MSR-001

The MSR-001 is a magnetic sniper rifle which is produced in Academy City. It is a sniper rifle that uses electromagnets to fire steel bullets. Its construction is apparently simpler than that of a railgun and has a muzzle velocity of 280m/s. As it does not use gunpowder there is no recoil. Without the shock that most sniper rifles produce, sensitive aiming equipment can be attached very precisely to it. When using gunpowder, a certain amount of strength is required to withstand the recoil during firing. Also due to its lack of gunpowder it creates no sound making it a stealthy weapon. It is the weapon of choice for Sunazara Chimitsu.
