Fenris Armory

Fenris Armory is a Firearms manufacture based in the Scandinavian Union. They are the leading manufacturer of Gauss weapons in the world. There weapons are known to be very reliable, accurate, and pack a stronger punch than traditional chemical propellant firearms. They are also the main supplier of weaponry of the Vital Situation Swift Recourse Agency (VSSR).

Gauss Technology
While Fenris Armory is the leading innovator in Gauss technology, the theory was made by Carl Friedrich Gauss a German Mathematician and Physicist during the early 19th century. The first version of a Gauss weapon was patient in 1904 by Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland who was able to accelerate a 500-gram projectile at 50 m/s (110 mph; 180 km/h; 160 ft/s). In 1933, Texan inventor Virgil Rigsby developed a stationary Gauss gun that was designed to be used like a machine gun but never piqued the interest of any armed forces.

In the early 21st century, experiments were made to create a naval gun sized version of the gun but the energy requirements to use it were too much to make the weapon practical. It wasn't until Fenris Armory was able to advance the technology to the point where it could match traditional methods that interest in the technology by armed forces surfaced. Today Fenris Armory's offerings of weapons out preform traditional firearms in both range, accuracy, and stopping power. However, the weapons take more to maintain and are more costly than traditional chemical propellant firearms so not every nation has adopted the technology.
