Needlers
Kevlar and Monocrys have minimum resistance to any sort of needler. They are not as regulated as beam weapons, are small and light, and carry a lot of shots without reloading. They are also very difficult to detect; chemscanners can't find them and radscanners are at -3 for Gauss needlers and cannot detect needlers at all. Needlers also lack the Punch of of Kinetic weapons.
The enormous rate of fire of Gauss needlers makes them especially deadly to unarmored targets. Since they are effectively recoilless, it is easy for a skilled shooter to get most of the shots from even a long burst into the target. The weakness of any needler is against rigid armor. The thin, frangible needles disintegrate against anything they cannot penetrate.
