Gladius Assault Rifle
The Gladius Assault Rifle is a weapon manufactured by Paragon Weapons Systems.
Design
This weapon is highly modifiable. However, the standard model is a compact, 60-round magazine-fed gun with a laser sight, optical scope and computerised drift compensator.
The gun has several settings. These include- one shot, three round bust, and full auto.
The ferrous bullets are accelerated magnetically to up to 3km/s. This is usually decreased when a high volume of fire is required or on board spaceships.
Standard ammunition is 15mm ferrous, weighing around 4.5 grammes. However, there are other types: incendiary, marker, compressing, explosive, chemical, and disruptive.
Usage
The Gladius is widely used. ECS have it as their principle weapon, as do the Lutrian, Deraian, and Zyrothan governments.
