Overview
C-14 uses regular .50 caliber rounds, but there's more than just that; It uses "Rail Gun" technology to assist in bullets to speed up, resulting in devastating impact and pierce. Also, the bullet being able to exit the barrel faster enables the next bullet to be loaded much earlier, letting it have fastest rps of all assault rifles. However, to prevent overheating, it is made of mixture of neosteel and compressed carbon fiber, making it very heavy for use. Its recoil is also a huge problem, being strong enough to knock down an adult easily if he does not know its power. However, if used with any kind of power suit, it will does its job pretty darn good.
