Weapons of Atherion/Long-Range Rifles

A list of all long-range rifles used by the Order Alliance and Remnant Rebels
== Remnant Rebels ==
=== SG-AM35 SRS 'Widowmaker' ===
An advanced Anti-Materiel rifle that uses railgun technology, the AM35 has an enormous maximum effective, able to deliver a high-density 12.7x99mm explosive core slug to a target up to 3.5k away in the hands of a proficient sniper. Deceptively cheap to manufacture, these rifles are made primarily from technology 'borrowed' from the Order Alliance, in addition to reverse-engineered components manufactured by the Remnants.
Most of the heat produced by the build up and discharge of the electrical magnetic currants upon firing the weapon is retrained inside the empty casing. This, while resulting in the operator's need of heavy duty gloves to avoid burns, helps keep the weapon cool to fire several magazines before heat from jamming occurs.
It's recoil is low enough to prevent need for bipods or tripods and can be fired on the move allowing a wider degree of flexibility.

===AAR-15 Mark-V 'Eviscerator'===
A somewhat outdated anti-armour rifle, a combination of the weapons weight, expense, and DNA-based failsafe have rendered it obsolete, however it is a favorite of infiltration specialists as the weapon is reliable and can be easily customized. the MK-V uses custom machined .50 caliber tungsten-core anti-materiel rounds capable of piercing through heavy infantry armor and light vehicle armor with ease, although they are quite expensive. This particular model has been nicknamed 'Eviscerator' because of the nearly guaranteed fatality of a direct hit. with the deployment of the MK-VI, this firearm has been mostly retired, however a few of them are still in use by soldiers specializing in field operations related to intelligence gathering and assassination.
===AAR-15 Mark-VI 'Skullbuster'===
The newest in the AAR-15 family, the MK-VI is equipped with the advanced neural failsafe common to the current generation of Order Aliance weapons. this model of anti-armour rifle uses a custom high-caliber anti-tank round, roughly double the size of those used by the MK-V. In addition to the other enhancements, the MK-VI has a powerful long-range multi-spectrum scope, capable of locking and tracking targets behind cover, while a secondary cap on the slug allows it to tunnel through concrete and steel, making at a lethally effective counter-sniper rifle in addition to its intended anti-armour properties. Optional mission-specific modifications include explosive and incendiary rounds, as well as suppressors and a lighter weight frame.
===M-025 'Ranger'===
A more 'tame' variant of the Order sniper rifles. The M-025 is a 12.7x99mm anti-material sniper rifle designed for taking out lightly armoured targets such as jeeps or heavy infantry. Fairly cheap to produce and quite light thanks to easily-accessed advanced alloys, the M-025 has seen wide range deployment with the Order Alliance then it's bigger cousin the V22 'Spectre'.
It can use a wide range of ammunition ranging from APEC (armour-piercing-explosive-core) rounds to the more expensive and effective APFSDS rounds.
===V22 'Spectre'===
The biggest and most dangerous of all Order rifles. The V22 'Spectre' is an anti-material rifle chambered in 14.7x114mm APFSDS (Armour-Piercing Fin-Stabilized-Discarding-Sabot) rounds.
