Fiction:United Persan Descendants/Technology/S EM Rifle

History and Description
The United Persan Descendants S EM Rifle (Standard Electromagnetic Rifle) is the main series of combat weapons designed for use by Persan soldiers and civilians. The rifles were first developed during the Attero Dominatus war by the Vanara as an attempt to standardize their armament. Up until that point Vanara armies were composed of assembled levies each armed with whatever they could afford. Attero Dominatus marked the shift to a professional army for the Vanara as well as the end of their nomadic lifestyle in order to sustain such a force.

The S EM Rifle's operation is fairly simple, it uses magitech to generate electromagnetic fields to propel caseless ammunition. The ammunition in question are bolts much like those fired by a crossbow. These bolts are runically engraved to give them shield piercing abilities allowing them to ignore said extra-defensive measure. The bolts are propelled to high hypersonic speeds of around mach twelve giving them plenty of armor piercing potential as well.

S EM Rifles are not terribly common outside the UPD's boarders. When they are found they are almost always utilized by essence users of the UAE's affiliated nations.
