EVR assault rifle

Avex EVR`Category:Infantry Weapons <Infantry_Weapons.html>`_ The EVR is Avexs answer to the Salier P6 assault rifle. In their attempts to break into the atmospheric weaponry market they leveraged their considerable experience with Magnetic accelerators to create a range of Magnetic weapons. Known as Railguns of Gauss Rifles the EVR is the latest attempt to steal Saliers crown. While the EVR has incredibly low recoil for a rifle of its capabilities Avex still haven't managed to stop the overheating problems inherent in their designs.

The EVR can fire around 21 rounds in full auto mode before being forced into Cool-Off mode which cracks the barrel open and exposes the magnetic rails to the atmosphere to speed up heat dissipation. This makes the weapon useless for several seconds before it can be fired again.

The EVR is not a subtle weapon. Avex still haven't found a way to silence the considerable noise it makes while firing and in addition to this there is a distinctly audible whine immediately before the weapon is fired as the capacitors charge up.

The EVR uses standard U class ammunition and is capable of using the more specialist UP round (Plasma) and UI round (Ion Disruptor) in addition to the standard 8mm UB round.

The sheer expense and difficulty of maintenance has restricted the EVRs use to prviliged personell and heavy shock troops in the AIA. While the EVR is certainly a superior anti-infantry weapon under the right conditions the Salier P6's versatility and low cost keeps it in the hands of most of the AIAs forces.
