SNCQ-14 SBR

The SNCQ-14 is a semi automatic twin exhaust rifle, it carries the powerful 12.7x17.4 cartridge, it is regarded as overkill when it comes to dealing with soft targets and any walls which do not have solid cores, this power is provided by the high speed of the round as it spends a substantially longer amount of time within the barrel of the gun allowing it to gain more kinetic energy (1500fps) The barrel itself is 60.96 cm (overall length, the barrel is mostly within the weapon and does not stick out very far.)

## Specifications

The SNCQ-14 has a maximum fire rate of 1600, this is barely achievable by normal standards, it does not fire on automatic but instead has an upper cap to how fast the trigger can be pulled and a bullet can come out. It would be highly inadvisable to fire the SNCQ-14 at such speeds as the recoil and horizontal action would become too great for muscle and bone to receive thus resulting in the breaking of the limb that is touching the stock of the weapon. The recoil is moderate when fired at a normal pace (around 400 RPM) but is substantially higher in recoil than the SFR-32, the round that is fired does not rely on gunpowder but similarly uses Kinetic technology and Supplementary magic (weather magic, enough to build up steam within the weapon, this prevents misfires and helps the magnetic fields within the gun to operate at maximum capacity) Sadly despite this rifles power it is rarely used by average forces as the recoil proves to interfere with close quarters combat, the rare chance that the SAA must fight in open ground or from long range this rifle is used quite commonly. The SNCQ-14 is a high skill level maximum results weapon, the added recoil from the sheer force of propelling the round down range keeps this weapon as an effective but harder to use alternative to the SFR-32

The SNQC-14 has added designs to it which attempt to mitigate recoil, originally the rifle itself was not twin exhaust which left very little in the way of recoil dampening, the twin exhausts function to blow air up out of the barrel using some of the supplementary weather magic as a source of steam and air. The rifle without this magic has much higher recoil than normal and is liable to cause the “Black eye of shame” when fired from a long range scope while also not utilizing its exhaust functionality. The term comes from the incredibly hard kick imparting onto the eye of the user, however this is rare due to its other more suitable attachments.

## Attachments

Attachments for the SNQC-14 mostly pertain to recoil management but there are many options which transform the SNQC-14 into either a more long range or more short range rifle.

Optics for the SNQC-14 are attached integrally within the gun by assembling the rifle and disassembling in order to remove it this prevents the weapon from “losing zero” as its fired with its high payload, this also has the added benefit of allowing the user to continue to use the iron sights while using the optic as well at the cost of partial visibility loss. Typically the rifle will be fitted with a high tech optic called an AVOS or Azure/Variable/Offensive/Sight, this sight is designed to be used within close quarters and long range engagements, it functions with an advanced variable system that allows for the sight to adjust to any magnification or lack there of that is feasibly needed, the scope itself while powered down or set to CQB remains without magnification while also using illuminated sights or otherwise called “Laser sights” which give the user an extremely clear line of sight, while its most magnified setting incrementally increases by 1 magnification all the way until 40x standard vision, the usage of the maximum is rare but useful when needed. Other sights vary in purpose but are rare in use as the AVOS is the most functional within all conditions that the SAA come into.

Attachments for the SNQC-14 are very select, there are only three attachments that are in common supply to be used on the SNQC-14. The first attachments allows for the addition of a secondary container of supplemental magic, which overloads the exhausts in an effort to mitigate the recoil of the rifle, its is commonly used but has an added down side, the addition of this secondary container makes the weapon heavier than necessary and adds on to the clunky feel of the front container as well as needing a more skilled and practiced magic user. However the added power to the exhausts make the recoil negligible and similar to a non kinetic weapon.

Secondly there is the XMR-11 Conversion kit, the conversion kit allows for the SNQC-14 to fit into a smaller package while maintaining the power of the weapon, the conversion kit eliminates most of the weapons bulk in exchange for a massive amount of recoil, similar to a hand canon in function, this variant of the weapon has been labeled the “wrist breaker” by many lower enlisted as they see their Squad Leaders commonly use them. The weapon itself normally does not break wrists but there have been many instances of scrawny soldiers using the weapon and suffering life changing results. However the added recoil is worth it to most Squad Leaders as they consider it a secondary weapon or even a primary weapon in which to use in room fighting It also serves very well as a covert weapon when in need of Guerrilla operations. The overall length of the weapon after the conversion kit is used is around 30cm allowing it to be concealed very easily.

Lastly the third attachment used by the SAA is an OPTIWAND bendable face plate which allows the user to see around corners before approaching, making this highly useful within CQB scenarios.
