MAUL Mk. 2

The MAUL Mk. 2, the second iteration of the Multi-shot Accessory Underbarrel Launcher (MAUL) design, is a testament to innovation and perfection by NOVA. While Anvil Ironworks initially developed the concept, it is NOVA that deserves the credit for transforming this innovation into a highly efficient and reliable weapon.
== Design ==
The MAUL Mk. 2 is a unique and pioneering shotgun built on Anvil's electronically initiated superposed-load technology. This concept involves loading multiple 12-gauge projectiles nose to tail in a single gun barrel, with propellant packed between them. Each projectile is ignited sequentially using an electrically fired primer, powered by a built-in battery. This design allows the weapon to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. While it effectively operates as semi-automatic, it technically differs, as no energy from firing is used to automate any part of the weapon's operating cycle.
The MAUL Mk. 2 is available in a standalone configuration, making it a versatile choice for various mission scenarios. Alternatively, it can be mounted as an accessory underbarrel launcher, adding even more functionality to a user's primary firearm.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the MAUL Mk. 2 is its reputation as a "toy," primarily due to its extremely low weight and compact size. Despite this, it is anything but a child's plaything. The MAUL Mk. 2 is a potent and reliable firearm, capable of delivering a barrage of firepower in a compact package.
