HIA Assault Zanbato

I first drew this out of a bit of random conceptualisation. After a bunch of crazy ideas, I settled on the Zanbato-Rifle combo for easy transfer between ranged and close combat.


Another tad bit of explanation, this time about the HIA. The Human Democratic State (Name pending) was once a peaceful nation. A small group of people, with the goal of reclaiming a lost technological relic (I'll explain later) within the Sahrenaien territory, managed to gain enough support and weaponry to organize a coup against the government. Taking control, they quickly spread out their loyal followers, establishing a totalitarian state.

HIA authority is strong, and popularity is low. Drafts are common, and the economy is focused on military advancements and production. Over time, the concept of weapon optimisation and efficiency led to high-powered, magnetically-accelerated, handheld weapons. The only major HIA weapon not to use magnetic acceleration is the Assault Zanbato.
