Dear ESI colleagues,
Attached to this message are, let's call them leftover blueprints, from my old employer. Since no attempts have been made to retrieve the blueprints as well as the ammunition still in my possession, I assume that they do not mind me sharing. The ammunition in question was a combined effort between Orochi Corp. and GDS - an armour piercing round that detonates after penetrating its target.
The casing houses, like a regular round, the propellant as well as the projectile. However, the projectile is split in three parts - a high explosive compartment, the armour piercing tip of the projectile, and, most crucial, a sensor in the tip that registers the force on impact, therefore determining the density of the target and setting the timer on the explosive charge. The reason for that is, simply put, to ensure versatility against both soft and hard targets. One of the downsides encountered during field testing was the size of the round - it can not be fitted into regular 9mm or 5.56mm rounds. For the system to unfold its potential at least a 7.62x51 NATO round is required.
My question now is: Can ESI replicate the described ammunition? I grew quite fond of it during the instances I was able to use it and would hate to go back to the regular, less lethal, alternatives once my personal stock is depleted. Furthermore, I think the round would be a valuable addtion to ÆSecs arsenal - especially on more dangerous assignments.
Thank you for your time
Regards,
Garvik Hreverssøn
P.S.: I can, of course, provide samples of the ammunition if need be.
