daqin Empire. The tip consists of an advanced sensor suite of visual, thermal and radar arrays that can be linked with the firearm and user. In turn, the user can update target tracking and acquisition data mid-combat to bolster accuracy against targets with advanced camouflage, spoofing and jamming countermeasures. The projectile also features either a tungsten or depleted uranium alloy penetrator, followed by a bursting charge timed to explode within the target. Finally, the base of the projectile features four missile nozzles designed to both stabilize and steer the projectile, which also double as a tracer.

Downgraded versions featuring no bursting charge for lower material requirements and reduced complexity for faster manufacturing are typically lumped under the designation DBZ17 for simplicity.

Standard Rifle Bullet 74 (Pǔtōng Bùqiāng Zǐdàn 73 - 普通步槍子彈)


A further downgraded version of the original DBZ74, the PDZ73 was designed for test firing, practice, calibration and scarcity. As a result, the projectile itself features no advanced features. The missile nozzles for steering are replaced with fixed rocket nozzles. Tungsten or depleted uranium alloy penetrator cores are often omitted as well. As a result of its simple, 'classic' design, weapons using this type of bullet must be aimed manually, and their ballistic trajectories calculated.

OOC Notes

  • Diàn Bùqiāng Zǐdàn (电步槍子彈) literally translates to "electric rifle bullet(s)" despite actually meaning "smart rifle bullet(s)" due to the idiosyncrasies of the Chinese language and its use of assembling preexisting symbols together to form an entirely new word
