Welcome to Gaia! ::

Core
The central core of the bullet is a 'blended metal' core, made out of a mixture of metals. The base metals used in these formulations are usually a very fine powder. Copper, tungsten, and brass are examples of some of the base powdered metals used to date. These powdered metals are mixed with a binder such as tin, zinc, or a polymer such as nylon. Once the powdered metal(s) and binder(s) are mixed, they are pressed or molded into the final projectile core form, and in some cases sintered. The advantage of using a blended metal bullets is that when the material goes through a hard target, such as a bullet proof vest, the mixture and hardness of the bullets allows for the dispersion of heat to primarily enter the hard objects- this reducing the amount of energy exerted on the bullet itself. When entering a soft target, like living tissue, the bullets mixture instead directs heat towards itself, disintegrating the 'bond' or in reality the binder of the bullet, and causing the primary bullet materials to expand rapidly, and at their accelerated speed, cause large wound cavities or damage in soft targets.

Full Metal Jacket
The full metal jacket of the rifle consists of a copper covered jacket, designed to work in the same manner that every other full metal jacket works. The copper piece is designed to reduce barrel wear and reduce the bullet build up inside the weapon, and be removed by the surface of whatever it contacts. In addition to this, a fine layer of polytetrafluoroethylene, or Teflon. Teflon has a friction ratio with steel of nearly 0.01, making it one of the slickest surfaces on the planet. Because of this, each bullet is coated in a fine spray of this, allowing the bullet to exit the barrel with as little wear to the actual barrel as possible. This essentially allows the barrel to be able to support the extreme velocity achieved by the bullet, and to reduce the event of jams and to reduce the number of cleaning required. In addition to this, it allows for a bullet of it's kind to reduce any problems associated with it's high velocity and high density and immalleability.

Parent Case

The round is based off of the 6.8mm x 43mm Remington SPC, almost entirely. The round size is almost identical, however casing and propellant are radically different. The weight, or over-all mass, of the entire cartridge is roughly 38% less than it's original format, or is 11.2 grams. The sheer volume of the round is 2194 square mm, compared to 5284 square mm, or has 58.5% less volume. One might also note that despite having less than half the total volume, the propellant of the round is stored in a square shape, rather than a round one, decreasing the space ordinarily present between cylindrical rounds and giving the highest propellant to space ratio. The propellant used is a mix of hexagon as binder and nitrocellulose, which is more powerful but develops higher pressures. The primary person of the propellant however, is to lower the chance of a "cook-off", or accidental fired round. The rounds, being caseless as they are, are more exposed to heat and and other external sources that might potentially set them off, rather than the sheer force of the hammer intended to cause them to fire. Becuase of this, a new, more heat resistant propellant is used, similar to that in the G11 4.7mm round. The differences between are an increase in propellant, more used of the hexagon, and basic innovation and furthered technology allowing the round to have roughly three more times the heat tolerance increase, which allows the new propellant to withstand roughly more than 660 degrees Fahrenheit of the original round, increasing it's temperature threshold to over 900 degrees. The bullet, obviously, differs from the original round by the previous notifications- such as the full metal jacket, the latex, and the blended metal. The bullet instead preforms extraordinarily efficiently, allowing it to surpass the original casing, while still keeping it's primary format and the original advantages.
