SPECIAL FEATURES

• ElectroMag Defense Unit: Each rifles comes installed with a MIL-GRADE ElectroMag Defense Unit, provided by Nakaioma. This device protects the weapons from electromagnetic pulse attacks.
• Recoil Absorbing Stock: The stock of the rifle sits on a spring that mitigates a small amount of the recoil, bringing it to normal levels as a result of the bullet velocity produced by the railgun.
• Strong Flashlight: The rifle comes equipped with a strong flashlight that is positioned above the barrel.
• Modular Sight: The sight can be connected to a computer or can be used visually, it also has night-vision and infrared optic options.
• FDS MagRound Compatible: The weapon is compatible with FDS MagRounds.
• Vent & Coolant System: In order to keep the rifle cool, there are a number of heat-vents situated around the gun as well as coolant which is positioned into the grip of the weapon.
• Semi-Auto Only: The weapon can only fire semi-automatically.

STRENGTHS

• DAMAGE-DEALER: As the weapon is a railgun, paired with the FDS MagRound it can cause a considerable amount of damage, sending a sharp Mullinine rod at its target with pinpoint accuracy.
• LONG-RANGE: As the weapon is a railgun, the rounds are projected at such a speed that the distance it can travel is exceptional.
• EMP-PROTECTION: The weapon comes installed with a MIL-GRADE ElectroMag Defense Unit, which is designed to protect the weapon against EMP attacks.

WEAKNESSES

• OVERHEATING: The battery within the weapon is prone to overheating and may combust if the weapon runs out of coolant or is overused.
• EXPENSIVE: As a result of the materials and pinpoint precision involved within the manufacturing process of the weapon, the FDS-14R is quite expensive to both purchase and repair.
• HEAVY: The rifle is quite heavy in comparison to its blaster counterparts, a result of the railgun components and battery contained within.
• FIRE-RATE: The weapon is produced in contrast to the FDS-17A Assault Rifle, firing with more power at the cost of a lower firing rate.

DESCRIPTION
The most powerful, standard weapon in Fiora Defence Systems' flagship small arms railgun line, the FDS-24R MagRifle is a reliable, deadly yet expensive rifle that is ideal for any situation. Designed & manufactured as a high-end weapon system, each rifle is particularly expensive to both purchase and repair. As a result, the user is provided with a reliable, capable and deadly rifle that is useful in almost any situation.

As the weapon is a high-end system, each rifle has a Nakaioma ElectroMag Defence Unit installed which protects the weapon from electromagnetic pulse attacks, a necessity for a weapon that requires a power-pack to operate. Upon firing, the weapon emits a quiet whine-like noise, akin to the sound of travelling fireworks.

Additionally, upon a round exiting the weapon, a number of small sparks are produced from the barrel of the weapon. The design team has referred to this effect colloquially as the "Dragon's Breath", and is a unique side-effect to the weapon's overall design. Users witnessing this unexpected blast have compared to being similar in appearance to plasma-based weapons, though the design of the FDS-24R bears no semblance whatsoever.
