Mathew Tepes Weapon

• 36mm high-velocity armor-piercing (HVAP)
The standard 36mm round type, which is caseless. It is effective against most monsters because of the usage of depleted uranium rounds, which gives it excellent anti-armor properties.

• 36mm tracer
A 36mm round that burns a pyrokinetic charge when fired, providing a light source for allied troops and as a guide for the firer to see where his aim is.

• 120mm armor-piercing capped and balistically-capped high-explosive (APCBCHE)
A 120mm round that deals damage by piercing a surface and detonating an explosive payload once within. While the round is rocket-boosted, its penetration power does not match up to the 120mm APSDFS round, and the APCBCHE is usually reserved for less-armored large monsters strains.

• 120mm armor-piercing sabot-discarding fin-stabilized (APSDFS)
An arrow/dart-shaped kinetic penetrator fitted with an external shell (sabot) that allows the dart to be fired out of a rifle barrel. Once in the air, the round is further accelerated by additional rocket propulsion, before the sabot falls off to reveal a finned dart not unlike an arrow. This round type is usually reserved for use against larger and more well-armored monsters strains. effectiveness of the round in combat depends on the target, angle of fire, and other external factors.

• 120mm canister shot
A 120mm round that, when fired, spreads fragments at high velocities over a wider area; usually used on clusters of smaller strains of monsters.

• 120mm high-explosive squash head (HESH)
A 120mm round that does not focus on penetrating power, but instead uses the force from its explosion and impact on a surface to transmit the resulting shockwaves to whatever is on the other side, causing damage to soft and hard objects alike.
