Magnum Rail Pistol -9
"Bane"

As with all Caldari, the Magnum Pistol is top notch when it comes to effiency. Able to bring down hostile dropsuits in very few shots conserves ammo saving state security forces a significant amount of expenditures.

Mastering the "Bane" Pistol is very simple as its easy to aim and it fires without recoil. The major drawbacks is the charge up time before it fires, this trait alone makes those unfamilar with its operation difficult to use and time for the firing. The ammunition is specially crafted for anti-dropsuit use and thus are extremly large sized and complex for a pistol making it difficult to resupply it quickly when using nano assisting devices.

Once the trigger is pulled the pistol aligns its relays into position and chambers the round into the dynamo. This process does two things, first it begins to slag the round's metal core into a molten mass by subjecting it to stressful amounts of magnetic forces. Then it energizes the penetrator warhead which functions as the anchor for the magentic bottle for the molten material and assists in penetration of armored targets by performing a last microsecond burn in triggered by magnetic fields of the usually armored targets. This delay between trigger pull and firing is anywhere from 1 to 2 seconds but its accompanied by a satisfying charge noise and glow.

After firing and the penetrator head has impacted, the molten slag of the round's core is forced though the penator head shredding the slag into thosands of deadly molten projectiles on the other side of the impacted defense layer. Because the technology is a downsized and simplified rocket assisted railgun, several normally considered safety features where sacrificed to make it man portable. Such as the inability to cancel charge once triggered and containment of metal shards that fall outside the field during cycling known as scatter. The back blast which is evenly distributed thoughout the gap between the pistol's two amatures can also cause serious injury and stresses the pistol out but this does result in the pistol's recoiless operation useful in zero gravity envrionments.

Because majority of the rail system is in the upper receiver of the weapon its ammo and energy has to be bottom fed though the handle and has a slower reload time in comparison to other top loading pistols.

The Bane offers some of the slowest refire rates out of all New Eden's pistols but its stopping ability is without a question undisputed, because of this it was named the Bane Pistol.
