BSA SMX-16 Rex

Description

This rotary anti-materiel rifle is based off of the much smaller SMX-15 Raptor, and the internal workings are near identical in function, though scaled and fit to the larger size of the Rex.

The Rex is strictly an anti-materiel rifle, as it is much too unwieldy and heavy for general purpose sniping. It is chambered for a caseless version of the .90 VHMG round.

Due to the even more powerful rounds of the Rex, the entire drum magazine and drum frame are removable and exchangable. This helps keep the weapon ready to fire as heat buildup from firing will damage the drum after continued use - changing drums thus has the same effect of changing barrels on machine guns, to let the part cool.

The scope is more or less integrated directly into the rifle, though it can be removed for maintenance.

Arms world bite-size info:

Revolver type magazines are quite resilent, yet heavy and short in rounds; and difficult to reload. Box mags are compact, lightweighted, has more aviable ammo and are easy and faster to reload.
