TRI-COR

Not all weapons used by the SAAS require incredible penetration power, in some altercations that the SAA come into penetrating a single target is not enough to provide effective support, for example the overwhelming armies of green utilize their numbers to overcome the smaller forces of the SAA. That being said, sniper regiments do not always operate as a direct force in which to divert enemy fire or to suppress enemies. In fact the nature of the sniper regiments allow for the TRI-COR to be an incredibly useful device within the field. Sniper regiments are often deployed either behind enemy lines or far behind front lines where they can give effective support to battalions and individual units, however when deployed behind enemy lines they can serve a more devious purpose which can heavily afflict enemy morale.

Sabotage is within the capabilities of the SAAS due to their covert and far away nature, the TRI-COR is used as an anti-personnel and mild anti-material weapon which is most effective used deep behind enemy lines or within a space that is predicted to be an enemy FOB or an area which is determined to be lost by the SAA. The TRI-COR is a tri-barreled tri exhaust weapon which is used to covertly and effectively lay anti-personnel landmines and trip wires from a considerable distance of 100m.

## Controversy

The morality of the weapon has been called into question as to the regards for civilian safety but the ruthless and dark manner of the Sniper Corps scarcely reveals the usage of the TRI-COR and officially it is a weapon that is “rarely used” to the public media. This document merely acknowledges its existence.

## Ammunition

The TRI-COR deploys two types of ammunition which deal a great deal of harm to closely packed enemies and singular targets, the first type of ammunition utilizes the triple barrel by firing three consecutive stick mines, those of which function using a very primitive but effective laser system, the stick mines contain a surface plate which reads and detects the light and specific wavelength of their adjacent stick mines. When any of the mines no longer detect the input of the other they simultaneously detonate in order to inflict maximum damage to any targets caught within the blast wave.

## Specifications

The mines themselves are 10cm in length and 2cm in diameter, they have a maximum effective blast radius of 10m and a maximum shrapnel range of 60m. They can be deployed as close together as necessary or as far apart as 3m apart from each other collectively covering 6m in length. Users of the TRI-COR have begun using (entirely in testing phases and in no way on the battlefield;)) a rather ingenious method of placement, in which they fire in a triangle pattern which creates a concave force within the blast radius, this can tear through entire walls if placed correctly or completely annihilate a group of soldiers who may walk within the effective covered area of the trap.

Secondly the TRI-COR can fire individual disc mines that measure 13cm in Diameter which while not doing as much destructive power as their stick counter parts can effectively block off an entire field by strategically placing them, they do relatively low damage with a maximum lethal range of 1m but a shrapnel range of 4m, this is purposeful as to merely severely maim soldiers who tread the mines which not only wastes time and resources of armies to repair and save specific members but also demoralizes targets as they witness their fellow soldiers injured and screaming in a bright flash of light. These mines are flung at low speeds via a unique propulsion method within the rifle, that is to say that the rifle accelerates a metal piece within itself which in turn imparts force upon the armament similar to a crossbow or ballista, this is to flatly and precisely deploy armaments oriented in the correct position of land properly and deal as much damage as possible.

This weapon is extremely useful on encroaching armies and can hinder their advance by several days as they repeatedly run into mine after mine and take mounting casualties and medical cases. Although the added downside is possible civilian harm which makes the use of this weapon “rare”. Currently the projectiles fired out of the TRI-COR fly at about 100m per second which makes the usage of the firearm silent although slow, this should be accounted for when firing in order to not alert suspicion as it lands.
