The TIU are always researching new types of weaponry to vanquish their foes in battle. The TX5N1 Rifle was in the Prototype stages before the battle but was quickly mass produced with high priority and given to troops who were already being trained in its use. The rounds are a superheated metal, charged with plasma, with a liquid incendary core. They stick to the Shard, melting a hole in their crystaline frame and continues to burn until the Plasma ignites the liquid core. This causes a small explosion that can blow a Shard apart, temporarily disabling it for a good long while. |
