Steyr-DC AAMR
Steyr-DC AAMR
The Steyr-DC AAMR, or Advanced Anti-Materiel Rifle, is a long range smoothbore firearm that was developed out of the IWS 2000 weapons development program underway shortly before the Democratic Colonies grew beyond the confines of Earth.
The AAMR is chambered to fire 15.6 mm rocket-assisted, laser guided smart-bullets which are able to modify their flight path to ensure accurate fire even on erratically moving targets. These rounds are initially propelled out of the AAMR by conventional chemical propellants even before the ignition of the embedded micro-rockets in order to avoid fouling of the barrel with rocket exhaust, as well as to provide the bullet with a substantial base of speed to build on as the rockets assist the bullet in flight.
In order to reduce the recoil felt by the AAMR's user, the barrel recoils after firing into a shock-absorbing hydro-pneumatic sleeve. This, combined with the 5 round box magazine, allow for a skilled rifleman to make relatively quick followup shots as appropriate.
