PWS-SAS

The PWS-SAS is a standardly equipped side arm provided to the Rifleman Corps as well as all other branches of the ground forces (SAAS,SAAB,SAAG) it is used as a personal defense weapon for the off chance that a soldier may lose his or her weapon or that they are out of ammunition while engaging targets.

Specifications
The PWS-SAS is effective (in accuracy) to 100m and fires a relatively small round of 3.45x19. The round itself is not underpowered when used within the confines of its specifications, however when firing at targets it may prove to be less effective if hitting limbs and non essential spots on the body, meaning that a single round is unlikely to kill any enemy unless it is fired into the upper torso or head, however the round is capable of penetrating even the best armor given a range of 50m and shot at a flat angle. There are no attachments for the pistol itself as it is rarely used unless in tight spaces, the pistol fires the cartridge using kinetic energy produced by its signature design.

The Pistol has a unique and revolutionary system of generating enough kinetic energy to fire the 3.45x19 round at 2000fps within such a small package, the barrel of the weapon (12.7cm) is not enough to propel the round with enough power to defeat armor at even close range. In the face of this problem a new type of magazine was created. The Pistol has a specialized magazine which itself creates enough kinetic energy to fire the round at 2000fps, the bullets within are charged and accelerated throughout the magazine and expelled from the barrel requiring no magnetic fields within the barrel itself. While the magazine is highly sophisticated, useful for cqb and well designed, it however has the fault of dedicating most of its space solely to imparting force upon the bullet. This means that the magazine has a low ammo capacity which currently stands at 10 rounds. The magazines are also incredibly expensive to produce. The PWS-SAS has no external or internal attachments due to the rare usage of the firearm despite its ubiquitous deployment with armed forces, the lack of attachments also results from the hindering although unique design.
