Magna weapons are a type of kinetic weapon that use electromagnetism in order to propel shots at insanely fast speeds. The speeds that these shots travel at is enough to punch through practically any kind of armor, making them ideal anti-vehicle weapons. However, their low rate of fire, combined with their power requirements, limits their effectiveness against infantry.
Magna weapons are divided into two broad categories, railguns and coilguns. While they both use electromagnetism in order to fire their rounds, how they do it varies. Railguns use two parallel rails that come into direct contact with the round, while coilguns use a series of electromagnetic coils that wrap around a barrel and use . Both types have their advantages and disadvantages, with railguns being more powerful and easier to build, while coilguns are far more compact and portable.
Since the projectiles that magna weapons fire travel so fast, anything hit by them often ends up getting flung back a considerable distance. The sonic boom created by them as they fly through the air is usually more than enough to send enemy troops scrambling for cover. Even if their armor somehow manages to survive the shot, the impact alone would still be enough to kill them.
Types of Magna Weapons
The magna rifle is a coilgun-type infantry weapon designed to take out targets from extreme distances. They are usually employed in order to take out enemy commanders and elite infantry, though they are suitable for anti-vehicle use as well. Untrained users are often thrown back by the weapon’s recoil.
Magna cannons are vehicle and ship mounted weapons capable of both decimating enemy armor and fortified positions. Any vehicle carrying one of these will often be equipped with specialized gear to prevent the recoil from the magna cannon from flipping it over.
The spinal magna cannon is an enormous magna weapon that is often mounted on the front of large warships such as cruisers and battleships. The barrels for these weapons often run a considerable length, some even being hundreds of meters long. The impact that their rounds produce is so devastating that some ships end up getting torn in half after just one shot.
