Two rounds of the penetrator, compact on the left, fully extended on the right.

SPECIAL FEATURES
- Extremely simple construction allows for rapid manufacture
- Compact ammunition that only grows to full size when firing allows for increased storage of ammo in the same space
- Simple organic species make ease and cost of manufacturing extremely desirable
- Classification: Kinetic penetrator (big bullet)
- Explosive Type: None (uses sheer mass and sharpness to punch through armor)
- Delivery Method: Electromagnetic propulsion
- Effective Range: Battlefield
- Area Of Effect: Small
- Damage Output: Very High
- Massive amount of kinetic energy in an extremely small package is ideal for crafting armor-penetrating rounds
- Designed to work with Sylva Vitae biotech, though its size does require a cannon to operate with effectiveness
- These rounds are large and heavy; handheld weaponry will not have any success with bullets of this size.
- Organic design is less durable than a standard-technology-based design
- Organic penetrators do not have the 'punch' of contemporary armaments, and they are weaker against armor as a result
An extremely simple construction, the 'Buloke' uses a similar ideology to the weaponry found in the Falx bracer. The C. viriditas methodology of the storage of significant mass in a small package is used to form a terrifyingly sharp kinetic penetrator. This weapon fires on a ballistic arc, with the penetrator not able to keep itself flying through the air. The shape of the penetrator provides self-stabilization, allowing it to be fired from a smoothbore cannon. Unlike a smooth surfaced shell which requires rotational spin for stability, the fin-shaped exterior of the 'Buloke' keeps it stable in flight to hit extremely hard when it finds its target.
