• 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.

MA-5.56

Developed in 2316 for the UG-12 / MAG-12 project. The MA-5.56 round is based on existing high power personal defense cartridges with modifications made so that they can be used with both conventional weapons and railgun systems.

Layout

The MA-5.56 has an electronic primer on one end, and a combined propellant/bullet stack that includes a metallic 'bucket' component that can be used as part of a rail-launch system or simply ejected out the front of the weapon along with the bullet.

Ammunition Types

MA-5.56-HESH-S


The most widely produced round type fires a subsonic HESH explosive. This small explosive is generally poor at penetrating armor, but can cause spalling on impact and will generally chip into or shatter armor rather than being defeated completely by it. The explosive also will generally cause a very shallow but large wound channel in a target. This makes it best for indoor, urban, or other close range situations.
