Moon Man Electric Carbine

Description

The small arm of the Moon Men is a lightweight, short-barreled gauss carbine. It has a shorter range and less stopping power than most Earth weapons larger than a pistol, but its principle advantage is its very large magazine. The weapon has an automatic-fire setting, but this is never used by the Moon Men (its use is, in fact, prohibited) due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to manufacture the special magnetic darts fired by the rifle.
