    Name: RPB, 'Slammers'




    Description: A full metal jacket 5.56 projectile in a .50 caliber case, most of the gunpowder has been replaced with a tiny, rapidly accelerating rocket propulsion system.




    Abilities: Will pierce level IV kevlar and light metal plating. (Think Glitch)




    Has a muzzle velocity of 1500 m/s (4900 fps)




    Limitations: The rounds are extremely unstable and only have a 30% chance of hitting their target at ranges over 30 meters (~100 feet) (roll 1d10, 3 and less is a hit). 20 meters is 70%, 5 meters is 100%.




    The lack of gunpowder makes it impossible to use the rounds in a full- or semi-automatic weapon. 




    The 5.56 projectile is small and relies on bleeding and incapacitating the target over killing it instantly.




    You need a .50 caliber rifle to fire 5.56 rounds. How terrible.




    Conditional Limitations (Optional): The rounds easily over-penetrate.




    How does it work: A tiny, unguided rocket is fit to the bottom of a 5.56 projectile and inserted into a .50 BMG case, with some gunpowder and plastic to fill the gaps. Once fired, the rocket activates from the gunpowder explosion and rapidly propels the round forward.




    Flavor text: 'Smartass' of the 'Gas Guzzlers' deadbeat tribe recently made this to fight the heavily armored 'Death Machines'.  It received mixed reviews.




    Attainability: Open

    Alright, let's begin. First off, the rounds would probably need to be made of something special so that they don't shatter and/or ricochet all over the place, especially when firing at an armored target. Could you add something to the Flavor Text or something to reflect this?
