Almirian Steampunk Infantrymen Pt1

The "Silver Eagles" are elite, fanatical marksmen, fielding the Prism-Class "Valiance" Advanced Pulse Rifle that fire armour-melting rounds. The steam-powered mechanism mounted on the back superheats the 2.2 cm rounds before the trigger is pressed. This prototype technology took the Almirians many years of blind trial and error to find the highest possible temperature (without the round igniting the gunpowder inside of it).
