The 5.56×45mm NATO round is a rifle cartridge developed in the United States. It is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. When the bullet impacts at high velocity and yaws in tissue, fragmentation creates a rapid transfer of energy which can result in dramatic wounding effects.

The mini-crossbow dart is a favored weapon for many "wet" operations; however, silent kills require a high degree of skill.

Flare dart


(Mini-Crossbow)

Mini-crossbow flare darts use a slow-burning incendiary device, ignited on impact, to provide illumination of a targeted area.

Hypodermic dart


(PAX-22 Tranquilizer rifle)

Hypodermic dart is a needle coupled with a hollow reservoir resembling a syringe filled with a chemical mixture out of different psychopharmaceuticals and anaesthetics such as Diazepam, Phencyclidine, Ketamine and Morphine. These are launched from a tranquilizer rifle using compressed gas, a tuft of fibers at the back of the missile serving as both fletching and wadding.

Napalm canister


(Flamethrower)

A pressurized canister of jellied gasoline for use with flamethrowers.

PEPS energy pack


(PEPS)

The PEPS energy pack is a medium sized energy production unit use by the PEPS for create an invisible laser pulse which, upon contact with the target, ablates the surface and creates a small amount of exploding plasma.

Tritium power cell


(LS-66 Sabre DER)

Tritium power cell is an atomic high energy density low-power cell using the emission from the radioactive isotope of hydrogen tritium by non-thermal conversion (extracting a fraction of the incident energy rather than using thermal energy to run electrons in a cycle) to generate electricity.

Universal ammo


A post-2052 ammunition type in which a nano-mass is dynamically configured by any Mako Ballistics weapon into ammunition of its appropriate type (anything from a pistol shot to a guided rocket, or even incendiary fuel for the flamethrower) and allows all Mako Ballistics weapons to use the same ammunition.

WP rocket


(GEP Gun)

The white-phosphorus rocket, or "wooly peter," was designed to expand the mission profile of the GEP gun. While it does minimal damage upon detonation, the explosion will spread a cloud of particularized white phosphorus that ignites immediately upon contact with the air.
