However, Corporate mercenaries (Iron Bears) and even the Colonial Marines used the WY-102 in roles of long range fire support and assassination. It fire's a super heated slug at extreme velocities that can pierce most forms of body armour and even penetrate thick armour plating of vehicles and structures.
Usage
Edit
The WY-102 Railgun is often employed by Weyland-Yutani security force on forward positions to oversee perimeter defences and act as spotters for incoming enemy forces. They are most actively used by the personnel on the Weyland-Yutani operation held on LV-1201 by Dr. Eisenberg and the Corporate mercaneries, the Iron Bears. The weapon's rotary gas chamber is stimulated with each round of fire.
The slug it fires is capable of ripping through multiple enemies in a single shot and is extremely capable of penetrating the exoskeletal armour of Praetorians. It is also capable of penetrating doors and heavy duty glass windows with ease.
