Accelerator design was revolutionized by element zero. If this were not the case, it would simply punch a hole right through, doing minimal damage. The slug is designed to squash or shatter on impact, increasing the energy it transfers to the target. Mass Accelerator TechnologyĪ mass accelerator propels a solid metal slug using precisely-controlled electromagnetic attraction and repulsion.
Smart targeting does not mean a bullet will automatically find the mark every time the trigger is pulled, it only makes it easier for the marksman to aim. Firing on a target in a howling gale feels the same as it does on a calm day at the practice range. Top-line weapons also feature smart targeting that allows them to correct for weather and environment. A single block can supply thousands of rounds, making ammo a non-issue during any engagement. The gun's internal computer calculates the mass need to reach the target based on distance, gravity and atmospheric pressure, then shears off an appropriate sized slug from the block. The ammo magazine is a simple block of metal, often referred to as a 'slug box'. Projectiles consist of tiny metal slugs suspended within a mass-reducing field, accelerated by magnetic force to speeds that inflict kinetic damage. All modern infantry weapons from pistols to assault rifles use micro-scaled mass accelerator technology.
