The Electro-Magnetic Sniper Rifle (EMSR)

The EMSR is the pinnacle of sniper weapons. Based around the principle of an invisible elimination method, the EMSR is not a firearm, but rather a type of Directed Enery Weapon (DEW), firing a powerful ionic pulse designed to overload the human biological systems.

The “clip” is actually a superconducting coil loop capacitor. Upon loading, the charge is dumped into the rifle’s internal loop, where it is held in stasis. When the trigger is pulled halfway (the charge sequence), the power is diverted to the magnetic rods along the barrel, which project a positive charge into the exterior faraday cage, and a negative field into the projector array. With complete pull of the trigger, a stream of negative ions is thrown from a rotating rod, entering the negative field “tunnel”. This acts as an accelerator, flinging a stream of highly charged ions from the gun.

Upon striking the target, the charge causes sudden heart failure, aneurisms, and/or nervous system shock, depending on range and power. The charged stream is usually fatal under two hundred meters, though the effectiveness decreases exponentially beyond that point due to the stream being drawn away by positive charges in the environment.

The standard capacitor holds five shots, and fires at semi-automatic speeds, although heat has proven to be some issue. The aforementioned faraday cage protects the gun’s circuits from EM radiation backflow. This gun also has limitted EMP capabilities inside of one hundred meters range, capable of shorting some electronic systems at range, and almost any system at close proximity. Users have reported smelling ozone after firing this weapon, and there is a sharp flash and crack, although too brief to trace. Test subjects have had varying degrees of internal burns revealed in autopsy, and several burst into flame when shot rapidly.
