Capsule: After the success of the Genesis Mk V Hunting Rifle, in both legal and illegal circles, the Genesis firearms company was approached by many hunters to build more specialised weapons. Genesis began making weapons specific to their customers needs, for a considerable price. One such customer required a weapon to be quiet and effective with minimum recoil. Despite many prototypes, nothing seemed to please the anonymous customer, but as he was funding the research and didn't kick up a fuss when he didn't immediately get what he wanted, Genesis continued their efforts. Eventually, one of the designers decided to experiment with railgun technology. Finally a rifle was constructed with no noticeable recoil, incredible punch and shots that were almost silent.

The customer arrived to try out his new rifle and was incredibly happy with his new toy. He paid the final instalment on the weapon and took his leave. On leaving the building, the stranger met an unfortunate demise at the hands of an unknown assailant. The people at Genesis did the best they could for their recent customer, but unfortunately he died. The railgun, however, was recovered. Shortly after, the Genesis Mk I Heavy Recoilless Rifle went into limited production and is still available to people with the right connection.
