Image Source: Here
Intent: To provide a heavy weapon for Republic Field Troops
Development Thread: As Needed
Manufacturer: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Model: Mk1
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass
Material: Slugthrower Components, Duranium Armor Casing
Classification: Heavy Slugthrower Machine Gun
Size: Tripod or Vehicle Mounted (2 Man Weapon System)
Length: 1.65 Meters
Weight: 30 Kilograms (Unloaded)
Ammunition Type: Slugthrower
Ammunition Capacity: Belt-Fed carried in Ammunition Box (1,000 Rounds=50 Kilograms)
Effective Range: 1,500 Meters
Rate of Fire: 300 Rounds per Minute
Special Features:
Powerful anti-light vehicle and anti-personnel weaponry is necessary as a weapon on a vehicle or to troops in a bunker. The Hellfire fills this role perfectly. Designed around the concept that one slugthrower round-one kill, the weapon fires massive slugthrower rounds designed to penetrate armor and rend flesh. The standard round uses tungsten rods wrapped durasteel jacketed rounds to rip through most examples of personal armor with few exceptions.
The weapon itself is simple gas operated, short recoil-operated action. Because it lacks electronic components it is immune to EMP and Ion Weaponries primary effect; however the heat from Ion weaponry will still damage it if struck. Cased in durable duranium casing it can survive being trampled and run over by small wheeled vehicles and can be fired continuously for about one minute before barrel heat becomes an issue. Because the weapon is air-cooled it cannot be quickly cooled without the physical application of coolant by the user, meaning that it must rest for several minutes after a minute of continuous fire.
