VTX44 Sniper Rifle

The VTX44 rifle was custom-built by Damien to serve as an ultra-long-range anti-material rifle. Utilising a wholly different acceleration system to most projectile weapons, it is unmatched in it's accuracy, range, velocity and impact force.

Mechanism
The VTX44 is a light gas gun, similar to the type used by NASA for hypervelocity impact testing. It uses an HMX charge to compress liquid hydrogen, which accelerates a 20mm round down the barrel of the rifle. It is capable of firing 20mm rounds at up to 8km/s, capable of penetrating tank armour from 2km, armoured humans from 8km, and unarmoured from 12km, if the round stays accurate.The large mass and velocity of each round means they are far less affected by wind and atmospheric conditions due to the momentum inherent, allowing them to hit harder and faster over longer distances.

Effects
The VTX44 is capable of firing many different round types, all created by Damien. These include:
