 "''This thing makes one mile look like three inches. I could hit you accurately with this before you knew the enemy even existed." ~Gamma-002''

The GHST1-N1IK is a large, anti-personnel rifle developed by the United Planetary Union designed for use by the GHOST Special Tactics Rescue and Recovery Units. It uses a special magnetic system to propel 50mm rounds from a five round magazine at up to 5 miles per second. Anti-Shock units in the butt of the rifle keep it's recoil to a minimum and the magnetic system used keeps the weapon from making almost any noise. It uses a Hawkeye-189 adjustable self calibrating scope.

Uses
The weapon functions primarilly to use as an Anti-Personnel weapon. It can also be used effectively on light vehicles and multiple light aerial vehicles. Designed in particular to fight UNSC based technology, the rifle is less effective against covenant material. Its main drawback is its tendency to shred rounds as the magnetic charge of the weapon dies. This can be aleviated by recharging the mechanisms within the weapon, which can be done quite simply. The magnetic mechanisms can also be replaced if necessary.

Operation
The weapon's operation is currently unknown, and the mechanisms inside are purely of UPU origin. Due to the fact that this weapon was developed and manufactured in the GHOST Research Facility Alpha data on the weapon was lost when Gladice activated a Full System Purge just before being deactivated by the UNSC squads that had infiltrated the Facility. However it is known that the round is placed in the chamber where a series of magnets charge the round with energy and propel it through the barrel at amazing velocities.

Comments
"Those damned infiltration units. Gammas will just start picking us off from a mile away and there's almost nothing we can do to stop them."

"There's nothing like turning a Gamma against the others. And when you arm this one right, he fucking destroys them."

"It's a dream come true if you can get your hands on someone who is trained with one. Silent and simple, it's got nothing against armor, but when you want to deal with anything else, you want one on your side."
