Surikov KS-8 Heavy Slug AMR
Heavy anti-materiel rifle; bolt-action, single-shot precision.
The KS-8 is a heavy anti-materiel rifle built for operators who need to reach out and touch something well beyond the range of standard infantry weapons. The KS-8 fires a massive 14.5mm sabot round at extreme velocity, achieving armour penetration that rivals early-generation railguns at a fraction of the cost and complexity. The weapon is bolt-action, single-shot -- each round is individually loaded and the operator picks targets deliberately. Its weight and recoil demand a bipod or rest, and a spotter is standard doctrine. The KS-8 is popular with PMC snipers, Rim warlord sharpshooters, and Legion designated marksmen who operate in environments where energy signatures are a liability. Ammunition is heavy and expensive, but a single well-placed shot can disable a vehicle, breach a hardened position, or eliminate a target behind cover.
