===== Ammo Description: =====
Name: 10mm High-Grade Tungsten Flechettes
General Description: Long, cylindrical spikes of tungsten chained together for sustained fire for long periods of time. 4 fins extend from the spine and steady the spike on its course when fired.
Ammo: 60 spikes on a belt fed from a square magazine inserted into the side of the gun.
Bullet Description
The spike is a modified version of the original design, which was originally stake shaped. This newer design is basically a 1/4 inch, high-grade tungsten spine with four retracting fins, built to pierce personal armor (e.g ballistics mesh, cloth, leather.) The spike can pierce up to 1/4 inch of ballistics mesh with lethal force as long as it strikes a vital organ (brain, heart, lung).

Name: Tungsten Shatter-core Rounds
General Description: 1/4 inch tungsten spikes with a tiny amount of impact-trigger explosives in the center.
Ammo: 60 spikes on a belt fed from a small box inserted into the side of the gun.
Bullet Description
The Shatter-core rounds are built with destruction in mind. Looking like regular High-grade spikes, the Shatter-core rounds, on high-velocity impact, shatter into shards of high-speed tungsten capable of damaging un-armored targets easily.

===== Weapon Mechanisms: =====

Safety: Yes, a switch behind the trigger will retract all bullets back into the drum clip.

Weapon Sight: Foresight.
Attachment Hard points: Optional flashlight/laser sight track on the right side of the gun barrel.

History:

Designed as an assault rifle for law enforcement and civilian use, the FL-10 was intensely designed and rehearsed, numerous attempts being made to correct design flaws, such as adapting the design to change from the original titanium to a more effective tungsten round.

Despite this, progress is being made, albiet slowly.
 
Yay! And I assure you Andrew, I had no idea that you were using Porcupine as one of your tech submission names.

Honest beginner's mistake
