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.

Normally when using gunpowder, a certain amount of strength is required to withstand the recoil during firing, which has several effects on the sniper such as changing the accuracy of the aim and slightly throwing out of balance the sniper. Since this rifle isn't subject to that design fault it is much better suited for repeated shooting than a regular sniper rifle, also due to its lack of gunpowder it creates no sound making it a stealthy weapon.

It is used by Sunazara Chimitsu when he worked with SCHOOL.

To power the railgun, a battery pack disguised in a suitcase is necessary. .
