Designation: Ato. Class Automaton Specific Weapon.
Type: Sturmgewehr
Description: Standard issue caseless 35.7 x 15.8 x 9.5 mm bullpup assault rifle, with AI assisted mag-repulsed recoil negator.
Notes: Few arms manufacturing companies have devoted so much to achieve such an adequate product. If you need to shoot bullets, no one can say that this model fails to do so.
Notes: After the success of Annabelle's micro sized integrated Gauss weapon, other's were quick to begin developing hand held small scale EMP weapons. After several notable financial disasters, Tomoyuki House unveiled the ASW - 071412. Although its battery is only good for about half of the ammunition capacity, it has become a favorite among Urban Tactical Units. Not with sniper teams however. CQC (close quarters combat) teams have found the shear force of the projectile striking environmental objects effective in turning an enemy's cover into a solid wall of shrapnel. Instant giant shotgun.
"The more we strive to be like man, the more restless with humanity we become, and the greater our desire grows to be like gods." From a declaration of intent to design, made by the automaton Howard AD - 040711.
