MA5T

The is a high caliber pistol manufactured by Ionia Armoury, derived from the MJ pistol series, evidenced by the characteristic design, but noted for its power, precision and larger size. Contrary to its appearance, the black barrel extension is not a suppressor.
== Design ==
The MA5T is considered a modernized variant of the MJ5. It sports a black steel and chromed finish. Like the base MA5, the MA5T is semi-automatic, recoil-operated and magazine-fed, but notably featured a longer barrel and an integrated laser-flashlight module mounted underneath. The variant also boasts increased accuracy and is most effective with precision aiming. It features a smoother slide design and a Projection sight to support smart scope functionality. The M6H2 also features a protective metamaterial coating, which is shared with the MA4B OD battle rifle.
The MA5T uses 12.7×33mm X315 (Semi-Armour Piercing, High Explosive) .50 caliber ammunition loads, a specific variant of the 50 Supreme Express. These rounds have a jacket of copper or cupro-nickel around the projectile while the projectile itself is hollow and filled with an explosive compound and a delayed-detonation impact fuse. When the round impacts a target, the jacket will initially help the projectile maintain its shape, allowing it to travel into the target before detonating almost immediately after impact, causing massive tissue damage and system shock. Probable reasons for using semi-armour piercing rounds instead of armor piercing projectiles are both to prevent over-penetration of hostiles and decreasing the risk of friendly fire during CQB and urban combat, and their devastating efficacy against soft targets. The explosive properties of the rounds render them decently effective against personal shielding systems and are also capable of damaging lightly-armored vehicles.
It has no problems using standard 50 SE ammunition, evidenced by their heavy use when X315 rounds suffered a massive shortage.
