Magnabow: A crossbow like weapon, the weapon fires slugs in a very complex manner.

The shot is fired normally, but it is then held in a stasis field. The stasis field then moves forward along the length of the barrel, until finally releasing the slug again. The energy from the stasis field then forms an elongated barrel, giving the slug to hold precision whilst not loosing any speed in the barrel. The Magnabow is an automatic Assault Rifle with long effective range, offset by its slow firing speed. Each slug collides with twice the force of the standard Avenger rifle slugs, forming an effective Battle Rifle.

The complexity of the Magnabow's creation makes it a rare addition, and is often replaced by more easily created weapons such as the Vindicator. However, in light of the Reaper Invasion, these have started being massproduced at lowered price to all the troops across Citadel space.
