Astrakhanian Equipment

The Astrakhanian Military uses a wide variety of equipment. Here is some of it. Most of this is only publicly available due to Sector 8 releasing them.

Railgun
The standard issue Railgun is the infantryman's best friend. It is the most common weapon in use in Astrakhan service, and for good reason. I'm sure you all know how it works, so I will not get into that. It carries 24 depleted uranium rounds, with two extra cartridges. However, due to it's need of powerful magnets to fire the depleted uranium, it is very large indeed. It's depleted uranium shells fire at a low velocity, due to only being paramagnetic, and not ferromagnetic.

Laser-rifle
The laser rifle is an uncommon weapon in use by the Astrakhanian military. It is often only used in elite regiments like Guard or Marines. It is a high-power, small-lens laser, capable of doing a lot of damage to a small target area. It is a similar design to those used on ships in the Astrakhanian navy. Unlike the railgun, however, it is smaller and much more compact. This is why it is used primarily by Marines, as they can't be carrying around large railguns all day while fighting ship-to-ship.
