Introducing the N.01 (Now For Sale)

Caseless Round Personal Defense Weapon (CRPDW/N.01)
Armatech Industries has a new slogan, "The Future of Combat", and if the CRPDW is any indication, then they're not bluffing. I had the pleasure of firing one of these guns at a recent show, and I'll tell you, there is no finer gun for personal defense. Built from a joint Armatech and Sag Industries concept, the design is simple in concept, but innovative in its creation. Small (2mm) bullets, wrapped in a molded explosive, are fed from a clip just in front of the molded pistol grip. The first round is loaded, and when the trigger is pulled, a small spark (generated from the rear-inserted battery) strikes the explosive and detonates it. This fires the bullet through whichever of the three barrels is currently aligned. The vaccuum pulls the next round into the chamber, and the recoil is diverted to spin the next barrel into alignment. This in turn, charges the spark chamber, and triggers the next round. The current is checked by many sources, including a resistor plate over the clip, the removal of the trigger/primer, and an alignment groove on the barrels. In such a method, this gun fires at speeds of over sixty rounds per second.

With a flip of a switch, the clip falls away, and the tri-barrel assembly detatches. To load another assembly while the first cools, one must simply push the barrels into the receiving end and turn them, much like one loads bits into a drill. Armatech has incorporated many redundant current safeties into the gun to prevent misfire or misuse, including palm-coding and an overheat breaker that prevents firing into a fused barrel. Each of the 2mm "Needles" is made of Tungsten Carbide, designed to slide through armored vests, and this gives the gun it's nickname, the "Needler".

The clips are available in 30, 60, and 120 round variants, double-stacked. More could be loaded, but the barrels generally fuse at about 200 rounds continuous, and with the firing speeds, that is no time at all. This gun is designed for defense only, as it depletes its clip in under a second with 60 or less rounds. It is a guaranteed kill on the target, but in a multi-target engagement, the firing rate becomes a deficiency rather than a boon. (It has been suggested to swing the gun in an arc and leave a "buzz saw effect" of Needles, but this is likely to cause massive collateral.) The military has already picked up this weapon and dubbed it the N.01, and it is catching on with personal defense enthusiasts and bodyguards. It has my recommendation.

(The N.01 Needler comes with a laser sight.)

Here is a computer rendering of the Needler:

Very intriguing. If it is possible to add a 5 round burst mode, the Dodekistan Secret Service may be interested in evaluating a few models for high threat, concealed carry environments.

The addition of the five round burst is no problem, and we can ship you twenty of these weapons with four 120 round clips free of charge, as you are our ally.

Pending this recomendation, Armatech has added the 5 round burst as standard on all of the Needlers. An added boon in the delayed recoil of the gun, in that all five rounds will be clear before the recoil strikes the user.

Seeing as my country is in need of more defensive weapons, purchasing a few of these could benefit us. Make me an offer and I will review it. Thank you.

We appreciate this gesture, and will keep our alliance in mind when reviewing these weapons. Competition for this contract is stiff, with the MP7 (shown below).

By the way, if it is at all possible, could you possibly make a larger clip for more ammunition?
16-01-2004, 23:02
I will take 5 100 boxes. I will use these in a simulation test and will then purchase more if the gun fits my nation's requirements and is accepted. Thank you. I shall send you the money immediatey.

They are being packed and shipped now, along with manuals and technical books on their use, maintenance, and repair. Unfortunately, while larger clips could be produced, the heat would fuse the barrels. They can fire 200 rounds reliably, but we don't wish to risk a misfire at these firing speeds, so we sell in only 120 rounds or less.

And now, the NMG.1

The water cooled Needler Machine Gun One fires the same 2mm caseless rounds as the N.01, but this includes a larger capacitor and a water cooling system, allowing it to achieve both faster firing rates and longer sustained fire times. The box of ammunition holds a belt of twelve hundred rounds, while the water cooling allows the user the ability to continually fire without fear of overheat. This gun is mounted, and tripod mounted versions are available. Soldiers in tests have jokingly wondered if the TC Needles could cut a tank in half. Armatech is reportedly testing this.

Great weapon!:o
Soon to become the Standard issue weapon of my entire military.

will take 10,000 for $5,000,000

10,000 x 500 = $5,000,000

possible looking at purchasing more depending on how effective it turns out to be.
