The Full Stop
The 36x280mm Federal Mass Driver - Tank railgun slug, more commonly known as the 36mm Federal, 36mm Coalition, and, by its most common unofficial nickname, the "Full Stop", is one of the most solidly consistent and powerful railgun slugs fielded by the Praetorian Federation and Coalition of Human Systems.
It has been in service with the Coalition and Federation for at least 40 years and has undergone a number of modifications from nations affiliated with the Coalition, most notably the Garrant Commonwealth. With these variations, the 36mm slug has proven itself to be a formidable anti-tank munition capable of being adapted to almost any battlefield role.
Where not listed, the primary components of 36mm slugs are often steel or aluminum.
Official Variations
Praetorian Federation
36x280mm FMDT M1 - Basic 36mm slug lined with 80% copper at the rail contact points.
Anti-vehicle and anti-fortification applications.
36x277mm FMDT M2 - Modern slug distributed to all Federal armor utilizing 36mm mass drivers. 60% copper at rail contact points, design balanced between impact force and penetration potential.
Anti-armor and anti-fortification applications.
36x250mm FMDT M2A1 - Modern slug modified with hexogen to be reactive upon striking a target directly, resulting in the slug's basic materials detonating. Designed for maximum impact force to achieve proper reaction temperatures. 60% copper at rail contact points, 45% hexogen in basic slug composition.
Anti-armor, anti-infantry, and anti-fortification applications.
36x250mm FMDT M2A1V1 - M2A1 slug with a basic slug composition of 80% hexogen.
Anti-infantry and anti-fortification applications.
36x300mm FMDT M2A2 - Slug designed to replicate the capabilities of the Garran AVRGS 102B fragmentation slug. 50% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-aircraft and anti-infantry applications.
36x300mm FMDT M2A3 - Combination of M2A1 and M2A2 slug designs, utilizing a hexogen slug designed to fragment. The 80% hexogen composition causes individual fragments to detonate upon contact with a target. Used primarily by armored units operating away from allied infantry and light vehicles. 40% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-aircraft and anti-infantry applications.
36x300mm FMDT M3 - Silicon carbide slug used during operations against Verinen, Ollenhall, or other significantly advanced opponents. 90% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-armor and anti-fortification applications.
Garrant Commonwealth
36x280mm AVRGS 100A - Basic slug lined with 94% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-armor and anti-fortification applications.
36x280mm AVRGS 100B - Modern slug lined with 95% copper at rail contact points. Basic slug composition is 40% tungsten, 30% titanium, 5% aluminum, and 25% steel.
Anti-armor and anti-fortification applications.
36x280mm AVRGS 100C - Silicon carbide slug with 98% copper at rail contact points. General issue during major conflicts.
Anti-armor and anti-fortification applications.
36x250mm AVRGS 101A - 70% hexogen slug with 60% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-infantry and anti-fortification applications.
36x250mm AVRGS 101B - 70% hexogen slug with 80% copper at rail contact points. Designed for maximum penetration. Standard issue for patrol units during major conflicts and all vehicles during peacetime.
Anti-armor, anti-infantry, and anti-fortification applications.
36x140mm AVRGS 101C - 90% low explosive (consistency not required) training slug used during live fire war games and gunnery training for armored vehicles. 80% copper at rail contact points.
No intended combat applications, but can be effectively utilized against significantly less advanced armored units and light fortifications.
36x300mm AVRGS 102A - Prototype of the 102B slug. No longer in production. Successful tests led to the integration of remaining experimental stock into general combat usage. Armed Forces munitions census reports all prototype rounds have been fired and detonated successfully.
Anti-infantry and anti-aircraft applications.
36x300mm AVRGS 102B - Fragmentation slug based on tests of the 102A. Slug contains a small computer core connected to a volatile high explosive within the slug. Upon leaving the vehicle's rails, the computer core estimates distance travelled, distance to the target, and target heading to properly detonate the explosive. Distance and heading must be manually input by gunners or loaders. Shrapnel produced from the detonation can penetrate up to 206mm of modern aircraft armor and an estimated nine suits of light powered armor utilizing 45mm of Verinen-produced materials. The 102B has been fully replaced by the 102C in the Commonwealth Armed Forces, but is exported to other Coalition nations. 40% copper at rail contact points.
Anti-infantry and anti-aircraft applications.
36x300mm AVRGS 102C - Improved fragmentation slug with design intended to improve fragmentation pattern controllability and shrapnel penetration potential. New penetration potential is approximately 281mm of aircraft armor and thirteen suits of medium powered armor utilizing 50mm of Verinen-produced materials. 60% copper at rail contact points.
