Solid Projectile Weaponry

Not to be mistaken with Electromagnetic Weaponry which use magnetism, these weapons use a variety of standard ballistics using a fuel propellant of some kind. Most, if not all, Empires have these in some form, even if they are considered obsolete. These weapons however are still quite deadly regardless, and find plenty of use in the galaxy at Large.

New Covenant SP Weapons

New Covenant has weapons, mostly considered obsolete while others are considered the Epitome of Of this type of Weaponry, has a plethora of these types of Weapons, and are usually used on preference when it comes to Guardsmen.

Infantry Weapons

Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, Pistols, Rifles, and Shotguns can be found in this category. All of these use caseless ammunition and projectiles made from Harden Plastic-ceramic mixes, to Steel-plastic Mixes, though in the case of Shotguns it is usually just steel shot as other types of shot are not as effective.

The Weapons themselves are made from Plastic and steel mix, which makes them light and reliable. The most standard weapon is the G-416 Autogun, which appears as a mix between a M-16 and the AK-47. It was the standard Assault rifle of the Guard forces until being phased out and replaced with more efficient Laser weapons, but large stock piles of the weapons still remain withing New Covenant bases, along with Ammunition. A Variant of this Gun, the G-416H sported an elongated body, and Barrel and fired the same caliber but at higher rates, and could sport either a box or drum Magazine.

The Ammunition for The Autogun is interesting, in that while being solid projectiles weapons one variant of the Ammunition that became most widely used was the Flail round. The Flail round is a Ceramic Plastic round with a plastic explosive charge inside that explodes on contact and sometimes after penetration. This round became widely used and produced in the years before switching to laser weapons and it was highly effective against lightly armored and shielded targets, but was worthless against harder targets such as Power Armored units. Lightly Armored units however are killed easily and shield fall quickly to the rounds, as the Round impact combine with the explosion after adds high amounts of stress to personal shield usually causing them to fail rapidly. In Units with no Armor, death is guaranteed.

Standard ammunition is available in large Quantities, But the Flail round is usually most preferred since it only improves the damage capability of the weapon.

Special Forces Weapons

Special Forces weapons include those used by the Crusaders, Assassins, and even elite Troops within the Guard as well. The Rectus Assassins use a Powerful Sniper rifle, Called the Aequitas Rifle, capable of firing multiple types of rounds, being capable of taking out shielded targets, heavily armored target and even vehicles. It is equipped with an advanced scope that interfaces with its user via neural linking making it incredibly accurate even at distances in excess of 3 miles.

As for the Crusaders they use the Powerful Lance Assault Rifle, which fires Armor piercing Gyroscopic Explosive rounds at high velocities, and remains excellent accuracy due to the rounds rocket propelled nature. The round is first propelled by the a standard combustible material and then the built in solid fuel burns of activating its gyroscopic high velocity spins, propelling it forward at higher speeds than expected of such a large round, and impacting with tremendous force. Other Type of Lances exist, such as ones design for sniping with sport a longer barrel and use the same round but with a longer casing for a higher velocity round. The Crusader variants are larger than ones meant for normal Humans, as the Crusader Lances have technologies in them that let them neurally interface with the Crusader's power armor for optimal accuracy. Human variants are smaller but fire the same round and do not have the advance tech in them for interfacing but operate the same, However these usually have been modified in their own regard to lower the recoil so Humans can use them. Another Crusader variant is the Storm Lance, which is a twin barreled lance that is capable of extreme rates of fire as compared to a normal lance, it also uses a box magazine or in older models, two Lance Magazine. The weapon is so powerful though that it is often use as a pintel mounted weapon on tanks.

Heavy Weapons

Among Heavy weapons are many devastating choices, and lighter heavy weapons mostly being the standard .50 caliber Machine gun which is used in place of other weapons when they are not available, even with such an old design its killing power has not diminished in the slightest and is truly only ineffective against highly armored targets.
