Description
The weapon is used by the HGN-732 Highlander as well as the much later Deva OmniMech and Kheeper.Description:
Over the centuries the precision of the M7 is unmatched. Thanks to a highly aerodynamic projectile and a rifled barrel. The slotted Iron alloy projectiles use a core of depleted uranium to increase the effect on the target.
Problems are the huge magnetic field strength and the length of the accelerator.
