Spitting Cobra

CACG Asset File
The "Spitting Cobra" Dart Rifle is a relatively new addition to Operative Reptile's loadout, introduced alongside the "Stinging Scorpion" Dart Pistol and the Field Chemical Lab. The Cobra's main purpose is to allow Reptile to use his abilities at a range, whether it be his venom or specially concocted chemical cocktails. The rifle is chambered in CACG Standard Chemical Payload (CSCP) 9mm rounds. These rounds can be filled with anything that is liquid at room temperature, This means the rounds can be filled with poison, soda, or even holy water if needed. To allow for easy cleanup and higher-velocity operation, each round has a ferromagnetic core at its center. During cleanup operations, these rounds will be collected using a magnetic collector, and will then be reprocessed (and by extension, sterilized) into fresh ammunition.

The Cobra utilizes a hybrid firing method, initially firing the dart rounds with traditional black powder methods, and then rapidly accelerating the round using a built in electromagnet assembly around the barrel. The gauss power provided to the dart is variable, controlled by a dial on the side of the gun. At maximum power without overclocking, the Cobra can launch a dart at up to 1.5km/s (~5ft/s).

Being part of a whole "set," the Cobra synergizes exceptionally well with the Scorpion and FCL, with the full set bringing both short-range and long-range defense with the ability to utilize local compounds for exceptionally effective chemical ammunition. Utilizing all three, Reptile will become a veritable powerhouse out in the field.
