Magnetic Fusil

The Magnetic Fusil™ is a light, two-handed weapon, manufactured by ExMob Industries. It is the favoured weapon of the Insurrection, as the Corporations keep Insurrectionist armouries well-stocked with this powerful weapon.

The Fusil is a ‘railgun’ meaning that it uses electromagnets to propel a projectile, rather than an explosion. It is breech-loading, as there is a hinge between the stock and the receiver, where the Fusil is ‘broken’ by the user, and the railshot is pushed directly into the barrel. The hammer, which is positioned atop the reciever, rather than along side (like the Plasma Musket), is cocked.

Railshot is heavy and awkward, so the Fusil could never have a magazine. At the rear of the stock, there is a battery, which the weapon needs, in order to fire. Each battery is good for 250 shots, before it needs recharging.
