In use by 2478, the C-14 fires hypersonic 8mm 'Impaler Rounds' which can penetrate up to two inches of steel plating. The Impaler is fully automatic with a fire rate of 30 rounds per second, although fully automatic fire is discouraged under most circumstances. A capacitor system is used to fire the weapon in short bursts, conserving ammunition and minimizing power requirements. Due to this, the C-14 rifle has high recoil; CMC armor is designed to suppress this. The armor can also supplement the rifle's power supply. The Impaler remains accurate up to a range of 400 meters.
