• Vent System: In order to keep the rifle cool, there are a number of heat-vents situated around the gun.
• Magazine Battery: The battery of the weapon is contained within the bottom of the magazine.
• Modular Sight: The sight can be connected to a computer or can be used visually, it also has night-vision and infrared optic options.
• Bolt-Action: The rifle is a bolt-action rifle, requiring a round to be chambered every shot.
• Specialized Barrel: The barrel of the rifle is a unique design and allows for the rounds to reach excessive levels of speed, meaning that the round is very quick, will travel extremely long ranges and will cause an obscene amount of damage to an individual.

STRENGTHS

• DAMAGE-DEALER: As the weapon is a railgun, paired with the FDS MagShell it can cause a considerable amount of damage, sending a sharp Mullinine rod at it target with significant speed. The barrel of the rifle is exceptionally long, meaning it can achieve a significantly higher velocity than other, smaller rifles.
• LONG-RANGE: As the weapon is a railgun, the rounds are projected at such a speed that the distance it can travel is exceptional. Paired with the long barrel of the rifle, the rounds can reach an exceptional velocity and therefore great distances.
• EMP-PROTECTION: The weapon comes installed with a MIL-GRADE ElectroMag Defense Unit, which is designed to protect the weapon against EMP attacks.

WEAKNESSES

• EXTORTIONATE: As a result of the materials and pinpoint precision involved within the manufacturing process of the weapon, the FDS-72X 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.
• SIZE: The rifle is quite large in comparison to other FDS weapons, it is particularly long as a result of the long barrel.
• RECOIL: Due to the velocity and power of the MagRounds exiting the barrel upon use, the weapon suffers from significant recoil as a result.
• BOLT-ACTION: The rifle can only be fired once a round has been chambered from the magazine.

DESCRIPTION
The most expensive and dangerous weapon in Fiora Defence Systems' flagship small arms railgun line, the FDS-72X MagSniper is an exclusive, reliable and deadly yet extortionately expensive rifle that is ideal for long range engagements. Designed & manufactured as a high-end weapon system, each rifle is extremely 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 whine-like noise, akin to the sound of travelling fireworks.

Additionally, upon a round exiting the weapon, a number of 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-72X bears no semblance whatsoever.
