Monstrous assault weapon, primary firearm of the Daedalus Consortium Marine Corps. Possesses M230 Multi-Blast System that integrates 8-gauge shotgun and 40mm grenade launcher into rifle. Built-in temperature regulation and magnetic barrel linings. Vacuum-sealed for space combat, waterproof, sandproof, idiot-resistant. Constructed with magnetically-sealed Titanium-Duranium alloys and integrated micro-recoil compensators. Barrel shroud radiator fins glow under sustained fire; doubles as intimidation. Integrated into Intranet).
Shotgun has semi-auto cycling via gas recoil buffer. Fires from an underbarrel internal magazine. Grenade launcher is smart-linked with onboard optics; cycles based on threat analysis, and top-mounted computer reads wind, distance, cover before launch. Electronic fire control and recoil-compensation gyros sync with the user’s powered combat exoskeleton systems, drawing power via a high-density coupling embedded in the grip frame.
⚠️Requires enhanced strength and spinal support to operate effectively. Will kill or maim in augmented users.⚠️
⚠️Baselines attempting to fire this weapon will suffer from tearing of the ligament, fracturing of the scapula, dislocation of the shoulder from the recoil alone, clavicle, vertebrae and humerus breakage alongside compression and burst fractures thanks to kinetic feedback whiplashing through spine, and third-degree burns alongside lacerations from recoil kickback and EM coils.
