WMC-50

The **WMC-50**s are proprietary wrist mounted machine pistols/submachine guns heavily used by Nick "Wolf" Bale and Silas "Predator" Wolf on a daily basis. They are dual wrist mounted submachine guns, that is also equipped with a pair of custom grappling hooks.

## Design

The Wrist Mounted Cannons cal.50 are twin wrist mounted submachine guns, primarily constructed from aircraft grade Nevium converted from Orion Steel, and utilized the resources promptly given by Rubicon Industries, stating him that his customized weapon will come in handy incase military grade weaponry are not available at his disposal. The WMC-50s are using a gas-operated mechanism normally found in rifles, as opposed to the short recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols. When a round is fired, gases are ported out through a small hole in the barrel in front of the chamber. These travel forward, through a small tube under the barrel, to a cylinder underneath the front of the barrel. The slide, which acts as the bolt carrier, has a small piston on the front that fits into this cylinder. When the gases reach the cylinder, the piston pushes the slide rearward, with a large pin inside the camming surface in the rear of the bolt causing the bolt to rotate and unlock. A mechanism on the left side of the bolt prevents the bolt from rotating freely as the slide moves, forcing it to remain aligned correctly with the barrel while the breech is open. The spring loaded ejector is continually being depressed by the case, until the case is free of the chamber and the tension from the ejector is released, causing the case to eject, breaking free of the extractor in the process. The slide reaches its rearmost position, then moves forward again under tension of the recoil springs. The bottom lug of the bolt pushes a new round into the chamber, then the bolt locks up and the gun can be fired again.

The Outer shell of the weapon is constructed from durable aircraft grade Nevium alloys, and pretty much every single moving part in the guns, the magazines are loaded on the sides of the weapon, ala Sterling style, that are notably highly compressed despite containing 75 rounds of **.50 Predator** cartridges per magazine. It lacks a functioning trigger that is compensated by an auto command system, meaning the user can fire the guns whenever desired. It is also retrofitted with custom grappling hooks.

The rotating bolt has four radial locking lugs, with the extractor on the right hand side fitting where the fifth lug would be, and strongly resembles the 7-lug bolt of the MK16 series of rifles, while the fixed gas cylinder/moving piston resemble those of the Cypher M62 carbine (the original patent used a captive piston similar to the MN14 rifle).

The advantage of the gas operation is that it allows the use of far more powerful cartridges than traditional semi-automatic pistol designs. Thus it allows the WMC-50 to compete in an area that had previously been dominated by magnum revolvers. Downsides of the gas-operated mechanism are the large size of the WMC-50s (Although it's easily conceleable by Silas "Predator" Wolf and Nick "Wolf" Bale and the fact that it discourages the use of unjacketed lead bullets, as lead particles sheared off during firing could clog the gas release tap, preventing proper function.
