The Haecrauxian Combat rifle was invented by the technocrasy late year 3326, it is a simple design easily massproduced, and highly cost effective.

It is relatively easy to learn its basic function enabling maintance by the common soldiery, while technologically inept "lesser" races are often left floundered by its function in many senses of the word.

It functions by loading small pellets of special metals into the rear end, then through magnetical friction this material is heated to extreme temperatures and projected out through the barrel.

The inflicted wounds are have a lethality rate of roughly 85%, and are effective at a range of 460 metres.
