M96

The M96 was a Charisian bolt action rifle, fitted with a 10 round detachable box magazine that used .45 caliber rounds, a necked up version of their revolver cartridges (This was stated as a way to simplify the assembly of cartridges).

They are capable of a much higher rate of fire than their previous Mahndrayn Trap Doors or breach loading paper cartridge fed rifles.

One major advantage was the ability for the M96 rifles to use smokeless powder, this allowed them to get much greater velocity and stopping power than their previous weapons.
