User:144PA/Type-279 Battle Rifle

The Type-279 Battle Rifle, or Mangler, is a weapon used by soldiers in the Jiralhanae Empire. The Mangler utilizes extremely dangerous chemical ammunition. The chemicals are kept liquified in a heating tank located under the rifle. From there, small ammounts of the chemical are pumped into bullet chambers where they solidify into highly volatile and poisonous rounds. Similarly to the rounds of the Needler, Mangler rounds detonate however they explode on contact and release deadly radioactive energy. Depending on where the target is hit and how soon they get medical attention, a target can die even without a fatal shot. On top of the barrel is a retractable bayonet that is used to impale hostiles that get too close.
