Intel Feed

Following the ACR-10's excellent reception, the Takashi Corporation introduced the HSR-6 to high expectations. Restricted semi-automatic mode and designed with a sleek streamlined refit, this long-range repurposing seemed an excellent development.

The assassination for the French Prime Minister also gave the weapon notoriety, followed by public outcries against arms development, and unprecedented premiere firearm sales.

Components

• Muzzle Brake: As the weapon is fired, the newly added muzzle break reduces recoil by redirecting propellant gases in the opposite direction of the recoil. This is a digitally controlled system, compensating each shot individually, with adjustments for tensions in the operator’s muscles and other details that may have detrimental effects for the operator’s accuracy.
  • Research Energy 7500
• HVAP (High Velocity, Armor-Piercing) Ammunition: To utilize the hypervelocity capabilities of the HSR-6, special high velocity armor piercing rounds can be used. Shaped with a light metal casing over a hard tungsten-cobalt core, these rounds fuse armor piercing capabilities with extreme stopping power. These projectiles are very likely to ricochet off the bones inside a target’s body, causing irreparable internal injuries.
  • Research Energy 10000
• Solid Film Lubricant: Adding a thin solid film lubricant to the action and trigger box of the gun allows for smoother reloading and so increases the guns rate of fire.
  • Research Energy 10000
• Magazine Extension: Even if snipers are less likely to burn through their ammunition, the HSR’s multipurpose design forces a few adaptations. Many "one shot = one kill" proponents suggest that the HSR is good enough as it is but field agents end to disagree. An extra 4 rounds of ammo means 4 additional kills.
  • Research Energy 15000
• Assault Sight: The role of the traditional sniper is fairly useless in an urban environment, where the vertical can be more important than the horizontal. By mounting a supplemental red dot sight at the 45-degree angle to the main scope, it’s possible for the sniper to relocate rapidly and even to partake in close assault operations when needed.
  • Research Energy 25000
• MPB Munitions: The mercury penetration bullet adds additional penetration and stopping power to this already fierce assault rifle. Filled with a drop of mercury, these bullets will explode on impact. High inertia of the mercury means it will continue to penetrate into the soft tissue causing devastating wounds.
