Cocked, Locked and a Smoking Barrel
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
After giving their Standard model polymer cartridge some time to proliferate on the market Hekler'Kok decided to design a new variant to try and garner even more sales. After some debate it was decided that the most profitable market would be the civilian market and therefore they should design a round that would be most suitable to your everyday person and settled on a hollow point round. The materials use were the same as the standard model with only difference being the design of the bullet.
- Intent: To create a new variant of Hekler'Kok's flagship product

- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Standard Model
- Manufacturer: Hekler'Kok Defense Industries
- Affiliation: Open-Market
- Model: Hekler'Kok Polymer Cased Ammunition-Standard
- Modularity: Comes in a variety of cartridges
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Heat-Resistant Polymer (Cartridge), Durasteel (Cartridge Rim and Bullet Jacketing), Lead (Bullet Core), Primer and Gunpowder
- Various Cartridges:
- Pistol Cartridges:
- 5.7x28mm
- 7.62x25mm

- Rifle Cartridges:

- Lightweight: Due to it being constructed out of polymer rather than a traditional brass cartridge it ways about fifty percent less than a traditional cartridge
- Cheap: Since the cartridge is constructed out of polymer rather than a traditional brass cartridge it cost about twenty-five percent less to produced than a tradition cartridge
- Suppressable: Unlike most conventional blasters it is actually rather simple to suppress the noise emitted by slugs and slugthrowers
- Less Heat: Due to the mechanics of polymer cases the heat is directed towards the barrel rather than the action, causing less wear and tear on the weapon
- Universal: The ammunition is not limited to Hekler'Kok slugthrowers and can fired from any as long as they can chamber the proper caliber
- Strong against Un-Armored: Hollow point rounds are extremely effective against un-armored targets, causing massive bleeding and tissue damage because of their expansion on impact
- Loud: On the other hand when the slugthrower is not suppressed it will make a decent amount more noise than your conventional blaster
- Not a Space Saver: Unlike blaster packs slugs are larger and will take up more space
- Not a Weight Saver: Slugs weigh more than blaster packs and will take up more weight
- Small Selection of Rifle Calibers: Unlike the Standard model the Hollow Point model comes primarily in pistols cartridges but is available in three select rifle cartridges
- Weak against Armor: While good against unarmored targets Hollow Points are notoriously bad against unarmored targets due to the fact that their expansion on impact is unsuited for higher penetration
