Description: The Tribune Model Bolter works by firing .50 caliber impact reactive explosive rounds that are designed to penetrate armor and then explode inside the targets body destroying their bodies from the inside. The impact sensors are designed to either explode shortly after contact with flesh, or after a set time after impacting, which mode it is in is controlled via a switch on the side of the gun near the saftey. The switch changes the mode on a solid state electrical relay within the bullet, which changes which circuit the sensor is using. This is not a suppression weapon, it requires precision to use properly, and spray and pray is not an applicable tactic. This weapon can be used by your average man, but the recoil is somewhat strong.
