LOVE ammo was ment to be a joke amoung StarEx designers. but someone there was marginaly intellegent and decided to make LOVE ammo. Light Orderance and Very Effective. LOVE ammo is a variation of the Gauss slug. firing the same nickle iron slugs you've come to know and love, but significantly lighter and more of them. Somewhat like a Needler Pistol. cept a lot bigger. the rifle fires exactly 20 smaller NiFe slugs. these rip through armour a bit more efficiently than normal Gauss slugs, in fact, 20% more efficiently. in field tests, these 20 "needles" ripped easily through a ton of ferro armour. the resulting ammunition is also lighter than old slugs. making them light, and very effective.
Tons: 15
Crits: 8
Dmg: 2 points per needle
Heat: 1
rng s/m/l: 6/13/20
ammo/ton: 24
when applying hits in short range all shots hit the same location. when at medium and long range. roll the 20 missle hit colom. damage as per cluster rounds.
my blurb:
yeah i know this has probably been tired before, but the name is cool. keep on the look out for CUTE, FLUFFY and PRETTY.

How do you figure out how many needle's hit? 
Nothing is Impossible, It is only Improbable.

Like an LRM 20, it said.
I like the design. Balanced enough - it'll do 12 points more often than 20.
