User:IAmTheClayman/XEMAR Gauss Weapon

The XEMAR, or Experimental ElectroMagnetic Accelerator Rifle, is a prototype Gauss weapon created with the goal of replacing the archaic mechanical bolt rifles still in use by UNSC forces. The project began in 2543 and was a rare instance of cooperation between military and corporate interests, as the majority of the funding came from various mega-corprations and commercial armories while the team in charge of designing the prototype was made up of an equal number of military and civilian personnel. The weapon operates on basic coilgun principles as founded in the late 20th Century; its revolutionary design centers mainly around the weapon's ease of use, maintainability and overall construction. However, because most of the work on the weapon was lost during the Fall of Reach, along with several of the key members of the design team, only one functioning prototype of the weapon was ever produced. This weapon is currently in the possession of SPARTAN Kyle-B13.
