Sublimation (n, chemistry): The transition of a substance from the solid phase directly to the vapor state, such that it does not pass through the intermediate liquid phase.

This weapon is intended to be an individual-portable version of the Metal Storm.

Parts Used

I started with the base game Anti-Materiel Rifle and removed everything except the pistol grip and trigger guard. I then added the handguard from the Light Machine Gun, the buttstock from the Marksman Carbine, and various bits and pieces from the Bozar.

Dr. Quarton's Notes

The terminal entry in Dr. Quarton's laboratory notes the following:

Project #G-747-R - "Sublimator"

Within the field of chemistry, sublimation is the process by which a
substance in the solid state transitions directly into its vapor state
without first passing through its liquid state. Guess what I discovered
happens to a human body when it gets hit by a cloud of ball bearings
from this projector?
