-Developed and manufactured in [[timeline:ye_41]] as part of the [[faction:nepleslia:military|SMDIoN's]] United Maintenance Plan, the Wolfhound HMR-01a is a heavy railgun intended to be used by heavy Power Armor such as the [[wip:faction:nepleslia:equipment:aggressor|Aggressor]] and as a weapon by light vehicles. Utilizing the new [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:umd_canister#vehicle_grade_munition_types|105mm UMD Canisters]], the Wolfhound gives marines and vehicles the capability of dealing with armored targets as well as clusters of targets.+Developed and manufactured in [[timeline:ye_41]] as part of the [[faction:nepleslia:military|SMDIoN's]] United Maintenance Plan, the Wolfhound HMR-01a is a heavy railgun intended to be used by heavy Power Armor such as the [[wip_2023_or_older:faction:nepleslia:equipment:aggressor|Aggressor]] and as a weapon by light vehicles.

Line 9: Line 9:
 In order to achieve the high velocities that the Wolfhound's projectile achieves when fired, and still retain a relatively small weapon, the Wolfhound virtually extends the length of the barrel when firing. It does this using a high powered combat laser to ionize the air directly in front of the barrel, then extends electromagnetic fields that shape the plasma into a virtual electromagnetically charged rails. When the weapon's round is accelerated by the weapon's own internal rails, the virtual barrel will functionally extend the time the payload is accelerated for. When in a situation with no atmosphere, the Wolfhound can spit out its own gas to be ionized. In order to achieve the high velocities that the Wolfhound's projectile achieves when fired, and still retain a relatively small weapon, the Wolfhound virtually extends the length of the barrel when firing.

-When used by an armorsuit, the Wolfhound is a big bazooka of a weapon that requires the user to rest the weapon atop his shoulder while firing rounds from a five-round magazine. The weapon is still large, however, and prevents a marine in armor from using a second primary weapon alongside it. It is recommended that the Wolfhound only be used by the [[wip:faction:nepleslia:equipment:aggressor]].+When used by an armorsuit, the Wolfhound is a big bazooka of a weapon that requires the user to rest the weapon atop his shoulder while firing rounds from a five-round magazine.

 When used in a vehicle, the Wolfhound is somewhat small but can be fed from an autoloader or a manual breach depending on the parent vehicle. When used in a vehicle, the Wolfhound is somewhat small but can be fed from an autoloader or a manual breach depending on the parent vehicle.
