Special Features
  • Holographic Sight
  • Combat Knife attachment
Strengths:
  • Small but Strong: Due to it's use of the RPG like round fired the pistol like weapon while small still packs a very deadly punch that can penetrate average level armor with ease.
  • Shot Gun: It's larger cambering round and magazine slots also lead to the weapon being made to take shotgun slug too, meaning the weapon can be cusomised from mid-short range combat.
Weaknesses:
  • Ranging: The lower caliber and more generalized role means that the Fulmine lacks the longer range of other pistols and thus is not recommended for long range combat.
  • Kick Back: With the larger caliber comes problems with recoil, both the bolt and scatter ammunition putting a decent amount of strain on a users arm when firing.
Description
With the full scale production of the TA-Bolt No1 underway efforts were made to put the round into military military service. Though with the Praetorus Eliteis still years away from being completed some changes had to be made, mainly due to the large kickback brought about by the ammunition. Regular assault weapons were quickly found to not be viable for regular infantry unless in a stationary fixed role, aka weapons like the Maximum MG lines.

Even though such weapons were very effective in their roles a means for a more portable variant was pushed into development, the tech wizards in the Mechanicum settling to adept the round into a handgun like weapon. The first of these being very similar to most pistols in looks, but such ends there when the weapon is fired, which was considering in testing to be rather different, even with the scaled down caliber of the round as a safety precaution due to such a weapon being the first developed.

Trails found that the caliber round and clip size could be increased but for the time being the prototype weapon was selected to be develop and put into service as a stop gap and more affordable backup. in addition to make the weapon more versatile the mechanicum made it able to chamber shotgun slug.
